Scientists are wrong, and wrong often. It's a part of there job. I should know, I'm planning on being one.
Never base a belief on the number of believers, even if there suppose to be imformed ones. Always base it off of the evidence.
As the evidence has been put forward in this discussion, it appears that global warming is not a big issue. Local air and water issues are of a much greater concern, and it appears that those must be protected.
Smog is easy to see, and easier to deal with. Water pollution however is not, and thats were real danger lies.
Ya, there's a lot of water, but only 2% is fresh, and most of that are in the ice caps.
Stop griping and start working. If you think NASA is the devil, weak, wasteful, and idiotic, start letting politics know that you want it changed.
If you think NASA is overworked, underpayed, and fighting an uphill battle, let your voice be heard that you want more money to NASA.
This is not a majority rule, it is rule by the loudest majority. Hard on the ears, and on the mouth, but what else can you expect? The reason America is in dire straits is not because everyone is an idiot, but it's because the idiots are so loud.
AAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!
I am still in high school, and it is getting worse. Luckily for me, I live in a community that the majority feel that poeple must have the freedom to decide what they wish to do with there life, and the majority of the adults feel that they should give advice and direction, but not control. (My parents are geniuses at making me go threw a guilt trip, but it is still my choice)
The school system does not seem to reflect this though, and some of the poeple feel that the school doesn't have too, which leaves me a tiny bit scared.
