The links below take you to more posts on badastronomy.com written by Dr. Phil Plait who is an astronomer and a skeptic of all things that aren't scientifically provable.

Why is this an environmental issue? Why is it posted on an environmental blog? Because it is hard enough to convince certain people that environmental issues are real, even when faced with literal mountains of evidence, think global warming.

That is scary stuff. This issue is simply too important to ignore.
