In reply to the discussion: 109 Nobel Laureates sign a letter slamming Greenpeace. [View all]NNadir
(37,047 posts)...kinds of people, one realizes that they're complete fools, and you hope that eventually reality will win out and people will recognize them for what they are. Usually, they can be brought into paroxyms of saying ever more stupid things, but what's the point. It's not like they're bright enough to shut their mouths.
Actually reality always does win out, since it's, well, "reality" and the issue you may be trying to address is trying to minimize the pain that avoiding reality brings. This is not always possible as regrettable as it may be.
Greenpeace is an organization of stupid and uneducated people, and for a long time, they were able to do great harm because of their puerile marketing approach to trivializing serious issues about which they know nothing. Their membership is, however, declining, and, as the OP demonstrates, they are now being challenged in the media on their ignorance. It does seem this effort by the Nobel Laureates has gotten quite a bit of press. That's all good.
As for the loudmouthed fools I have on ignore, I'm an old man, and I'm trying to see as much as I can before I die. I see no reason to suffer fools at this point. They are distractions, and they keep me from my work.
But we each address these things in our own way, and while I certainly understand your view, I've changed my mind and chosen a different path.
Best regards,
