To anyone that has been keeping track of the current Republican administration, this will come as no shock. Remember kiddies, global warming doesn't exist as long as we don't believe in it. :thumbsup:

I think this is from George Orwell's book, 1984. It's doublethink. Just think of something else or convince yourself it's not true and it won't be.

Hmmm...what would the world rather have, a little bit of economic progress now or the continuation of a planet that's habitable for human beings for generations to come? That's a tough one.

Chances are, none of us little people would benefit from the economic progress anyway.
