Environmental doomstay crap is scary and impossible to disprove. I get so angry about this stuff that I can't even put a thought together when I argue the point.
The worst thing is, the way these "issues" are presented, there's no public intelligent debate. The media picks a side, calls the other side idiots (or worse), and then they just walk away once the hysteria winds down and they can't use it to sell adds anymore.
Not to get off the point, but back when healt and not environmental issues were all the rage, the same thing happened with silicone breast implants. After the public outcry, and they were banned, it took the "idiots" about 10 years to go through the actual facts and realize that these health problems weren't occuring any more in the women with fake boobies than they were in the general population. No one ever went back to the effin doctors who wanted to be on TV and asked them where they got their incorrect information.
To amke matters worse, issues that really do exist get brushed to the side because they're not sexy enough to displace the hyped-up hysterical garbage.
