willing ignorance could be applied to the hysteria that has overcome the environmentalists - especially the global warmists.
The science is never settled, despite the Left's continual "the science is settled" mantra about global warming.
Remember the egg? First the egg (with steak) was great for you. Then the egg was bad for you. Then good, then bad. Now, the egg is once again a wonder food...
Remember paper bags? First they were a great use of byproduct. Then the spotted owl, and plastic bags were a great use of petrol byproduct. Then plastics bad, need reuseable bags. Then we got sick from re-using our bags, Now, it's back to paper again but this time no one even mentions the Spotted Owl?! Interesting, indeed!
There are two problems here, and none have to do with will ignorance on the Right:
1. Science is always re-learning its lessons and always flipping before they be flopping.
2. Lefties typically jump on the latest science with hysteria and cost all of us $ & hassle.
So, chillout
