Here is one for all you climate deniers who believed oil industry lies for 40 years. According to a Harvard study, it seems that 80% of Exxon’s public communications cast doubt on climate change while 80% of internal messaging said the opposite. Yes boys, climate change is real and you bought into their lies lock, stock, and barrel.

Whenever you see Harvard and climate change study, it’s almost sure to be Naomi (“She’s not as nice as she looks!”) Oreskes underneath it all. She has no applicable scientific training (no, “mining geology” isn’t preparatory for understanding the climate system, thermodynamics or atmospheric physics) and in this case, it’s her “Merchants of Doubt” over and over again.
Besides, Cross, I only started believing the “lies” ten years ago after reading papers (peer reviewed, not “pal” reviewed) by the likes of Svensmark, Shaviv, Veizer, Friis-Christensen, Lindzen, Kirkby, Choi… among others. The antidotes for drivel by Oreskes, Mann, Schmidt and others who pretend to lay closer to science than to activist political science.

http://www.honestfact.com/
Here’s some tasty tidbits coming from his own website that was so prominently displayed during Trumps speech.
“Cherokees Repent because all nations even the Cherokees can be Saved Rev.7:9-13. Because Noah is the father of all men. Gen.
9:18-22 & Acts17: 26. The Nobles ( Gov. Leaders) of them will be
destroyed. Come out of Her & be not Partakers in her sin Rev.18:
1-8. Black & White must Unite & The World must not fight or God
will Burn the Earth by Fire 2Pet.3:6-15. The Sons of Perdition must
be Revealed & Voted out the way (Cherokee Senators) 2Thess.2:
1-11 & then Black & White will Unite Under GOD!!!
PRAISE YAHWEH &
YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH!!
The Real K K K Slave Masters Revealed, 2Thess.2:1-11 & they
are CHEROKEE Indians (Hidden Babylonians). The reason GOD
YAHWEH chose TRUMP to be President is to be the White & Black
Man’s DELIVERER from the Babylon, like the Gentile King CYRUS,
Isa.45:1-6!
YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH Taught Us To Vote Republican & is Now VINDICATED
Republican Senators who’re against Trump’s HealthCare Policy & all of his Policies are Mormon Cherokee’s. They are the Racist that believe White Gentiles & Black Republicans are Idiots & are not worthy to Rule
1)Cherokees are the real KKK Racist Slave Masters, not White Gentiles who are Black Peoples Republican Emancipators! see7:6. So tax Indians & free us now!

Those western Canooks are polite, no doubt. They live up to their reputation. Liked the opening with the young Native American princess….Opps…..the young First Nations’ princess telling the gathered assembly that they we standing on her stolen land and started crying. Very civil, I must say, as well as rather polite.
The best part of what I saw was when the female voice from the podium called out, “When I say ‘we are…’, you say, “Many!” When I say ‘they are…’, you say “Few!” We are… “Many!”, They are…..”Few!”
Hmmmm. The whiteman said to us, “We are big, you are small. We are many, you are few. We won, you lost. Get over it.” Now, the SJWs of color chant “We are many, they are few.” Just like a whiteman, ROFLMAO.
