... the number of people that blurt out things like,
"If things keep going like they are, all our cities will be under water in a few years."
"Don't you know that all the polar bears are going to die if we don't quit driving cars?"
"Hurricane Katrina is an example of what we can expect more of in the future because of all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."
When you ask these well-meaning altruists why they have this opinion, the answer usually cites vague second-hand knowledge of the facts. As in:
"That United Nations report says so."
"Well all the scientists think so."
"I heard it on Anderson Cooper."
"What? You don't think so? Oh."
What's your reaction when you read or hear, "Anonymous sources told us."?
Uh huh.
Baaaaaaahhhhahaahhhh
