Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say you have done a great job with this. In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Opera. Excellent Blog!

One can be a producer of food, clothing and shelter, thereby increasing the standard of living for all men, or he may be a parasite, living from the output of those who work to produce our necessities. Before you decide that producers should be hobbled for the benefit of a view of the earth more to your liking, consider the severe price you exact on those you are condemning to live with cold, hungry, and ill-clothed children, deprived of the same education and future of your own children. Choose carefully between the religion of “Earth”, or the God of little children.

great article, thank you for this good coverage.

yes, i think people need to realize that science is for a purpose: to understand things better (whether it be the environment, medicine, or climate) so that we can make better decisions. it is part of the responsibility if scientists, i think, to help bring deeper knowledge on a subject to the general public and advocate for smart decisions.

thank you for this piece, Dave.
