I've read the article, and have read a lot like it, likewise, I've read the articles, where it's the opposite.

What I've got against articles, or studies like what you post, is that it's always geared towards, we the peasants. We the peasants must learn to do with less, and less, yet the oligarchy flaunt their wealth, more, and more, and pollute on a ever greater scale.

We're regulated down to farting; yet, what of the global monopolized, and most of the times unneeded global shipping by way of the sea? I've read that 15 ships pollute more in a day, than all cars in the world in a given year. There are thousands, to tens of thousands of those ships; many hauling poor animals alive, over to Asia for 'processing'(imagine your last bit of life on one of those ships!), and then returned as meat. It's pointless, and only serves to make greater profit.

So, as any wise person would say, 'you jump first'. It's big money funding all of those 'studies', and those studies wouldn't get the grants without adhering to what the research is 'wanting to discovery'. Scientist doesn't play along, then they'll be lucky to be a high school teacher. That's manipulation.

Let the oligarchy, the aristocrats jump first!

Yes if we really want to prevent pollution, we will reduce the pollution of the biggest polluters: The US Military, and these giant multi-national companies

Good points, I agree with the military, but at the same time, see so much resistance in regards to people who've been conned into believing patriotism is blind faith, and support at their master's word.

Yup. But those type of people are even slowly waking up. The public resistance to the idea of a war with Iran is immense. It's even larger than before war with Iraq. And the Vietnam war opened a lot of people's eyes, and anti-war became a mainstream position for more than just oddballs. Now there is a significant portion of the population that is anti-war and educated about it, and that portion is only growing as people have more information availability.

They are waking up at an unprecedented rate. Their censorship doesn't really help, it exposes their hand and gets more people to question the status quo.

Could not agree with you more.
