Are we not witnessing the most momentous failure of reason and common sense in our lifetime? Experts the world over appear to be conspicuously refusing to speak about "the whole" of what they know to be true with regard to the proverbial mother of human-driven threats to human wellbeing and environmental health. Almost everyone I respect seems to be unready, unwilling and unable to think critically, examine objectively and speak truthfully about this single topic.
