…. to get millions of Americans to deny the reality of proven science. I am 2 miles from the
Ohio State University’s institute of polar studies (Lonnie Thompson) that doesn’t have one or
two data points that confirm global warming and man’s influence on it by the burning of fossil fuels
fuels but literally millions of data points in ice cores that go back 400,000 years but I have seen
and heard people get very upset and deny reality because they have been brainwashed with bull
shit. I stopped going to a nice little local pub (great Italian subs) because the owner is an in your
face Trumper and climate change denier who got in your face about it.
