I could do my own study and determine that water is the biggest cause of death the world has ever known:

1. 100% of all people exposed to water will die.
2. Water is the leading cause of drowning.
3. Water is one of the primary ingredients in herbicides and pesticides.
4. 100% of all serial killers, rapists and drug dealers have admitted to drinking water.
5. Water can be chemically synthesized by burning rocket fuel.
6. 100% of all dead people have had some interaction with water at some point in their lives.

I always wondered how they did studies like this. Do they wait until the person dies then bring them back to life to see if they would live longer another way? Everyone dies in their own time so how do they determine that this death was premature caused by whatever? Do studies like this include healthy eaters that are killed in war? That would certainly bring the statistical numbers down.

We are defiantly in a pickle. And as long as we continue basing our judgements and "progressiveness" on fear then we will not go very far. It may seem an odd sort of approach but I think we would have a better chance of doing things if we actually did things that are proven to work. Right now most of the offerings that are being laid out, and done, are for profiteering and don't actually work. The Paris Accord is just another example of this backward way of doing things.
