  • Was this in 2011? Show these hacks the Climate gate emails from 2009. Show them planning to shut down scientists with cut off funds and threats of death, and the plans of imposition of the global carbon tax, and the fact that other planet's polar caps have been expanding and shrinking in tandem with ours.

    When you see so called 'scientists' planning scientific fraud which Alex Jones compared to the Piltdown Man, it would be insane to keep propping up a pinata filled with lies and deceit.

  • every single person I know that believes in the global warming hysteria is, at the very least, a regular pot user. The stronger their, the greater their usage. Is there something in THC that causes hot flashes, or something similar?

  • So, finding a biodegradable fuel/emission that isn't currently being produced is not convenient to the multinationals, so they'd try to bribe politicians in OTHER countries to buy their oil. Fair enough. Funnily, however, you're bribed BY the multinationals to do the very same thing and you preach could-Be's about the economy. Why does everyone think the economy is more important than the ENVIRONMENT keeping their stupid-asses alive? We really are fucked.

  • These merged Jack Nicholson quotes can be readily applied to James Inhofe:

    "You don't know what you're talking about, you dumb Okie. You can't handle the truth!"

  • I doubt the word "alarmists" would be used if scientists predicted a major asteroid strike in coming decades, and asked for government funding to prevent it (i.e. a space mission). Republicans would probably say "go for it!"

    The difference between an asteroid and AGW warnings is that the latter is blamed directly on PEOPLE and the former is not. Global warming denial is mostly an economic and religious ego trip. Don't ever tell the Chosen Ones their behavior poses a threat, or they'll get mad.

  • Hmm, I wonder how much campaign money he gets from oil companies? In the 2007-2012 election cycle Mr. Inholfe's top 3 contributors were as follows: Koch Industries (oil) $45,000, Murray Energy $31,000, Devon Energy $23,000...enough said.

  • my God!!! it's James May's brother!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Inhofe loses.

  • I can smell big petroleum and big corporations from a mile away...

  • ...so yes, Meteorologists ARE scientists and they study the atmosphere and the weather.

  • To become a meteorologist, you'll need at least a bachelor's degree.

  • Just for laughts. Does anyone know when the highest tax rate was in U.S.A history? FDR's time. 90% on top earners. You tell me. HOW THE FUCK is tax rate in Clinton's ear was largest "historically" in U.S.A's history?

    DUMBASS TO THE MAX.

  • That fucking girl.

    "WHY DO YOU HATE ME, WHY ARE YOU CONDEMNING ME TO DEATH, YOU HATE ME AND ALL OF MY GENERATION?!!"

    Always with the appeal to emotion.

  • We heard all these arguments back in the 60's and 70's. Skeptics refused to believe that nicotine was addictive and harmful. There was too much "conflicting" scientific evidence ... that was paid for ... fuck-tards all.

  • @charrisgw1

    You lie. no one said that nicotine was not addictive or not harmful. Keep dreaming.

  • @aquartlow Yes, sounds incredible doesn't it? Yet quite true and much more recent than the 70's, and not only the same tactics, its the same people and lobby groups. You may google the name Fred Singer, or Google for the documentary by the fifth estate called the denial machine, or read a book by naomi oreskes called the merchants of doubt. Im afraid its quite well documented.

  • @lemongrass2007 ..

    keep watching.......Singer is right. Spenser is right. Bob Carter has totally debunked you fools. Keep watching.....Jones and Mann are both in hiding.

    You guys live in denial. Tragic. But fun. I read the raw emails from Jones. I have seen the pics of the ground stations. This is going to blow up so big and I am going to love it.

    cheers

  • @aquartlow The deniers are always hailing some skeptic scientist as the next Einstein or Galileo. Senator Inhofe receives agreat number of donations from energy companies, and sits on a Subcommittee on Clean Air, Climate Change, and Nuclear Safety, tries to discredit climate scientists who believe in AGW . Its pretty disgusting, and a shame to see what was once a great nation become the corporatocracy it is now.

  • @aquartlow You're going to need to scurry and find a way to deny the BEST stations now. 39,000 unique stations to deny. That will take even more idiocy, so you better get ready.

  • FAIL! libetard

  • @rukiddingmeNJ

    Question: Was your comment making fun of liberals or libertarians? It's kind of hard to tell.

