Answer to Question 1

The weight of evidenceand the gravity of the consequencesbecame too clear
to ignore. The known alternate hypotheses were shown to be incorrect. This is, of course,
not one hundred percent conclusive because there may have been an alternative model that
people were unable to conceive of. However, the danger of continued emissions was too
