Not everything the government tells you is true or accurate
And not everything old people tell you is true or accurate, I prefer to make decisions based on the facts.
When I was a kid, there were assemblies in school with groups telling us the Earth was going to enter another ice age if we didn't stop polluting. Now, oops, it's warming. Or is it? 11 year solar cycle, natural patterns...
Who am I to believe anecdotal stories or scientific research? I'll take the evidence any day.
Follow the money. It will show you who has what agenda.
I followed the money, and came back realizing every argument in denial of the scientific consensus on climate change had to do with how doing anything about it would cost money. Their bias is clear as day. Not impressed.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and funded by unintended consequences. Environmentalists used to love the hydroelectric power plants on the Columbia River. Now they hate them because "they warm the river". They used to love CFB's, and got laws in place to mandate them. Now they hate them. The list goes on.
Sounds like they were able to adapt their point of view based on the evidence instead of stuck in their old ways and views. Nothing wrong with changing your mind about something as new information comes to light, that is a sign of intelligence, unlike being stuck in your old ways. You should be applauding them for that.
Some of the older folks have been around long enough to know this. It might be wise to listen to them, and try to balance your views.
Many older folks saw the dirty air that existed in the metropolitan areas in 70's and are now saying thank god for the clean air act. It would be wise to listen to those folks.
