Too much of anything is bad. |
You don't have to be insane. You have to know what you are talking about. There are plenty of scientists and plenty of good data that shows the effects of burning fossil fuels on the co2 levels is questionable.
The 'you have to be insane' statment falls into the same problematic cycle that the article talks about. It was basically accpeted and perpetuated, without much evidence at all, that fossil fuel burning was the main cause of rising co2 levels. Now 'you have to be insane' to not believeit even though it has not been proved. How about someone show some actual scientific evidence. Not something that is totally interperable either way.
I'll agree that it is 'dirty' for the planet but I am unconvinced. I'd just like some real answers and not political answers from scientists. On both sides of the fence. I don't know who to really believe.
