It has been made that way and thus it is. And since it is pol..ics, stretching the truth is just part of it. With some of the links supplied on here, I have found all the studies filled with "perhaps", "could", etc. so even the best studies have trouble making definitive statements.
If you take something like that.....give it to politicians and you will have pol...itical discussion no matter now hard you try to avoid.
The issue is/has been used as needed by those pol...ticians , and you can check me on that. I do not want to go any further as then we have discussion on an issue that is Pol...cal !!!!
Some have suggested and implied about the younger generation being so much better than the older generation.....THAT kind of thing is certainly painting with the broadest brush possible. Speaking for my generation, all the criticizing in the world will not make me feel guilty, as NONE of this was ever discussed.
I still think it is important but we will destroy OURSELVES well before any climate change gets us if we do not address the moral breakdown !

I agree with you, Bucco, but would add one thing. Yes, I grew up knowing nothing of this and do not feel guilty about my prior practices, but now that I know some things, I feel a responsibility to change my ways, and when I slip I feel present-day guilt.
