Also - we tried science with the much more impactful issue of climate and people opted out. It's about the "feels" now, so the neo-cons who undermined it are barred from using it in this subject.
This means you.
It seems to me that what some of us denied wasn't so much science as basic arithmetic. Because we can count.
I think an opinion piece I read in the Sun put it best.
We hear the Liberal fable practically every day from Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, in the claim the Liberals’ carbon tax/plan will work and that it would matter if it did.
No credible body — not the federal environmental commissioner, not nine of 10 provincial auditors general, not the United Nations, not the federal government’s own studies — endorses the view Canada is going to meet the greenhouse gas reduction targets Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed to in the Paris accord in 2015.
Not for 2020 — which has already been abandoned as unrealistic — and not for 2030.
We’re not going to miss our targets by a little. We’re going to miss them by a country mile, particularly under the latest UN targets, which are far more stringent than the already unattainable ones Trudeau agreed to in 2015, which used to be the Harper government’s targets.
Even if we miraculously hit our unattainable targets, our contribution is insignificant given that we’re responsible for 1.6% of industrial greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change.https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/goldstein-federal-liberal-and-tory-climate-plans-are-fantasySo I don't oppose the Liberal plan because I deny climate science, I oppose it because it's incredibly stupid and pointless and won't work.
Same reason I oppose this trans
****, beyond the respect we'd give anyone to live their own life as they choose without harassment. But stupid ass ideas like letting men who claim to be women compete in sports events against women, or letting them force their way into womens or little girls showers or into womens prisons is moronic idiocy.
