Why has Congress done so little on climate change legistlation? It has nothing to do with science ... it is all about politics ... this is really sad to see.
For more on the bizarre debate in the hallowed halls of Congress read the critically acclaimed
To become a leading climate scientist ... you need to graduate with a Ph.D. ... and publish years of study in peer-reviewed papers.
To become a leading climate denier ... you need to know NOTHING ... and post garbage daily on social media.

I am angry ... angry that the fossil fuel industry has created climate change ... angry that they created one the greatest propaganda campaigns in history against the science of climate change ... anger against the oil apologists & climate deniers support their evil cause‼️
I am deeply insulted by anyone who suggests that President Trump can teach us anything that could benefit this country 🇨🇦, except what not to do. Ethics and morals are important to Canadians. If you like him so much, move south. -

Messages repeated over and over again are a technique for you to accept something and remember it.
When the messages are lies, it is called PROPAGANDA.
When the messages are the truth, it is called EDUCATION.

You DON'T need to be an expert to heed the advice of climate scientists on climate change. You DO need to be an expert to challenge their advice and conclusions. Yet, climate deniers seldom have any relevant qualifications or experience. Complex science is not for the unskilled.

Climate deniers, let's make it easy for you. The science of climate change CANNOT be discredited by a blog, meme or graph; it is not how science works. The only credible evidence is a peer-reviewed study. W/o that you just have a bad case of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

I find it very disturbing the increase in using hate-speech - "eco-terrorist" - to label climate activists, such as David Suzuki (85 yrs. old) and

This is a blatant desperate attempt to create "villains" by fossil fools.

I will never debate science with a climate deniers:
1. The science has already been debated in the peer-reviewed literature where it belongs.
2. Climate deniers have no credibility or qualifications.
3. Climate deniers don't care about the evidence, they just want to argue.
Do you like disaster movies? I mean really, really scary ones that seem real.
Then, this cli-fi is the one for you. It will leave you trembling at the end of it.
The problem is this movie, made by NASA, is REAL!
