- __jal 10y agoMore like a strong economy == lots of energy use, and lots of energy use == lots of pollution, because the world uses lots of dirty energy. The fact that one can guess some results ahead of time doesn't cast doubt on the results, any more than, after coughing blood and 40 years of smoking, a positive cancer diagnosis is suspect. I rate this rhetorical tactic a 3: poor composition, not enough work either developing the implication of skullduggery or making it more subtle, missed opportunities for additional attacks on reporters' credibility.
