doh mine' dem! di'ze the biggest lie in histree!

doh mine' dem. deh want you to agree to their taxation scheme fuh the world under the guise of fighting gloal warming. there is no global warming and the climate always changing no matter what humans do.

as yet we have no way of controlling the weather and it wends its own way immemorially, paying no mind to humans. if we doh pay attention to IT we drown in flood, and burn and get fried by lightening, starve-out in drougt etc.
