TRNN: The Real Climate Hoax Is Not the One Claimed by Big Business

New Union of Concerned Scientists research provides evidence that, for decades, major oil companies knew the truth about climate science but conducted strategies to orchestrate a campaign to discredit its theories. The strategies employed are similar to those utilized by big tobacco.

During the depths of World War II, Herman Goering, the Chief of the Nazi Air Force, said "When Allied bombers attack Berlin, you can call me Meyer".

When the B-17s and Lancasters started hitting Berlin in 1944 "Meyer" was no where to be found.

Because the reality of getting your house blown out from under you will definitely outweigh whatever propaganda there is to the contrary.

The reality of Climate Change will be when the Climate Bombers start hitting our own Berlin, and the deniers will be no where to be found.

The reality of Climate Change will sink in when massive droughts destroy the food supply and the store shelves are empty.

Sorry Deniers, you can't just change the channel on reality.

they thought we would be able to just like that stop using their products. We even now have a long way to go to be able to rely solely on alternative energy. They have put us into harms way for absolutely nothing.
