It IS a scientifically proven fact that the activities of human beings are a major cause of global warming, pollution, and the contamination of the Earth. |
This is an ignorant post. And your metaphors are lacking. It would be more like if someone sat on the hood of their car while it was running. It would be almost completely harmless.
No, its not scientifically proven. If it was, we wouldn't be having this debate. Most of the research you see, read, and hear, is propogated by lobbyists and environmental groups to convince the masses that industrial pollution is dangerous. This also creates a viable market for "green" products, so that people pay a lot more money for a similar product. Consider the price of "energy saving" lightbulbs over regular bulbs. Why on earth would they be more expensive if they conserve energy? In reality, they just cut down the voltage/wattage, so you often get a much duller bulb, though it uses less electricity.
