WHY DON'T WE HAVE AUTO GAS AT GAS STATIONS HERE LIKE THEY DO IN AUSTRALIA???
Humans are not responsible for global warming. The sun is. The
earth's average temperatures have fallen for the last ten years,
coinciding with a reduction in solar activity as a part of the sun's
normal cycle. The mainstream media is ignoring this data, but sooner
or later the whole global warming deal is going to be blown out of
the water.
