The average person doesn;t have time to research original scientific papers.  They depend on popular media.  Even if they did, most papers are so obtuse, they're difficult to understand.

Yet the average person forms an opinion based on that overrepresented fake science in most blogs. That explains.

That is not a fact at all.

Sure it is.  It's a fact just like someone who witnesses a crime, testifies at trial, and sends the guy to jail.  Regardless, anyone can create results they want by cherry picking the statistics or methodology.

People are fooled all the time by propaganda, bias news reporting, and outright lies.  Political, product advertising or whatever.  Nothing new about that. Even on photo forums. :)

Gullible people are easily fooled.

Guilt?  Increasing population causes all the problems.  What penalty should we apply?  Allow woman to only have one child like the Chinese tried?
The guilt of human action, not sex.

It was 99 here yesterday. That breaks the record for October 1st. It also breaks the record for the number of consecutive days it has been over 90 degrees at 97. Add to that, we got virtually no rain in September. All the grass is dead and the ground is littered with dead dry leaves. Hot, hot, hot.

That's funny, in New Jersey where I live, we had the rainiest year in history last year.  And a lot this year.  Doesn't stop. A lot in the month of September.  Maybe we can ship you water?   Isn't global warming strange?  Seems like it has little to do with local weather patterns.  Yes?  No?

Rome metro offers free transportation tickets for passengers who bring in used plastic bottles.

Quote
Not have enough cash for a metro ticket in Rome? No worries, just collect a few plastic bottles and you'll be able to ride for free. Italy's capital is offering travellers a way to exchange their waste plastic bottles for tickets on its public transport system.

In San Giovanni metro station, commuters were queuing holding bags full of empty bottles to experience the program "+Ricicli +Viaggi" (the more you recycle, the more you travel) that allows passengers to return plastic bottles in exchange for a 5-cent credit that could be accrued and spent to purchase digital tickets. Through the MyCicero app, users can scan their personal barcode on a special recycling machine, insert empty plastic bottles inside a compactor and digitally buy rides.

Many States like NYS where I lived before have bottle laws where you pay an extra few cents for each bottle you buy.  Then the stores return the money when you return the bottle to them when you go shopping again. Other states like New Jersey where I now live have recycling programs.  I have to separate my garbage between home trash and recyclables into two garbage cans that get picked up by different garbagemen and garbage trucks.

In NYC and elsewhere, a cottage industry has grown where homeless people pickup up bottles they find on the street for the value of the deposit.  Here's a shot of them I took up in the Bronx where automatic machines crush the cans and give the deposit value back in change.
