Why Aren't Environmentalists Begging To Stop The Search For The Malaysian Airliner?

The Modern Environmental Movement Is A Battle For Political Power And Corporate Money

Hey buddy, what's your carbon footprint?  If you are part of the search party for the M.I.A. Malaysian Boeing 777 it is huge.  With 25 countries taking part in the search (so far) the total cost of time, fuel, and manpower may be eventually measured in the 100's of millions (to be conservative).  As for the carbon footprint? You wont hear a word about it.

Imagine a military exercise slated to take 100's of ships/vessels without a firm completion date.  Now imagine the uproar and calculations that would be made to determine the 'environmental damage'... Huge! Right?

Do we really need to look for the lost 777? We feel obligated, but lets please be honest, we know that it went down and that the primary correction needed is for a permanent transponder to be installed to all commercial aircraft so that we can track future suicide missions. Aside from that, the wreckage (if there is any) will eventually be spotted by passing ships on their normal routes.

So where is the outrage over the wasted tonnage of carbon into the atmosphere.  Isn't this carbon just as damaging as that produced by your SUV, dog, or hamburger?

It's a prime example that the environmental advocates of today's world carefully pick their fights (not on the merits of saving soil, air, or water); instead with a firm basis on political and monetary gain rooted deeply in public opinion.  As for the environment, it will probably survive the terrible toll of humans searching for loved ones.
