The Climate Changers really need to drink another shot of the Kool-Aid. Their whining, rants and tantrums are REALLY getting old.

This is the most absurd claim yet for CO2.

The people are fleeing bullets and bombs, not CO2.

Rather than ‘climate change’ the real reason is bh0’s pulling out of Iraq and letting it go to heck. Giving al Qaeda and ISIS the room to grow and ‘prosper.’
