Demeter,

You mean we have to let a generation of environmentalists die out?

The Laws of Physics are not just truths that we made up; they are Mother Nature's truths.

The Laws of Physics are the laws that Mother Nature herself obeys; and so can be considered ultimate truths.

More and more, I see the problem that we have a generation of environmentalists that were propagandized from childhood by the likes of "Captain Planet", David Suzuki, and Bill Nye. This generation of environmentalist learned an awful lot of crap that is at variance with the ultimate truth; the Laws of Physics.

I had hoped that the present generation of environmentalists could be retrained to adhere to the Laws of Physics. Now, I guess, the world will have to wait until this generation that grew up on "Captain Planet" and and won't let go of their fictional power rings; will have to die out before we get a generation of environmentalists that have a good grounding in science instead of cartoons.

The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
--Neil deGrasse Tyson
