But... but... Thom Hartmann told everybody, this is all fake stuff, the science is settled, we're going to roast!
Satellite data? I don't care what the temperature is in space.
Yet.
Oh yeah? What if you were hit by a bus?
Doesn't matter whether you care or not, in space, no one can hear you scream.

What a video it is! Genuinely remarkable and fastidious quality, please upload more video clips having such good quality. Thanks.
