However, mr.elite has called me an idiot several times and claimed global warming was single-handedly invented by Al Gore. I'm all for debate. I haven't had time for this thread since the first day. I just started summer school yesterday and today. I'll be back! I've been keeping my eye on this thread though. I'm glad everybody agrees we need sustainable resources since the non-renewable energy sources are finite and the amount of babies we can potentially squirt out is infinite. I think we need to go sustainable faster than you guys and think it'll save us money, create more jobs, and be better for our air and water and food. |
Sorry for the confusion, I wasn't directly referencing your post about gravity (I didn't even remember who said it when I typed that), I was more referencing a mindset of absolute certainty regarding a theory. I've encountered plenty of people who say things like 'It's not even up for debate' 'It's a scientific fact', etc when it's really a theory. Like I said before, I think it's been overhyped into a frenzy of fear, doom & gloom, and panic never leads to good decisions. I just wish people from both sides could temper their rhetoric somewhat and come up with reasonable solutions together.
