| Re: Bad science ....
I know, I was just being pedantic, sorry! And I agree about politicians, I think they are often the worst for short-term planning because of the length of time they're in office...
I don't really want to get into an argument about the ins and outs of climate change though because it's not an issue I am qualified to comment on. I try and keep an open mind, and if it turns out I was wrong, and global warming isn't our fault then great, I'll be happy. Maybe we'll have wasted resources on 'green' research or had to cut down on our comforts more that we'd have liked to along the way, but I can live with that I think. What worries me more is that misinterpretation of data or even perfectly correct statments about scientific research, but that isn't properly explained will just lead to confusion and apathy amongst teh public, which would be disastrous if global warming is due to anthropogenic effects. |
