To those who are about to read debunking threads...


...if you are a true skeptic you look at the evidence supplied, then to the source of said information and you look what incentives that could corrupt the realiability of measurements and validity of the studies. Empiric evidence is supplied here, weigh it with your own mind against people who might or might not get grants/support and affluent positions in return for signing their name onto a report.
Also take the time to read up on what % of chemicals of those gone through that EPA limits, that will open your eyes to how "well" regulation works in USA.

Note that this is an industry that pay for and corrupts the same politicians that gave you sweet lines along the line with; Saddam supports the Taliban, we are not going to IRAQ for oil, Saddam has WOMD, there is no torture going on ("enhanced interrogation") and that has lead the country to deeper socio-economic (rich has more, poor has less) segregation than during the depression.
These industries and companies employ 10's of thousands of people that are dependant on this to live, they will lie and stubbornly missinform and delude.

Besides that there are astroturfers (payed agents) that work over social media and forums with the intent to negate public opinion, missinform and delude politicians and the public alike. These are companies that have set up public none profit organisation to lobby to politicians that global warming is a hoax and spent billions to lobby politicians to ignore regulation, lessen regulation and corrupt them alltogether.

[Everything is stated as opinion, for legal reasons, there are plenty of evidence to back it up though]

Sites you might want to visit that has covered corruption of the government by big companies (please also do a search on how many chemicals EPA has banned and it will put things in perspective);
