One of my favorite podcasts is The John Batchelor Show. He interviews non-fiction writers on a wide variety of topics. The following podcast was from a few days ago and I found it particularly interesting regarding the social dynamics and use of resources as humanity continues to be more and more urbanized.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

Activists Can Be Science Deniers
"Environmentalists hoping to have a “smoking gun” for a health effect due
to the hydraulic fracturing – fracking – process in obtaining fossil
fuels were disappointed that a three-year investigation yielded nothing."
" - - - unlike the University of Cincinnati, we separate health threats from health scares, we don’t bury studies that exonerate science and technology from blame."

Do human bodies carry more toxins now than 50 years ago?
"Existing laws protect us from many known contaminants, assuming these
laws are properly enforced. For many other contaminants, scientific
consensus needs to be pushed into regulations, without the prerequisite
of a national headline disaster."
It could be that we are not any more contaminated than we were decades before.

What It Will Really Take To End Cancer
" - - - we must reduce exposure to known carcinogens through aggressive
environmental regulation at the city, state and federal level.
Furthermore, we must work collaboratively across all policy sectors to
improve economic stability, education, infrastructure and access to
affordable, quality health care that largely define who develops cancer,
who receives treatment and who survives."
Commit attention and resources to addressing the underlying social and environmental causes of this insidious disease.

Humanity Can Do It, If It Wants To
Some (and I am one) think that this is not an option, but an imperative.
