It is technically the Confederate "Battle Banner". Jus' sayin'.
I know. The point remains.
I started to read the comments on the ice shelf article but the stoopid burned so much I had to stop.
I am fond of humans, being one myself, but we totally deserve the effects of climate change. For a brief moment I had a hope that adult minds would back science. It was brief as greed for money and power overwhelmed anyone who could have made substantial change.
Connie: Don't forget that the fossil-fuel industry is spending millions on denialist propaganda to bamboozle the public. It's hard to blame people for being fooled when so much is being spent to do it. Also, as best I can tell, denialism is mostly confined to English-speaking countries, which are maybe 7% of humanity.
Substantive articles on the effects of global warming almost always attract a great number of denialist comments all rather similar in tone. Myself, I suspect paid threadjacking campaigns.