  • @rukiddingmeNJ

    More nonsensical replies from you. Thanks. That helped clear it up. I didn't realize I was talking to someone with down-syndrome.

  • @itcanbecheezcaketimeTypical liberal response to attack with insults when being presented with logic and fact like the guy in the video. keep up the predictable good work there my latte drinking friend

  • @rukiddingmeNJ

    Wow, now you sound even more stupid. I am a conservative libertarian -- the furthest thing from a liberal. You're a genius, you know that? Remove your shoe from your foot and beat yourself over the head with it. You really need it.

  • Look at TONS `O FUN With the camera. You look like 400 pounds of BIRDSHIT. Get a hold of yourself!

  • @Ralastar

    That's rich. He's fat, but you're an asshole. Which one is worse on society?

  • @itcanbecheezcaketime Me! I am fat too.

  • @itcanbecheezcaketime So how's it going, brah? Fag, much?

  • @Ralastar

    Lol! You're still sending me messages? I haven't replied once and you're desperate for my attention. Well, now you got it "brah". Am I a fag? Only with you on the weekends, sugar. Hope you're enjoying the herpes.

  • @itcanbecheezcaketime You mad, brah? Yeah, I often enjoy my herpes. Especially when they break open. So next weekend we should fag it up.

  • He kept his cool a lot better than Dave Obey did when he was confronted by Iraq war protesters...which is still one of my favorite videos. Look it up.

  • He is probably the dumbest senator in office.

  • Senator Inhofe does what deniers always do when confronted by the statistic of overwhelming backing by the climate scientists that AGW is basically along the lines the IPCC have outlined. He switches to talking about how to deal with the problem, which I agree is very complicated and difficult. But quite different from claiming there is big debate if AGW is real. They lie, use media, genuflect to corporate interests, mislead, cherry pick and use character assassination.

  • @lemongrass2007

    AGW is not backed overwhelmingly by the climate scientists. Jones got exposed by his emails and Mann's hockey stick has been debunked. You can feed the London phone book into the computer and you will always get a hockey stick. Sorry, but your AGW scam is coming apart at the seams. NASA has been fighting a FOIA for a looooooooong time. Why? Jones tells us not to believe our own eyes. Mann gets his own department heads to "investigate" him. Surprise! Innocent!!!!

  • @aquartlow AGW is not even being argued by the skeptical scientists. Senator Inhofe name drops Richard Linzden. Search youtube for him and debate 2 of 10, and skip to the 1 min mark. The skeptics of IPCC projects, which are very few argue the extent of AGW, not if it is real. Your position is just right wing disinformation pumped out by the well funded think tanks and Fox news. I suggest you may start what skeptical (respected) scientists are saying.

  • @lemongrass2007

    same old same old leftist mantra.........your experts are noble and right and skeptical experts are "owned" by BIG [fill in the blank]. Prof Linzden is just another nobody you need to ignore.

    You are promoting leftwing disinformation, but soon your red world will shatter.

    Pay attention to the news. Kyoto went down in flames and the rest of the AGW fantasy will too. It's not if but when.

    Inhofe has his facts in order and he terrifies you. I like that.

  • Comment removed

  • @lemongrass2007

    the humilation of Jones and Mann must send you into paroxysms of painful denial. Hey, that makes you a denier! The Hockey Stick has been totally debunked and Jones had his inhouse whitewash, but stonewalling and destroying upsetting data has become the norm among the warmist deniers.

    cheers

  • @lemongrass2007

    How many of the signers of the IPCC Summary had to threaten legal action to get their names removed from a false document?

    \

    I know, I know.........deny it.

  • During the middle ages, they had an era with higher temperatures than todays. The reason is that the sun affects earth temperature. So sometimes earth is hotter, sometimes is colder.

    Search climategate and how wikipedia tried to eliminate that fact from their pages.

    If is not the sun, could anyone explain why mars polar caps are melting? Or are we also responsible for that?

  • A sorry excuse for a legislator; a proponent for "paralysis by analysis."

  • Sadly Inhofe is just another victim of the anti-science denialist campaign started by the fossil fuel industry, who themselves now admit the truth. Inhofe is woefully inadequate to be in a position of determining public policy.

