It may behoove all of us to read a wide variety of news so we can try and come to a conclusion about what the real truth is as so much of what passes for news in our wonderful disruptive internet age is slanted or prejudiced or just plain nonsense.
In a way, news on the internet is a kind of Yelp review of facts: the 1's and the 5's can be discounted immediately, and the 2's, 3's and 4's need to be parsed for some hint of the actual truth. |
People like Grapesoda will only believe the few studies that fit their own state of denial -- not the general consensus that says we're on a path to disaster. Albeit a slow moving disaster that won't hit us like an earthquake, but it's going to be devastating in the long run.
I don't know what it is about that conservative mindset that makes them want so badly to deny what most scientists (except for a few kooks) believe is coming.
