@HoraceGreenley I don't understand.The brainwashed sheep meant the stupid people who believe in the climate change scam.I wasn't talking about you.We agree on this subject!

@HoraceGreenley Well,I don't know about being "da man",but it's good we cleared that up!

@DavidT8899 being da man is a good thing.
I'm glad to see a smart kid.
Don't accept the bullshit they feed in schools

@HoraceGreenley I know it is;I just don't presume to be worthy.And yes,they DO sling a lot of B.S in the school system .I'm lucky to have some good influences,and I suppose I do have common sense.

@HoraceGreenley Don't I know it!But if you are strong -willed,it is possible to see the truth.

It does make me sad to think about what is being done. Not everyone can resist

@HoraceGreenley Most of my generation can't.But there are a few of us that can see clearly-the lucky ones.

@DavidT8899 Talk to the others and don't back down
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
@HoraceGreenley I do and I won't.Sometimes,I admit it's like that 1970s' remake of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.In order to get buy,you have to pretend that you're one of the enslaved lemmings.

@DavidT8899 You make a good point and given today's society I can see why that is necessary.
Remember, always do that if it gets you laid.

@HoraceGreenley Ha!I'll try to remember that;But in the interests of full disclosure,I have to admit that I don't believe in intercourse for someone my age-it creates complications and can have VERY unwelcome reprocussions .

OK. I can respect that.

@HoraceGreenley Don't get me wrong,Im not judging those my age who do engage in that.Hey,I'm no one's boss or keeper.And hey,I like girls as much as the next guy.But going that far just isn't the right thing for me right now.As I said,too much complication.

Equally fair question: where does the money for climate denial come from? The US oil industry makes about $110 billion per year; coal another $20 billion. Big Oil spends $3.6 billion per year on advertising; a sum equal to about 8X the whole NSF climate budget. You're not naive enough to believe none of that money goes to propaganda, are you?

Yeah, Where does the money for climate research come from? Fair question - it comes mostly from the National Science Foundation; about $450 million per year.Equally fair question: where does the money for climate denial come from?

@ElwoodBlues There are many people that make a lot of money off of "Climate Change." Al "I invented the Internet" Gore is a good example.
Legislation also provides an easy conduit for politicians to grab more power.
