Here’s a quiz. What is the most important thing you can do to stop global warming? Is it eating organic? Turning down the A/C? Driving a hybrid car?
According to the June issue of WIRED Magazine, none of those things are as important as cutting carbon. Instead we should embrace nuclear power, clear-cut the old-growth forests, forget organic food, and ditch the hybrid car, all in an effort to slow down global warming by any mean necessary.
As part of our series "The Next Green Thing," WIRED contributing editor Spencer Reiss joined Word of Mouth to kill some of environmentalism's sacred cows with the "ten inconvenient truths" of climate change.
