My Gift To Climate Alarmists
Why Hacker News recommends it
Shared by climate-skeptic commenters as a counter-argument to alarmist statistics, a contested source rather than consensus.
What it is

Because they know it won't be under water in just a few years, and that the climate scare is selective presentation of statistics in service of propaganda to consolidate political power.
