I think your given example could benefit from spelling it out further.
Let’s say that I read "Rinsing your recycling (in water heated by electricity generated by coal) generates more carbon than the recycling saves", investigate it, and convlude it’s true.
What is the additional truth that statement is making me think the opposite of? I lost you there.
- ZeroGravitas 5y agoThat multiple, independant, well-regarded and thorough lifecycle analyses of recycling have consistently shown it to be both financially and environmentally (including but not limited to carbon output specifically) beneficial. edit: I removed a "not" to clear up the ambiguous double-negative. Summary, my position is that science says recycling is a good thing. Numerous media stories will focus relentlessly on any small flaw in it, either to get a reaction from the people who do it and think it's a good thing, or support the people who fight against it for political reasons as it represents (like global warming) a massive failure of free markets.
