But it may be a stretch to say this is someone trying to discredit global warming.
Science isn't broken. People claim what they see, sometimes they are wrong, sometimes they are right. But eventually we find out the truth.
Perverse: inexplicably irrational: contrary to what is regarded as normal or reasonable, often for reasons that seem unaccountable or self-defeating
Incentive: something that encourages somebody to action: something that encourages or motivates somebody to do something.
Please, all knowledgeable one, tell me where you learned of this definition of "perverse incentive" (one word?).
I understand the logic behind BIG. My problem with the _idea_, as it is, is that the idea ignores human nature. If you want to bring an idea to the table, at least be honest about it.
People will always want more, to achieve more. The "perverse" incentives exist simply because of that fact. If you cannot accept that, you should go live in the woods far away from people and be happy.
Life isn't fair, you do what you can to help those less fortunate around you. But, if you think for a second that some sort of "equal" pay will solve our worlds problems you are either ignorant or in denial of our human nature.
Actually, it makes perfect sense for the viewers - the networks are the ones that it inconveniences. People simply won't pay the increasingly high rates which are borderline ridiculous. You could get a nice used car for the same monthly payment of some of these internet/cable bundles.
