Albeit completely false, does not matter to these people. The end result justifies the means (or better said, lies.)
Absolutely, same happened with glowball warming and the new spew coming out 'story of stuff'
It is up to all of us to seek out the information to differentiate fact from fiction, documentary from pseudo-documentary.
Get the information out in a comprehensible fashion, like 'the great global warming swindle' did....that took much wind out of their sails....then the e-mail leaks. However there are still people out there and in the MSM that believe nicely packaged stories.
Long road ahead....long road ahead....
