The falsehood that the earth was flat was only one of many attempts to thwart the progress of truth and freedom. The potentially fraudulent and dangerous claims and practices that distort the scientific facts about pollution, energy conservation, global warming, homosexuality, contraception, reproductive rights, gender, and racial and ethnic differences have escalated to dangerous proportions. Political discord and violence throughout the world in relation to these topics has dangerously intensified in recent times. The first step towards healing is the admission of truth; our planet is sick! Wildlife on land and in the sea is disappearing rapidly. Only awareness and education about the pseudoscience promoted by oil companies and corporate greed can help mobilize a world paralyzed by fear and apathy. Pseudoscience is indeed our planet’s greatest enemy.
