10. Wow, who will tell the people what we've known for years

and is now confirmed? If the people are told, will they believe it? After all, why would those wonderful billionaires who "worked so hard" for their riches and own millions of dollars worth of wine lie to us? Why would they hoard all that wine (or art, or cars, or cash, or whatever) if the future was so bleak? Why, indeed!

After reading the umpteenth stupid letter in our local paper declaring climate change a hoax, I sent a link to the young editor from the LA Times that declared they would no longer print letters from climate change deniers. I reminded her that the newspaper is not required to print every crackpot letter in the name of free speech. Much to my surprise, she responded positively. That was two months ago and the regular, weekly rants denying climate change have miraculously not appeared.
