Reply to comment by Necoras in This “Climate-Friendly” Fuel Comes With an Astronomical Cancer Risk: Almost half of products cleared so far under the new federal biofuels program are not in fact biofuels — and the EPA acknowledges that the plastic-based ones may present an “unreasonable risk” to human health or the environment. by nastratin

Only problem is that it's also stupidly dangerous, especially in a confined area with a lot of people like a plane

2nd attempt to answer: Physical work will produce testosterone, also consider those in field that require physical activity may be subjected to random drug screenings, which may deter the likelihood of sperm reducing illicit drug use.

Are you saying that facetiously? Because a world without air travel would be exhausting to get anywhere in. How does air travel get removed without posing an extreme burden to society and the economy?

I’m talking about all the fun physical play and sports that’ll push your stamina to the limit and make your joints and muscles ache. Just a suggestion, you don’t want to be the weak old dad when your kids want to run, wrestle and climb with you.

You know we used to put lead into gasoline to make it more efficient. We stopped doing that because we found that it was a bad idea. Why can't we as a species just learn to not poison ourselves?

Exxon knows climate change is real, they've just fought anyone else believing it.

And your implied claim that all climate scientists worldwide are paid for by gas corporations is pretty silly. If you pay any attention to climate science at all, it's obvious that climate change denial is only among the very small fraction of people who claim to be scientists and are directly funded by oil companies. All other climate scientists worldwide are independently agreeing on what's just obviously true given the evidence they've collected.

It's pretty obvious that government agencies are being pushed to make things "green". This is the result, it looks green at a glance so it's a win, right? Much like the ethanol in gas, it sounds great but it doesn't do anything to combat CO2 emissions and may actually make them worse.
