It certainly appears that concerned environmentalists are being misled by activists using cargo cult science. <\/p>\n
We have personally been supporting conservation efforts for many years and most of our friends support efforts to preserve wetlands and stop pollution of our waterways. Lately, however, there are too many attempts to hijack sincere environmental efforts and divert money and energy to support political scams.<\/p>\n
If a political action group tried to raise taxes for a government program "Save the Jackalopes", most environmentalists would spot the scam immediately.<\/p>\n

It is essential to life and my plants love it. If CO2 increases, plant growth increases to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n Richard Feynman<\/a> defined Cargo Cult Science where the "scientist" puts on a white coat but omits to do real experiments, theory testing & general scientific method.<\/p>\n We are seeing a lot of that these days…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It certainly appears that concerned environmentalists are being misled by activists using cargo cult science.

\nThe science is clear: global warming is happening faster than ever
