Your comments about this article:
There seems to be a concerted effort, to also drown out the seeming scam the great political entities, the media, and a group of so called 'scientists' in England have perpetrated upon the world.
Pushing what by the incident of discovery of a scam, shows as a lie, and not covering the (NOW PROBABLE TRUE) outing of the scam would imply collusion.
Now, many reputable scientists acknowledge the scam seems true. The same scientists mentioned as 'the bad guys' so to speak, by the scammers.
The scammers plead that they have been harmed, as opposed to their trying to deliberately harm the world, and throw it (with the cooperation of the owners of the scammers) into world dictatorship and real climate disaster.
Nice to know, if there are sides, which one who is on...
And we are going to let the UN police the efforts they who can not even stop Iran from developing Nuclear weapons, what will one of those do to the carbon emissions?
Something very wrong is going on here, and it amounts to treasonable behavior on many of those involved. And Still the lie is believed
