Listen to Environmental Experts, Regret it Thirty Years Later
June 9, 2007 · By Aaron Unruh
Dumping tires into the ocean to help create artificial reefs in South Florida seemed like a good idea 30 years ago.
But in retrospect, experts now have a better understanding of its unintended effects. And so the good intentions of that project now give way to a cooperative effort to remove the tires, which have been washing up on shore, drifting onto real reefs and killing corals.
Raising alarms about global cooling seemed like a good idea thirty years ago too.
It WAS a good idea 30 years ago!!! It’s today that it’s irrelevant (because it’s too late).
The question is what environmental theories from today will be consider bunk thirty years from now?
Right..so therefore we should ignore all environmental science, as it ‘might be wrong’. Maybe they were wrong about the ozone layer, deforestation, and pollution too.
It seemed like a good solution to a real problem to someone 30 years ago, so they tried it, and it didn’t work. That doesn’t change the fact that there really WAS a problem.
It’s quite a stretch to compare methods of creating an artificial reef, to global warming, as your post ever-so-subtly intended.
The might be wrong about smoking too. Might as well smoke away.
