Now they put into people brain about nonexistent human-caused global warming for example. Not only within last 6 years average earth temperature goes down, but it was actually more hot long time ago. In Poland until 12 century malaria was common disease. Then it disappeared as climate changed to cold enough to kill these parasites. They even repeat that ices are constantly melting. Yes they are, in the same time new is constantly built up, like it is for thousands of years. MOST FUNNY - "Arctic ices are malting so fast, and when they will melt water level will raise many meters high. Countries like holland will be flooded". It's really funny that people with not just primary school, but university papers believe that when ice floating on water will melt, water level will go up. All this politician's tricks works only because people are by average just dumb.