  • I got rid of my polluting car eleven years ago. But still have to breath automobile air pollution day after day. Still incessantly distracted by stupid automobile noise pollution, day after day. Asphalt suffocation, concrete suffocation, dashboard hypnosis, gasoline psychosis... It's a diagnosis. Puppets of the automobile / oil / asphalt / concrete / construction industry cartels, free yourselves. CarFree . com -- EcoCityBuilders . org. Puppets of the ego manipulation industry, free yourselves.

  • The global warming fear mongers never stop do they? They wont be satisfied until we are living in huts. Why does al gore live in a multimillion dollar mansion in cali? Why does he drive in a limo? fly in private jet? All of these elitist scum tells us we should live a certain life style, yet they do not. Non of these movie stars or rock stars live in a shanty, they don't deny themselves of the luxuries of life. But they have no problems with dictating our lives. FUCK THEM!!!!!!!!!

  • Scree you Inhofe.

  • There's the future talking point for the cranks. Our omissions are so small because we off shored it to China and India so go bother them.

  • Pwned.

  • lol, they actually think China's going to give 2 shits about reducing their 'emissions'.

  • Look at that jerk squirm. We hate this liar in Oklahoma. The only reason he is there is because big oil and coal pay him millions. It does not hurt that he is an idiot that good in a suit. Qualification for Oklahoma senator- idiot look good in suit.

  • This worthless lackey idiot should be forced to go and look the family members in the eyes and tell them their loved ones are dead because this jerk said there was no truth to scientist predictions. He is a coward baby killing liar.

  • Pity the man who sells off his Grandchildren's future.

  • Inhofe actually handled that pretty well how many politicians would of gave these people the time of day.What was their motive? they already know his position on the Issue. The young ladies were clearly out classed by the career politician which made them look even worst.

  • Thank goodness I escaped my liberal brainwashing. It's painful to listen to those that haven't. If these AWG fanatics would just put down their 'science' for a minute and look at what the regulations and laws that are proposed to save humanity, they would quickly have some doubts in continuing in the cult. AWG has severely undermined the real environmental problems we can already PROVE, even before Fukashima. Being wrong can be very hard to swallow...

  • Lol...I guess it depends on which side of the spectrum you're on to declare a winner. I thought both sides were pretty weak. Btw...I am a Leeeberal and a proud AGW denier.

  • Inhofe's attacks aren't about global warming at all. He is simply disagreeing with the taxing and regulation issues involved with combating global warming. Simply put, to him this isn't about climate changes and environmental problems, its about economic concerns that will result from fixing environmental problems. Inhofe's a politician, not a scientist. This is just another desperate con$ervative attempt at rejecting the facts of science, it'll die out within the next 50 or so years.

  • Imhofe is on the payroll of the Koch brothers.

  • Crap, I found the missing links!

  • The IPCC has only 2,500 experts on global warming. Less than 1% are Climatologists. The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists! Al Gore is not a Climatologist. 31,486 scientists, including 9,029 with PhDs, plus 650 of the worlds leading Climatologists are all against global warming. 32,136 against global warming, 2,500 for global warming. There has never been a "consensus" in science. Anthropogenic (Man caused) global warming does not exist, because it is a media generated myth!

  • Ronald Reagan would weep to see the kind of inanity that has taken over his party. Google climateconservative org Inhofe's remarks about regulation of US emissions not mattering "because jobs/emissions would simply move abroad" are absolutely infantile: why does he think that we've been working for an international agreement? Fighting on this agenda will not serve conservatives well in the long run. Nature does not care how big your megaphone is, or how many hateful yt comments you posted.

  • Wow. The global warming people were such dicks I actually found myself cheering a republican who isn't ron paul.

  • @annglamgal Give me the names of 700 international scientists that have apparently dissented over global warming. Cos i can give you Many more who agree with the fact of global warming. O and weather men dont count. Has to be scientists with proper credentials.

  • I applaud Senator Inhofe in keeping his cool during this confrontation by these activitsts, and loved his response about an apology

    As for the AGW hoax, one way to reverse it IF it were indeed fact would not be acceptable I should think

    Google or otherwise-

    Small Nuclear War Could Reverse Global Warming for Years

  • This is interesting ...

    ipsosmrbi. com/ipsos-mrbi-trust-poll.html

    "Conducted in September 2010, the latest Ipsos MRBI Trust Poll shows Doctors, Professors, Teachers, Judges and SCIENTISTS to be the most trusted in our society."

