Spreading Ignorance

Yesterday, a reader whom I know personally sent out a mass email featuring a video full of false and misleading information designed to show that renewable energy is actually worse for the environment than burning fossil fuels.  He prefaced the piece, “I can’t attest to the accuracy of this, but it is interesting.”

Yes, it’s “interesting,” but if you can’t attest to its accuracy, why on God’s green Earth would you distribute it?

This is complete anti-science propaganda, and Prager “University” is simply a hotbed of ultra-right-wing lies.

You’re a man of honor. I’ve always respected that about you.

    To the writer;

    HAve you actually taken the time to check-out some of the stuff that Tyson has said though?

    it’s nice to pontificate from a position of being considered honorable, but it is not honorable — it is not correct.
