Science, I thought, was based on hard data, and took years to develop proper modeling, but it seems that countries have jumped the gun, and are doing things to damage economies, and transfer wealth, rather than help the environment just to be good stewards of the earth. To me, this is no different than atheists ragging on fundie Christians proclaiming the apocalypse and rapture are near, and to radically change their ways - they are preaching fire & brimstone to force change, rather than promote change. |
My thoughts exactly. It's ironic, the analogy to fundamental Christians, isnt it?
Because the difference is that the Christians are (mostly) aware of the fact that their claims are based on faith, and shouldn't cause political decisions and force all kinds of restrictions and costs upon other people that don't share the same beliefs.
