Maybe they do and nobody is listening?
The crux with complicate topics is that oversimplification can lead to wrong conclusions. So experts are always eager to avoid the point that leads to the wrong direction and are careful with their explanations.
The question is whether cowspiracy and seaspiracy turned in the wrong direction or whether the critics are just to cautious.

- retSava 6y agoThere are levels. Individuals may need something that seems like "entertainment" to accept and make individual change. Politicians need something else, eg science and studies, in order to conduct politics and change/form laws and regulation. Both are needed.

When was the last time a popular politician gave any regard to scientific studies. In politics, it's all about 3 things. Money, money, and money.
