I agree with this one of your statements. With the rest I maintain you are way off course.
The problem with further discussion is, we've been there before. We know what comes next. People denying obvious facts, events from the past, well established and science supported opinions till the point one loses their cool and all ends in a pissing match. No need for that.
And , no, I do not believe in the framework of environmental laws and that it will save the environment. Not a chance.