    While 84% of the respondents trust scientists to tell the truth, only 17% trust politicians to tell the truth.

  • The young lady who ostensibly was speaking out of concern "for all young people" (and probably believes that she is) asks why Sen. Inhofe is willing to allow her generation to suffer just because he doesn't like what he hears. It's precisely this pretense to believe that those who don't agree with the global warming diagnosis, or with the proposed cure, don't have the public's best interests at heart that makes these "activists" look so arrogant.

  • 66,572 HITS !!!

  • Oh it's funny that you posted a reply on this video to a comment I made on the edited version on a different page.

  • ''Once the Arctic gets warm enough permafrost will release so much carbon and methane it will tip us into uncontrollable heating of the planet a new study finds. That tipping or starting point is 15 to 20 years off they think. .... it may begin even sooner sorry to say. It means our fossil fuel use has to decline within the next 10 years or so otherwise the next and future generations will be stuck with a radically-altered climate. ''

  • As a conservative who has no love for Al Gore and who has never (yet) voted for a Democrat, I am saddened to see conservatives hitch their fortunes to the star of climate denial. The science is against them. Recent NASA and NOAA reports: 2010 the hottest year on record, the last decade the hottest on record, and the 12 hottest years on record have been since 1997. Sounds like a trend. Check out Republicans for Environmental Protection.

  • @smcnallen Trust me, you're not fooling anyone, and you can claim to be conservative all you want. It doesn't change the fact that you're a flaming lib.

  • 61,700 now ....who are all these people here?

  • Mark Hertsgaard explained his Politico gaffe today on Huffing Post blog online now in which he says: ..... "I did make

    one mistake. In the haste of introducing myself to Inhofe, I misspoke

    by saying I was "with Politico." I had intended to say I "write for

    Politico," which I had done just that morning in the form of the

    above-mentioned opinion article. My words came out wrong, which I

    regret. But I refuse to allow this small slip of the tongue to

    distract from the larger issue ..."

  • These children have been fed such crap. They have no idea how life truly is and that their elitist education is a socialist worldview. Go see "The Killing Fields" and see how the Kamir Rouge used young people and their ignorance and lack of wisdom, to pull off a genocide of titanic scale.

  • 59,000 + now, up 9000 hits from just 24 hours ago......who is coming here and why?

    -- if here, see my "Virtual graduation speech to the class of 2099" here on youtube search window, about tightening the noose around coal and oil....

  • See the silly smirk on those immature liberals faces. No matter what Inhofe says they will never believe him but they believe Chicken Little when it says the sky is falling.

  • More proof of how LIBERALS lie to try to fuck over America. Or are they just STUPID lemmings?

  • Psycho greenies falling in a heap. And what's with the bimbo hand-puppets (sorry, muppets)?

  • LibTards "think" they're so smart.

  • Like oil and water, facts don't mix with libtards like these clowns.

    

  • This Senator Rocks Hard!

  • This dude rocks hard!

  • Bill Allen in Basking Ridge NJ tells me this today re Mark's very good book and Cap Hill actions - ''The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world it leaves to its children.” quoting Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  • Hertsgaards rhetorical question "So, you won't apologize to my daughter then?" at the end is particularly offensive. There is a seething malice present in this guys ambush on the Senator.

  • Wow, two liberal political foot soldiers are representing all our grand kids now? Who died and voted them supreme dictator?

  • Stupid young impressionable and idiotic liberals just being themselves.

    Check out the smug shit eating grin from Hertsgaard at 2:11 as well. Pretty much sums up the fanatical AGW environmentalist (scratch that, socialist) movement.

  • The science is settled? Awesome! We can cut all climate science funding immediately.

    

  • @vidmanx0 Cut climate science funding.... Crap we cant do that! Why do you think they keep pushing Climate Change? The funding silly..... /sarc

  • That Fat guy at the back with the video camera could certainly cut his emissions...

  • Pompous douche Hertsgaard gets owned.

  • briliant what ya think mexico, india and china have the same strict rules C02 will go up, awsome!  plus lets face it the outliers were the only ones not saying "winter is a thing of the past" and use science not faith to predict the weather. piers corbyn

  • I will. Daughter, I'm deeply sorry your father is useful idiot.

