Since I have not posted here in years, I thought that I would do so today.  I wanted to see if this thing still worked and it looks like it does.  Although global warming is real, there are still many people who are convinced that it is not, or that there isn't a consensus on the issue when there is.  The propaganda campaign by the Koch Brothers' numerous "Think" tanks has been very successful in this issue.  Of course, why would oil barons want people to think that we needed to put less carbon into the atmosphere?  Anthropogenic (man-made) climate change is a real thing.  Yes, trying to mitigate the effects will require governments around the world to join in a global effort in ways they have never done before.  Feel free to comment and link scientific studies, talk about how wonderful the Keystone XL pipeline is and whatever else you feel like saying.
