Well let's see, was it the Natives who shot all the buffalo, damned all the rivers, and laid down the tracks for Mr. Peabody's coal train? This thread shouldn't be about pointing fingers, but about addressing science.
This thread is about addressing climate change. Did the natives build the economies (including dams and coal trains) that invented the technologies that produced the medicine that saved or improved billions of lives? This may be harsh but it's easy for a group to be holier than thou on the environment when their economic & technological activity amounts to very little.
How about all of the "indigenous" Africans and east/south asians who flood their rivers with
**** and
**** and mountains of garbage?
My point is North American aboriginals aren't a model for sustainability because their economics aren't compatible or desirable for most of us. We need to invent a new model of sustainability that is compatible with modern industrialization and economic growth, unless we want to live in the stone age again.