  • These Greenies just don't get it, do they? Climate change has been around since before I was born, and I am 80 now. These people are so closed minded. Inhofe did a great job.

  • So this is what Politico has come to, eh? Hugh Hewitt is correct when he states that Politico has taken a turn to the left. That is quite disappointing, because it seemed to be a very middle-of-the-road website that appeared to present fair reporting.

    So much for that !

  • Global warming idiots.

  • Until these people are running unshaven no makeup and naked global climate will never change. when these people give there clothes cars makeup shampoo tvs cells computers and twinkees we up shit creek

  • I think Politico did this to increase hits to their web site,

    at the end the guys says it's nothing personal. He must have meant it's business.

    And that's what global warming is---BIG BUSINESS!

  • the girl in the gray coat reacted with emotions not with rational questions.

    When I see people reacting with emotions I wonder what it is in their background that has made them that way.

  • This unannounced meet in the hallways was a coordinated move by global warming believers.

    If the science is 'settled' then why do the top scientists of global warming continually change data? Why did they delete raw data? Why did they delete emails? Why are they doing 'tricks'? Why do they 'hide the decline'"

    Where are the investigative reporters who can blow the top off this global warming movement?

  • Anthropogenic climate change is still a fact. Inhofe is a still in denial, and republicans still are without a clue.

    The science is in.  Nature.com.

  • @Fame11234

    AGW is not proven conclusively, and Inhofe is absolutely correct regarding the futility of human intervention in climate change.

  • @Ovedya2006

    AGW is proven, and willful ignorance from you and Inhofe won't change that. Try nature.com. The science is in.

  • @Fame11234 If the science is in why are we still spending money on it?

  • @Fame11234

    AGW is not proven conclusively. You can keep referring me to Nature.com until your face turns red, it's not going to convince anyone. There is enough contrary evidence - specifically that GW is a natural or cyclical phenomenon - to consider the jury "still out" on the matter. In fact, the more empirical evidence pours in from places like the Antartic core studies, the more AGW is undermined. Besides science is ABOUT variance of opinion. It's why scientists have jobs.

  • Beautiful! Senator Inhofe puts a very classy smack on some lying-about-the-science "Warm Mongers"

  • Extraordinarily well handled! Respect!

  • And the moon is made of swiss cheese can I get a government grant to prove it?

  • well done Jim!

  • Think about the non-stop, "documented" "science" and "evidence" that led to ethanol

    subsidies to protect the environment now that green groups say it's worse than gas?

  • Mark Hertsgaard, who is trying to sell his brand new book "HOT" and who seems to believe that his little daughter should be part of that, is proven YET AGAIN to be little more than a grandiose self-centered huckster fraud who's only interest is to sell his book by hook or crook.

  • Wow. Can you imagine alarmists being that polite and cooperative if they were ambushed by sceptics? Inhofe handled that brilliantly! It's a shame they didn't seem to have taken in much of what he said.

  • I have to give credit to the libs here as well. They were cordial and listened, then asked their questions in a perfectly acceptable tone. Inhofe also kept his cool and made his points in a rational way.

    If only all our debates and discourse could be conducted in such a manner, we might get more done.

  • Allie Carter, a recent Michigan State University graduate, speaks "on behalf of all young people?" How does she do that with my dick in her mouth?

  • Inhofe wins that hands down. Its amazing that three or four activists get their asses handed to them after attempting to ambush him.

    Inhofe wins that one 100%.

  • What a way to start off an interview..."you ask the same question over and over and over again...."

    Whether there is "official" warming or not there is no harm in everyone lowering population, consume less, get rid of the commercial pesticides and yes just stop having so many kids. There are only a limited amount of resources and we have already loss many animals and plants that are not replaceable.

  • @runtolight Yeah, yeah, Thomas Malthus, you just keep telling yourself that. Day after day, year after year, century after century, the Chicken Littles of this world keep squawking the same old tune. The least you could do is come up with a better sales pitch for your Authoritarian B.S.

  • CO2 is food for plants, nothing more. Don't listen to goofy liberal scare tactics.

  • Go Senator Inhofe!!! Good Job!!!!

  • 4:31 says it all. Look at the expression on that moron's face. This chick has no clue what she's talking about and is getting an education in how real world economics work. Unfortunately it goes in one ear and out the other as she goes right back to complaining about how the US should take the lead and destroy its own economy in the name of fighting "manmade climate change", the existence of which can't even be proven.

