You heard me. We have estimates of the carbon footprint of eating a cheesburger, so let’s figure out how much the drug industry harms the environment. I’m sure someone’s done research on this (and if not, I’ll believe even more in the liberal bias in academia and research). Sure, it might be more urgent to figure out how much the drug industry harms human rights, or political progress, or government corruption, etc., but it would sure be interesting to know how much global warming is being influenced by the drug trade.
Does anyone know?
