“People with a mission to save the earth want the earth to seem worse than it is so their mission will look more important.” -P. J. O’Rourke
[Really, anyone on a 'crusade' of some kind wants their problem to seem worse than it is, and doesn't have a large incentive to see it resolved unless they care more about the actual problem than their own influence. Sadly, influence is addictive and corrupting.]
