Amazing that all these groups are supporting Global Warming, and there isn’t any Global Warming, and hasn’t been for a decade or so. And, that it was much warmer during the Medieval Warm Period and the earlier roman Warm Period. And, there are lots more equally enlightened groups and foundations than this. Maybe, hundreds. Added to this total of mindless bloviators are thousands of classrooms staffed by teachers and “professors” who espouse these same beliefs.
Where do all these people come from? Who, exactly, tells them what to do? Where do they want to go in life? Are many of them married? With families? How many are in these organizations? How much money do they take from working people? By what mechanisms do they get it? How many meetings do they attend? Will any of them go to Heaven?
