Interesting topic.
I am bit torn between an eco-fascist stance like yourself and a laissez-faire approach. Because on one hand I think some unquestionable dangerous pollution is just unnecessary and just a consequence of peoples ignorance, egotism and laziness.
On the other hand I think some environmentalists make too much a fuzz about it and consider garbage like some evil, alien substance which must not have any contact with the "natural" environment. I mean in the end, this stuff came from the earth and humans have just transformed it into a new state which is in some instances toxic for some type of organisms for some time, but the idea that we are able to do some irreversible damage to nature in this way, is human hubris in my opinion.
Regarding the alternative theories about so called fossil fuels, you can look into the book "The deep hot biosphere", which was mentioned by Peat on several occasions.
