A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

I too was subjected to this email...

At first I didn't even know why, but then I realized about a year ago I bought an Ubisoft game and immediately began flagellating myself.

Still flagellating...
