"...........The eight scientists are Mann, Dessler, Elsner, McCarthy, Bradtmiller, Vincent, William Easterling at Pennsylvania State University and Matthew Huber at the University of New Hampshire....."

No card ever trumps God.

From what I see the left eventually wants to herd Whites,Christians,and Jews to resettlement camps in the east. But first a relaxing shower to freshen up for their trip.
For everything else, there’s MasterCard...
