No, but those who want to get rid of an open and free society are. If you are so sure that your science is right then you should be able to use the force of truth to win your debates rather then the force of law. If climate change skeptics are posing such a big obstacle to your plans to save the world, how can you be sure that there is absolutely no validity to their arguments? That said, I guess that it's easier to just steamroll them anyways and just pretend that they are all nuts. I mean, it's not like CNN or the rest of the mainstream media who have been telling us that there is consensus on the climate change debate for the last 15 years ever lies or distorts the truth, right? |
The president you support isn't just actively taking steps against protecting the climate (even tough that was his most publicized step with regards to environmentalism and is also spoofed in the article in OP), he has lifted protections for national parks and protected areas and has lifted the clean water act.
We KNOW pollution and chemical waste in freshwater with access to the sea is desastrous to entire eco systems. Same with hot water from coolingsystems, say for a coal-fired power plant, that gets routed back into rivers unfiltered and uncooled. That isn't up for debate. But if whoever is in power isn't listening to 'the power of truth' because they follow their own selfish and shortsighted goals that come from a place of extreme privilige, then there isn't much you can do, hard evidence or not.
Whoever is in power has to WILLING to listen or they have to be MADE to listen by public pressure. You're not freeing a society by willfully destroying their potential future and allowing companies to do whatever they want no matter how harmful. It only produces more cost, more problems and more misery in the long run.
Also official statements given by scientific assiciations do not equal CNN. It's not the media telling you it's real. They are just broadcasting the message. And the more research gets done the clearer that meassage gets. But feel free, it you don't trust CNN, or even the official statements of scientific associations, read the studies yourself.
