I'd just like to post on behalf of John Parks and say that the 3 keys to improving our global situation are sustainability, stewardship, and SOUND SCIENCE. Professor Parks defines sound science as anything that is not junk science.
on a more serious note, when you quote a statistic you take ownership of it. and the more i think about it i have agreed to and passed on some science that may have been motivated by a political agenda i.e. junk science, but i think that it is becoming harder and harder to convince and get the attention of readers/listeners. furthermore some issues are not receiving the attention they deserve. with that in mind...
Is it okay to bend the facts a little if, for example, they're global warming statistics or numbers on how much oil we use? especially what if that little manipulation will get people to pay attention and realize they need to change the way they consume?
