For repeatedly berating anyone else who doesn't have a PhD in (chemistry/biology/climatology...) while attaining only a BS in biology;
for mercilessly exposing rock stars' hypocrisy as though you first figured it out, when this very site discusses it ad nauseum;
for tirelessly shilling a few scientists' discordant findings in the face of a preponderance of evidence;
for never actually commenting on the content of articles, but rather using headlines and pictures as an excuse to post a pithy one-liner, followed by a questionable source (e.g. a wikipedia "article" you created yourself);
and, finally, for acting completely out of sorts when people call you a troll, while you know perfectly well what a troll is and seem to enjoy the attention it gets you,

I give you this award. It's a response. It took me a few minutes to write it. I don't know why I felt compelled to write it, but there you go. Troll away.

I was forwarded an email regarding the mercury content of compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL's).

The story indicates that CFL's contain mercury and that this type of lightbulb, although more efficient, will actually put more pollutants in our landfills that standard lightbulbs.

Is there truth to this?
If so, what alternate solutions are there?

Thanks,
Cathy
