- Some of you seem to be living in an alternate universe. In reality of course it's basically the opposite of what IRNlun6 said above -- the scientists are theyuekit
- ones raising the alarm about how urgent and dire the situation is. While the politicians, even leftie ones who claim to care about environmental issues,yuekit

- The sad truth here is that a mentally disabled teenage girl has a far better understanding of this issue than the guy some of you support for President.yuekit
- A ball of yarn has better grasp of the issues than dtGnash