  • @doughbafett Notice how the new mantra is "climate change" instead of "global warming", since the science has indicated a noticeable cooling trend for the last ten years. At any rate, policy that puts the American economy at an economic disadvantage is no policy that should be adopted.

  • @doughbafett This is why I didn't believe in AGW. Back in the days of Clinton and the Kyoto Treaty, it was clear that the only "solution" the warming believers had was to tax the American people. Even if AGW is true, how does that reduce carbon emmisions? It doesn't. China and India are not going to stay poor for our sake. All the treaty would do is destroy the life of Americans. Even Canada has backtracked on Kyoto. That young girl needs to get a clue.

  • SCHOOLED. (nice touch with the fake kids)

  • I appreciated Inhofe's cool-headed response to these two. His logic was right: Despite whether or not the majority of scientists agree concerning AGW, spending hundreds of billions of dollars to reduce emissions and "cap and trade" laws, it's only IN THIS COUNTRY, not world wide. America's emissions are something like 20% of the world total, with a projected fall by 2030 to about 15%. China's projected emissions by 2030 is about 51% of the world total!

  • I love watching the passion of the cult member chicks. I bet they would have been as equally enthusiastic working with Charles Manson back in the day.

  • Ok, cheers guys. This is getting to be a bit of a time sink for me. Some of you debated pretty honestly and I enjoyed the back and forth, even though I fear some of my best points may have fallen on deaf ears. Some of you spazzed out and called me names and I enjoyed seeing you lose your cool. Maybe we'll do this again some time, but for now I guess I'll have to leave the last word to whoever wants it.

  • Hahahahahah...another lib taken down in public! They looked like they were about to start crying!

  • "98% of climate scientists believe we're warming the planet!" Once again, you have the sheep quoting from the same poll that's been quoted by every other sheeple in the world. The same poll that's been dismissed by scientists because the questions it asks are muddy. Climate scientists agree the planet is warming. They DO NOT agree that it is caused by man. They're about 50/50 on that. If 50 doctors tell me my kid needs an operation, and 50 say no..I'm gonna get more opinions.

  • @Willaev I've looked at all sides of the debate over the Oreskes meta-study published in the journal Science. There's not enough space in youtube comments to get into it. People should look into themselves with an open mind, setting aside political allegiances and just see who makes the best arguments. In this video Inhofe appeals to a list of names selected for their pov. Obviously flawed method. He should have an independent survey conducted based on objective criteria of merit/qualification.

  • @jrshipley Well then I applaud you for attemping to look at all sides of the debate. I used to be a believer. I fell for An Inconvenient Truth(LIE) myself when it first came out. Not anymore.

  • @Willaev I've been interested in this whole debate since well before that movie came out. It didn't influence me one way or another. I'm not especially interested in politicians' views on science. A lot of times that just gets in the way of the real issues. Look how many comments are of the "Gore is a fatso" variety. People should set aside political loyalties and look at the basic physical fact that CO2 traps heat and the empirical and maths case that that explains 20th warming.

  • @jrshipley Except for the fact that CO2 traps heat, none of this is true. There's no conclusive scientific evidence that human caused CO2 emissions are creating a warmer climate. Many people continue to assert this, and it's NOT true.

  • @TheLastBrainLeft Goshdarnit. I told myself I was done with this thread. Can't. Resist. Is this your view?

    1 CO2 traps heat? True.

    2 We are putting more CO2 in the atmosphere? True.

    3 It is getting warmer? True.

    4 These facts are related? False.

    Sorry, but to me if you accept the first three then it's hard to say positively that the fourth is false. You say "inconclusive" leaving wiggle room but the case has gotten more and more plausible with more and more research coming in

  • @jrshipley "3 It is getting warmer?" FALSE

  • @jrshipley Yes. Politics in science is how we got into this mess, on the other hand that may be fundamentally inescapable. I believe the AGW-theory is driven by societal guilt, and that is biasing scientists from looking at other, natural causes.

  • @Willaev Me too. I bought into it in the early 90's. We have a lot more data now. Many scientists and politicians went "all in" with global warming at the same time and now cannot get out.

  • @TheLastBrainLeft Agreed. Growing up in the 80's and 90's, I was groomed to believe humanity caused everything that was wrong with the world.
