Threat or Hazard?

Mark Eby — 6/1/2001 4:57:41 AM (archived)

The hazard is not zero. I don't consider the potential hazard to be significant enough to be a "threat". Certainly not a potential global crisis. Unfortunately, whether he intends to or not, Zubrin does seem to be claiming zero hazard which does undermine his credibility on the issue. Why don't real expertss on epidemiology ever get interviewed on this issue?

Regards,
Mark
