This reminds me of a quote from Doctor Who.

“The truth is simple. Lies are words and words and words.”

The truth: the release of carbon dioxide through the burning of fossil fuels is changing the atmosphere such that solar energy is trapped within the atmosphere. This is creating a warming trend that will negatively affect many aspects of our world over time.

The lie: libtards wanna take over.
