I'm surprised they said that climate change is actually more good than bad.Because for years all they have been saying is the negative effects of it.They also say that the warming would be beneficial to Earth.

"To be precise, Prof Tol calculated that climate change would be beneficial up to 2.2˚C of warming from 2009 (when he wrote his paper). This means approximately 3˚C from pre-industrial levels, since about 0.8˚C of warming has happened in the last 150 years. The latest estimates of climate sensitivity suggest that such temperatures may not be reached till the end of the century — if at all. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, whose reports define the consensis, is sticking to older assumptions, however, which would mean net benefits till about 2080. Either way, it’s a long way off."

A man wrote a book on it and reviewed previous years of climate change.Stating that it changed raised the human and planetary welfare.Calculating 1.4 per cent of global economic output.The world growing a 3% each year.Which is fairly low.Considering how many people there are in the world.

I don't really think Oreos are as addictive as cocaine.Because in my opion Oreos are good but they are not to the point where i just can't stop eating.My only addiction though is Honey Buns i can't get enough of them.Oreo's probably are America's favorite cookie,or Milk's favorite cookie.Eventually everyone will stop eating Oreo's pertaining to the high obesity rate and how supposedly addictive they are.They tested it on rat's so that is a whole other difference than humans are.Wer have different functions than they do,and different diets.
"Researchers tested rats' affinity for the chocolatey sandwich cookie in several lab experiments. Co-author Jamie Honohan explained that Oreos were chosen not only for their taste, but because they have high amounts of fat and sugar and are marketed heavily in areas where people tend to have lower socioeconomic status and higher obesity rates.
Why would you give cocaine to rat's.I am still not grasping that.Do scientists have nothing better to do.They should be finding a cure for Cancer because it is the number one killer in the whole world.But i do understand obesity rates have been going up the last couple of years.And they are worried about our health.Cancer is more important than obesity in my eyes.
