Sam, don't be a denier and fight the 100% consensus that climate ALWAYS 
changes! We successfully turned around the global warming disaster as 
predicted by Dr, Hansen and disaster has been averted. Let's just keep 
doing the same. You deniers have nothing of value to add.

Sam, do you believe in ghosts, ESP and HAARP?
