Political science is bad for the environment.

When do we tell the government they can’t legislate fictional science to feed their need to regulate our lives while they profit from our private vices like smoking, drinking and gambling?
The Journal of the Cancer Inst. Reports that second hand smoke has a risk factor of only 1.2 and that anything below 2 is considered small, yet the risk factor for breast cancer after abortion is 1.5 and it gets no media attention and certainly no government intrusion.
And what about bicycle helmets? According to Western Standard researcher, John Luik, bike helmets may cause more injuries because users have a false sense of security and may take more risks. G.B. Rodgers looked at 8 million cases over 15 years and found “no evidence that hard shell helmets have reduced the head injury and fatality rates.” Indeed, “the bicycle-related fatality rate is positively and significantly correlated with increased helmet use.” Transport Canada statistics show the same amount of deaths before and after compulsory helmet laws. In New York state head injuries went up after increased helmet use.
The current left-wing lie is global warming. Government and media radicals are flying against real scientific facts to sell a gullible public their secular version of Armageddon. In spite of mountains of information to the contrary, green brains look forward to creating big, unionized government agencies to control our environment (people). Call me a nit-picker but paying other countries, who aren’t even on the green wagon, billions of our overtaxed dollars, is as close to insanity as you can get but then, this has never been about rational thinking.
This is about a liberal/NDP party that has gotten so shallow and morally bankrupt that they don’t have an issue that they can hang their collective hats on. The global warming lie is about all they could come up with to sell to people in polluted, voter rich cities, which doesn’t focus on their poor leadership, boondoggles and radical social agendas. God help us all in rural Canada if they get their way. The sad part is the national media is still helping them.
