It is important for us to celebrate good news and talk about positive things. It's part of positive reinforcement and giving us a more holistic view of things.

Always focusing on the negative and problems has many thinking there has not been positive movement, has left people with more anxiety and depressions, and causes hordes of other problems.

Celebrating and talking about positives is important. It doesn't mean all things are hunky dory. But, it's healthy to do.

I agree in general, but this article in particular is mostly a rant against environmentalists.

How so? The article I read is mostly a list of interesting factoids about resource and commodity consumption. It doesn't attack environmentalists, if anything it starts with a jibe at journalists, but only insomuch as it notes "good news is no news".

In particular, what parts were ranty? I didn't see anything that would rise to the level of a rant. It's remarkably good natured given the invectives routinely dished out by those who would disagree.
