Ootkos huomannut että sun viestejäsi ei viitsi enää kukaan lukea?
Mistähän johtuu?
Näyttaa siltä etteivät osaa lukea, ainakaan englantia.
Mutta mutta, katsos riittää että edes yksi osaa, joka ei ole kaltaisesi
älykääpiö.
Minähän vain harrastan onnenongintaa, lisäksi pääsin yksin hunajapurkille,

Voi ressukkaa. Ihmisen aiheuttama ilmaston muutoshan on tieteellinen fakta, sitä opetetaan mm. yliopistoissa ja kouluissa. Vatnajökull sulaa kokonaan 150 vuoden päästä. Etkö lukenut kun vinkkasin GEO-lehteen. Jos uskot kaiken maailman huuhaa-p*skaan ja Itä-Anglia skandaaleihin vaikka ne kolmessa eri tutkimuksessa kumotaan, niin omahan on ongelmasi.
Hörhöilysi määrään (uskomaton tapa elää...) nähden kuuntelijasi ovat tosi vähissä. Kannattaisiko välillä tehdä jotain ihan oikeaa...?
Denialisti ei ole tuonut palstalle aikoihin mitään järkevää, joten taitaa tässä Eeliskin jäädä vähän lomalle - on nimittäin aika paljon muutakin elämää päinvastoin kuin Sähköpölhö-ressukalla!
Toivotamme sinulle Eelis: Mene lakkoon ja pysy siellä. Älä unohda pierrä verta ja ripuloida.
Sinä eelis näytät uskovan kaikkeen huuhaa p*skaan kuten esimerkiksi tällaiseen: "Vatnajökull sulaa kokonaan 150 vuoden päästä." Helppo heitellä tuollaisia ennustuksia, joiden toteutumista ei meistä kukaan ole toteamassa.
Jos tuolla alueella tapahtuu muutama massiivinen tulivuorenpurkaus niin kyllä tuo jäätikkö voi aikalailla pienentyä mutta ilmastonmuutoksen kanssa sillä ei ole mitään tekemistä.
Jaaha, ulkona tuntuu olevan taas melko lämpöiset yökelit. Ilmasto lämpenee - hörhö pieree verta!
Phil jones on hihhuli, kuuluu yhteen stottilaiseen lahkoon, ja sää käskynsä
väärennöksiin ja huijauksiin ilmastojumalalta, jumalan risti nimisen kirkon kautta.
Todisteet on jo nasun hoivissa.
