"Because it makes you "Feel Good" doesn't make it true!"

Couldn't agree more, but what makes people feel good varies by individual.

H.L. Mencken's philosophy with regards to human nature was that "it is in the nature of the human species to reject what is true but unpleasant and to embrace what is obviously false but comforting".

Some would say that the belief that there is no global climate issue and that we have sufficient resources to drill/dig our way out of the current crisis fits that basic philosophy.

Another little quote from Aldous Huxley;
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored".
Obviously that one can work well for either camp.

Both those were taken from the Al Bartlett lecture I referred to some while ago. Well worth viewing, irrespective of which side of the fence you sit.
