Sadly it's the left-wing hippie version of the climate change denialism.

Some choice quotes, in case you weren't aware of this weird and fascinating movement, which descended from Chemtrails-ism, demonstrating the truly bizarre cognitive dissonance involved:

- "The earth is way too big for industry to affect the climate"

- "The government has much more advanced technology than they will ever admit"

- "There is no consensus among climate scientists that carbon can cause climate change"

- "The media is lying to you, only a small vocal minority of climate scientists thinks that climate change is due to carbon emissions"

- "This guy on Youtube is a climate scientist and he says HAARP can modify the weather! Why should I trust you and not a climate scientist? Why would this person lie?"

The funny thing is that these people are typically hard-core environmentalists.




Interesting wave of downvotes. Care to explain?
