Mike,
Of course you are right to challenge their assertions, but the problem
remains that even the finest science available canât affect insensible
beliefs that are reinforced by a contrived set of anomalous facts. We are
dealing with an ideological movement unencumbered by the constraints of
rationality and judiciousness that serves to restrain the opposing culture
of science. We are faced with a frustrating conundrum. To engage them only
emboldens and lends legitimacy to their argument by creating a false sense
of equivalency. To ignore them as you say lets them further cultivate a
doctrine that is likely to lead to an ecological catastrophe. In the end we
really have no choice but to take them on one by one if need be. It's
maddening, but we must remain resilient in the hope that public awareness
will ultimately right the ship in time. One thing is for sure, we need more
warriors willing to take on the risks inherent in speaking truth to power.
Steve
