Public Health and Private Choice

ibanda scribbled: It seems like most conspiracy theorists that you prefer to select the facts to fit your pre-conceived theories. Science is about observation, constructing hypotheses to test those observations, repeating and refining the process as needed. Thousands, if not tens of thousands of scientists have studied and demonstrated the existence of climate change. Denying it exists is at best naive and at worst destructive. It is not 'Greens' who hold the human race in contempt but those who deny what is in front of their faces for short term economic benefit.

Cold Sun Cold Earth

from damettro

I can understand why people believe that global warming is real and that all the things Greens say are true. One cannot read a newspaper or magazine, turn on the television or radio, without getting the Green message. / Since switching their message in the 1970s that an Ice Age was coming to t...

Community and Story telling

from ibanda in Creative Writing, Short Stories

Think about any family gathering and almost certainly it will involve the sharing of stories, not just about the people there but also about people long gone.
