[QUOTE="Droid, post: 1464540, member: 220"] I think you might be misunderstanding me when I say "All science has been wrong before." It's kind of how science works. For example, Isaac Newton was wrong. F does in fact not equal m*a. The point I'm making here is that scientific understanding expands over time. The argument of "science was wrong before" for dismissing advancements in science is absurd. The right's denial of climate change is absurd. We can measure it, and we know it's us. Some of the left's actions on climate change and other environmental policies have increased the cost of doing business here and contributed to it only being practical to offshore it. Now we get our stuff from factories in China where the air is brown and the law is what you can get away with and pay for. They send product over on container ships that burn heavy fuel oil, adding 3% to global CO2 emissions. And then they use their tax profits to build hundreds of coal plants in Africa with no-money-down and 50 year commitments: [URL]https://www.npr.org/2019/04/29/716347646/why-is-china-placing-a-global-bet-on-coal[/URL]. Cliff notes: * Climate change is a critical problem. * The right is being stupid about it. * The left is being stupid about it. [/QUOTE]
