Mercury Rising

AITOOW thinks all these climate crackpots share a faith in something akin to astrology? Which is also a resurgent belief. They take a bit of soft science and use it to explain every cosmic occurrence. When I was a kid they were hysterical over the oncoming ice age. Then we had to save the forests by eschewing paper (trees) in favor of plastics. The list is long of all the "quick fix" environmental edicts that were cure alls and had negative unintended consequences. The thing they all had in common was the "soft science" they were based on and the lack of critical analysis that the scientific method is meant to correct.
