[Strawbale] Strawbale Digest, Vol 1, Issue 10

[John Swearingen]

Iagree with you that there are "industry mouthpieces", but your post below
discredits all scientists who agree with industry--by association alone.
That's not particularly helpful.  We should keep this to the actual facts,
or "Mom" is gonna pull the plug on the whole rant.

     Industry has "scientists-for-hire" mouthpieces who continue to grind
out 
this kind of misinformation.    However, serious, ethical researchers are in

absolute agreement that EMF/EMR has definite and deleterious effects on
living 
organisms.    We are not talking about a handful of studies, either, but 
thousands of studies.
     Remember when cigarettes were advertised in medical journals?   And 
there was supposed no conclusive evidence that they were harmful?   How
about 
asbestos?    
     Before you spread misinformation about this, I suggest you spend some 
time reading the actual research.    You can start at: 
www.lifeenergies.com/pollution/hemef/emfip1-04.htm/,  and 
http://www.emfguru.org/EMF/genotoxic/Genotoxic-EMR-paper.htm/.   The latter
is an astounding paper by Dr. Neil Cherry that 
has about 120 references attached.   
     I'd like to hear about your point of view after you've done this 
reading.

     Last night my husband and I sat out on wooden benches under the trees
at 
the Aldo Leopold Foundation Shack near Baraboo, WI and listened to Dr. 
Jonathan Foley, Director of the Center for Sustainability and the Global 
Environmentat the UW-Madison, talk about global environmental disruption.
One of the 
points he made is that genuine, ethical scientists were in 99% agreement
TWENTY 
YEARS AGO about the fact that global warming was a real and very serious
issue 
.   And now they are in 100% agreement.   Yet, industry's hired
"mouthpieces" 
keep churning out misinformation, with the result that 25% of Americans 
disbelieve to this day that global warming is occurring.

     Dr. Foley talked of a "tipping point," and whether we have reached it 
already.   For the Artic and the world's coral reefs, we are likely waking
up 
too late to make a difference.   Borneo is toast.   ....   Wouldn't it be
wise 
to pay attention when the canaries start dropping over, rather than going
into 
denial and insisting that there is no conclusive proof?
