That's kind of where I'm at with one modification. The human innovation factor. I'm pretty sure we would be overpopulated and facing massive food prices *if* we hadn't greatly increased crop yields. The hole in the ozone layer was reversed due to modifications in human activity. Fracking and additional oil exploration has pushed back "peak oil". That doesn't mean none of those things were in pace to happen, it just means smart people who did see the problem came up with solutions. Perhaps I'm foolish to do so, but I trust the smart people who are studying this sort of thing to have real workable solutions despite the dumb people who've been elected trying to make it a political issue. I'm also sure there will be unintended consequences to some extent.
At the end of the day, I'm not one of the smart people. I'm not one of the elected people. I am just taking someone else's word for it either way as I don't have the foundation to truly understand the underlying arguments. So who gives a shit? I certainly don't get the hair pulling over the topic being on the forum or people disagreeing. With potentially one exception, I don't think anyone here is doing anything but repeating what the people they've chosen to believe have told them. I don't think anyone here is in a position of power to do anything about it, nor do I think anyone's going to change their voting pattern because of it. So let people discuss things on a discussion board, and if you need PISTOL forum in all your PISTOL forum topics, you can ignore whole subforums and not be subjected to this at all.
