Jacobson's retraction of his fifty year-old statements also shows how the
topic of evolution is often linked to the origin of life when they are in
fact two different discussions. It seems to be a creationist tactic to
position them as the same.

effects of greenhouse gases being unable to escape our atmosphere?
It seems that everyone talks about the effects of greenhouse gases, but where
are the references?

Environmental problems are caused by: 1) human

The problems caused by these factors are problems of

sustainable level), and
