You'll have to explain how economic growth numbers are differentiated from the various sources of dollars then... I'm fine with the concept... but if you explained how this works it would be helpful.

Again, it doesn't. Illegal activity is still economic activity.>

This was a small part of the point... but you'll have to explain how growth numbers we see on TV capture the date Larry Craig had in the Minneapolis airport (assuming he paid for it).

<Not about economic activity generally, or the world as a whole. >

No one said anything about "generally" or "world as a whole". The economy "generally" and the "world as a whole" are the summation of the parts... here a couple of "cliffs" that people didn't see coming for quite a while:

en.wikipedia.org

or



your "dodge" implying that this phenomenon isn't important because the the entire economy or world didn't turn toxic is exactly why anyone with a lick of scientific sense ignore those with this dopey line of reasoning. To use the same analogy as before ignoring these things are like ignoring that toxic crap because it didn't kill the patient. LOL

<People can argue just about anything, but my statement is correct.>

I wouldn't know... but the fact that you THINK you know is probably the major problem... there are others that are just as positive the other way... I tend to "fade" anyone who thinks they know the truth of these things... to me they tend to be blind dogmatists... and seeing you've exhibited the same on other topics, as I've noted, I'm not likely to think you know shit from Shinola on this topic either. Just FYI:

en.wikipedia.org

<Making statements for me for you to reply to that I never made.>

Oh, sorry... so you admit there HAS been environmental harm??
