Once again, you divert the subject. It doesn't matter where the view you disagree with comes from. What matters is the content of what they say.

The NHS breaks down these kinds of stories quite well: https://www.nhs.uk/news/heart-and-lu...link-unproven/

But in the end it is further scientific research that has (slightly) change how people view saturated fats. They also told you that smoking is bad, asbestos is bad and red meat can be bad. Do you suggest we ignore that too in case it's later revised? All we can do is go on the best information we have until such a time as we learn more. (Although I still eat red meat I just don't resent scientists for informing me of the health impact, ditto alcohol).
I'm not saying we should ignore anything. I am simply saying that you shouldn't suck up everything you hear without engaging your brain, no matter who says it.

As far as the butter thing is concerned, no need for you to do a cover-up on behalf of others. The scientists have already admitted they were wrong.

Whatever happened to the day when scientists had to prove their theories before getting their pronouncements confirmed?

Meanwhile, back on topic, people claim that it is unfair to protest against the UK's climate change record. What they forget is the historical carbon debt from the first world countries since the 1700's.

Of course, the best way of making progress on a global scale is when countries get together and agree common standards and plans. They also are able to push through more reform from countries like China, Russia when their collective trading & political clout is larger. Good job we are part of the EU .. ah, no .. wait ...
What exactly is the point of protesting about what people were doing over 300 years ago? The protesters cannot change their actions now, can they?

The protesters would do better to protest at countries that are big polluters and not doing enough to reduce their emissions.
