It's the impact it has on social policy (or threatens to have). It guilt trips people. It's open to misinterpretation and high horsing which doesn't endear it to a lot of people. And, yeah, it threatens the income streams of the greedy.Skerret wrote:Money?Listen it comes down to a very simple thing. There are people who's profession it is to study the globe's climate.

Essentially, the proposed remedies almost all involve "quality of life" hits, if quality equates to cheapness plus convenience. No wonder they are so unpopular.cockbeard wrote:Really hard to sell a lightbulb to someone who thinks electricity is bad, let alone a smartphone, or letting an employer send money via copper (or glass) wires rather than putting cash in my hands
