   How many people are there on the planet that deny climate?  One, two   
   maybe?

   LOL!   
      
   There was a recent study reported about how polar bears are doomed   
   (again).  The media mis-reported the facts of the study to add to the   
   impending catastrophe; the study was funded in part by the $800   
   million/year conglomerate known as the WWF; and one of the study's   
   authors is a WWF employee.  Nope - no bias there either, and people just   
   lap it up.
