"The intense dislike displayed here is irrational and very unfair." - Don't be so naive John. You can find near anything remotely interesting that Monbiot has to say generally written more intelligently and critically elsewhere by other people but thats not the reason he is so disliked here. It's because most of us recognize that Monbiots' real politico-journalistic role is nothing to do with ecology or energy or saving the planet: that's just cover. Monbiots function is that of an establishment smearer: essentially hes a "hit man" paid to denigrate those whom the elite consider are becoming something of a nuisance: which is why he fits so well in the Guardian who specialise in that kind of thing.
