If you want to convince people, show them that you think they are intelligent. Treating people as if they are too stupid to know there is 2 sides to every story is not going to win you any favours. Your aim is not to sway people who already believe as you do, your aim is to sway the people who dont.
If you had shown accurate unbiased information showing both sides of the story you may have held my attention. Many countries are working tirelessly to find a balance between industry and environment. Its time people showed that.
