... It's not an easy decision to make, in this case, and so we need to know what the actual effects of those actions are, so they can be weighed against the other known consequences.  Attempts to control those decisions through the contol of information and the proliferation of misinformation obfuscate our ability to make the best decisions we can make.

Oh, I agree with that.  I think we are just putting the cart before the horse.  I am just saying that living a more responsible life on earth ought to be the starting point.   We shouldn't put off environmental responsibility just because people have differing opinions on what the end results will be.

To me it seems like we are trying to determine how much poison we can drink before we kill ourselves when the real effort ought to be to just stop drinking the poison.
