Enviros! Listen up! Kristof's got something to say!

My favorite is when Nicholas Kristof gives advice to the environmental movement. Not because he's 100% off base, but because he does so in a tone that is always a weird combination of ignorance and mild condescension. For example, see Has Kristof ever BEEN to Washington?, 3/19/05.

In today's NYT Kristof is in fine form, with a really good suggestion about how the environmental movement can assert a positive vision. The suggestion is: North American cheetah reintroduction. (Why didn't we think of this sooner?!?! I must convince my organization to hire a Pleistocene re-wilding specialist immediately!)

As usual, on the right track with the "positive vision" thing, but...ummm...we're all kinda busy with...some..other...stuff...
