    It is you that missed the point.

    We used Asbestos for decades as we couldn’t quantify or prove the risks. Thousands got cancer and died because we waited for more evidence. Even when we had doubts.

    The Precautionary Principle exists… “The precautionary principle (or precautionary approach) is a broad epistemological, philosophical and legal approach to innovations with potential for causing harm when extensive scientific knowledge on the matter is lacking. It emphasizes caution, pausing and review before leaping into new innovations that may prove disastrous.”.

    Your let’s wait for proof is straight out the playbook of corporate lobbyists. A delay and profit strategy. If anything is unscientific. It’s your, we have no conclusive proof so let’s keep flying to the sun and see what happens. I value health over profit though. I guess that might be where we differ.
