I couldn't agree more. We shouldn't waste time arguing about the cause when we should be discussing ways to reverse the trend. But there's clearly a lot of money influencing opinions,
and unfortunately, a lot of people care more about their precious wealth than the well-being of the species and the planet. All it takes is some big words, a few pretty graphs, and the uneducated among us feel like there's nothing to worry about. Halting the spread of scientific misinformation and the manipulation it engenders requires basic scientific education. People need to learn how to recognize good science from bad science - and that isn't easy.
