Also it's become a social movement with it's music, slogans, guru's, politicians that pander, movies, etc etc etc.
Like with paper-recycling, this myth will now be pushed forward by the social movement and business behind it, not because of the science, economics or common sense. Two years of global cooling, when will they trash their idea you ask? Well, consider that after the ban of DDT, TENS OF THOUSANDS died from malaria and that didn't make much news. It took 30+ years to turn that tide and to where at least some recognition of the fallacy has come out. How about Acid Rain? The dangers of microwave ovens, cell phones, high power lines, the “Ozone Hole!!!!!!” Do you remember the stories of us all having skin cancer soon? I grew up 100% sure that by the time I'm an adult all our forests would have succumb to acid rain. Never mind the Rain Forest which also should already have disappeared, or our rivers that are so polluted that it will take hundreds of years for them to cleans themselves. Those nuclear test sites will be inhabitable for thousands of years, polluted by radiation, just in case you didn't know! In case you ever want to visit one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2MTVlqFy3A
Don't hold your breath. The stupids aren't done yet with this cow since she's still bringing them some milk. Doomsday prophets and guru's have always been around.
” TENS OF THOUSANDS died from malaria”
Actually,the number of unnecessary deaths from malaria is measured in the MILLIONS not thousands!
