There is so much crap online these days in supposedly 'Clean, Green, Eco-aware, Environment-Friendly, Forward-Thinking, Concerned, Activist' sites like The Climate Reality Project, that the situation is unbelievable.

So, Basically, We’re Trapped With No Way Out
I'm not going to say anything, other than pose the question - "When are people going to accept this and stop trying to fix climate change?"
