This is what “Chris.B” had to say, and for the most part I’d have to
fully concur, that our global warming via artificial or natural causes may indeed be an unfortunate path to our future demise, however, it’s hardly the looming and gripping threat that’s being intentionally kept behind closed doors, and/or having been made taboo/nondisclosure rated to the public media that wouldn’t dare bite the hand that’s feeding them.
