Moreton Bay is a good example, I don't there are many people saying "let's not save the bay for the future", but we got a radical lobby focusing all the debate on the closures and very few people seem to be asking "Is this the best way to save the bay for the future?"
Likewise with climate change, who knows who is right with that debate? On the other hand, I think that many people would be happy with a bit less pollution.
