Consideration of Abiotic Natural Resources in Life Cycle Assessments
On a global scale, there is a lot of talk about fake news at the moment. The perfidious thing is that even scientific theories with a high level of empirical evidence and methodically demanding proof of evidence are suddenly presented to the public as arbitrary. Climate change caused by greenhouse gases emitted by humans is one such example. However, scientific theories cannot be voted on democ…
