Yep, those scientist don't know what they are talking about, Al Gore does,
after all he invented the internet. Nothing like trying to shift the wealth
of the world and making money doing it by selling global offsets and taxing
the shit out of stupid people with a lie! The Bush's, the Clinton's, and
the Gore's are all Trilateralists, they have done a fine job of lowering
the standard of living here in the USA! Long live the CFR, the world banks
and man made Global warming.

By the way, if you buy the man made global warming lie, I got some swamp
land I'd like to sell you!
