While his heart appeared to be in the right place, Seekyt contributor BradYoung04's brain apparently wasn't. In his "Environmentalism - Keeping A Track [sic] Of Carbon Emissions In Industry"¹ (just what does "keeping a track" mean, anyway?), Young "revealed" that
"Hydrocarbons... are used in the extraction of oil and gas and alter the natural soil environment so that it is no longer balanced chemically, and therefore not fertile for organic matter..." |
Let's leave aside for now the utter emptiness of a statement like "[they] alter the natural soil environment so that it is no longer balanced chemically," which sounds like those dire chain emails warning us of the many dangers of dihydrogen monoxide¹. Instead, let's look at "hydrocarbons are used in the extraction of oil and gas." Did BradYoung04 not realize that oil and gas are the hydrocarbons of which he speaks? Another damned scientific illiterate, another Dumbass of the Day.
