Agreed.
Sadly, way too many educated (college eds, yah you) will just believe things like this and commit it to memory without a challenge of any kind. Don't feel bad, you've been programmed to do that. That's how you pass exams. Now then, if you want real education, take your professors to task on these issues. Sure, they may have 100 facts to baffle your mind with, but that is because they've been programmed much longer than you have. (and their paychecks depends on it) All of you college kids (there are exceptions) are all being trained to go with the flow, through intimidation and coercion. (and your grades/future job/social status depend on it)
I disagree with most of all of Smart Planet's stances, respectfully, to show others that just because 100 people say it's right doesn't make it right.
How many inventions that shaped our world today were created by people that were told by their peers and educators that they were wrong or didn't understand? How many were told "that will never work - you don't know what you're doing"? How many of them proved those 100 other naysayers wrong?
Climate Change will go down in history as a political crow-bar. A lot of you will have a lot of shame to deal with.
