Re: E-M:/ response to the TC Commissioners

Enviro-Mich message from Larry Nooden <ldnum@umich.edu>

The comments from the TC Commissioners is a testimony to the power of the
disinformation campaign (which Exxon Mobil and others have quietly
continued despite their public statements).
Yes, there is a swindle here. The American people are getting swindled by
the disinformation campaign and those profiting from it. Very likely there
will be economic costs to the public; we are already suffering from the
failure of our industries to be competitive in the new world emerging.
Little wonder the Europeans and increasingly other nations view the US as
unreliable if not unstable.
It all reminds me of the flat Earth people (remember Galileo and Church had
this disagreement). Apparently, they are still out there, but they were
prominent into the 1950s. When Sputnik went up, they had all sorts of
excuses, and when the fist photos came back from space, they were dismissed
as fakes. There is another Dark Ages argument out there, evolution and the
age of the Earth, but that is off-topic. In these antiscience diatribes,
the strength/certainty of the opinion is always inversely related to their
knowledge.
Traverse area really needs a new set of representatives; you can be sure
this problem is only the "tip of the iceberg".
