> The entire history of the ecological movement is about conservationists working incredibly hard to create the notion of "pollution" as a concept, persuade people to believe it, build technology to detect it, generate data based on that, prove that it actually causes harm, and get people to care. This seems more like a problem of convincing people of truth than problem of the contept of pollution. We have built technology to detect it - we have no such technology to detect truth. So pollution is measurable, truth is not. > Really, please do learn more about the history of ecology and conservation and you will realize that the truth is anything but what you just said. No, I don't think me having an epiphany of "Gasp! That person on the internet was RIGHT, I was completely WRONG! Pollution is a harder problem than truth!" is going to happen, no matter how much history of ecology I learn. It's a cute sentiment, though.
