Magazine article: The Environmental Commissioner' s new proposals are called Fresh Thinking on the Environment, and a nationwide debate on them has been announced. Well, fresh thinkingfrom such an unlikely source as the commissioner does deserve closer inspection. Unfortunately we discovered that these proposals are virtually identical to those issued three months ago by Tsarque Inc. under the heading New Environmentalism (Tsarque Inc. ' s chief is a close friend of the commissioner). Since Tsarque Inc. ' s polluting has marked it as an environmental nightmare, in our opinion the nationwide debate can end here.


A flaw in the magazine article's reasoning is that it dismisses the proposals because of their source rather than because of their substance.
