The problem with so-called science is that it is corrupted by politics.  Any high school freshman should be able to understand that science is never "settled."  Not with climate change and not with the scientists who believed that the size of the universe was static until that theory was replaced with the big bang theory. Science is a continuous, changing quest for knowledge based on observation and inquiry.  But common sense tells me it is pretty darn likely that putting countless tons of poison in the atmosphere can't be good for the planet or those of us who inhabit it.  I do not know why this is a political issue.  Shed your alt-right/ctrl-left bias and realize we do not actually know for certain what we are doing to the planet.  That alone should prompt us to be careful about it.  But I'm no scientist.
