It is what you say. I object to the absolute certainty of the writing.
The use of language in a piece of journalistic writing colors my perception of it. Saying that the only reason the world knows anything comes off as grandstanding.
That said... I think the author is fighting a good fight. Maybe this kind of reporting eventually helps the cause. I just don't like all the emotional strings being pulled.
Finally, unrelated... Every organic chemist should understand intuitively how dumb it is to let undegradable shit loose in the environment. This is polychlorinated biphenyls all over again, without the chloracne.
- smt88 6y ago> I object to the absolute certainty of the writing. That's a better way to phrase it than "complete bullshit", which suggests you object to more than just the certainty. I'm not really sure what your nitpick is here, anyway. Because <100% of people found out about this harmful pollution from that lawsuit, it's unfair to say that most people did? Do you just believe that you can't credit anyone for popularizing anything, because some niche of people already knew?
