   And why shouldn't NOAA be gutted? They're merely producing   
   useless statistics on CO2 and methane  emissions whilst global   
   warming is mostly caused by the overpopulation on this planet   
   which we're doing nothing about. Not even the free distribution   
   of condoms and contraceptives are being contemplated to halt   
   the mindless breeding.   
      
   Humans too exhale CO2 and we're doing it 24/7 whilst our cars   
   and trucks are only running several hours a day, at most.
