    Let's hope MB won't have to change the iconic "4810" on its nibs.

    I‘m aware that this is a true story, I thought the sarcasm and irony were clear in my previous post. (But English is not my first language so I might be wrong)

    I live near the Alps and I‘m painfully aware of the human made global warming and can see the dramatic changes, just as 99,97% of the serious climate scientific community.

    Keep in mind that there are many, many people here in the United States who are profoundly ashamed of the actions of the current resident of the White House, and that the majority of the citizens are well aware of the perils of climate change. It is very sad to have a National Park - Glacier National Park! - that is losing the very elements that gave it the name. It is my fervent hope that we can correct the wrongs of the last 3 years and move forward to address these wider issues, but all of this involves human beings, and one can never completely predict how they will behave.

    I don't mean to become too political in this thread, as I've spoken out against politics in the forums. If I've crossed a line, I'll redact.

    I find your sarcasm totally unwarranted. And your assumption that I hadn't read the whole thread is discourteous and has no basis in fact.

    The fact that our "stable genius" of a President denies humanity's role in aggravating climate change is irrefutable and a sad example of political expediency. This is not "President bashing" but simply a valid criticism. I can express this criticism seriously or in a light hearted manner.

    For the record, I also believe he is a numb nut.

    I hope you don't find my comments as "too political". If you do, don't worry as I can't vote against him in the next elections. As you may know residents of a US colony can't vote for the US president. Now that's certainly political.

    Maybe Global Warming has not quite reached his nuts, yet. It takes time, as much as four more years.

    So youll right a wrong by putting in a socialist flake or a dumb dumb in office just because they promise you free everything at the expense of something or someone else. Of all the people to choose from, you libs love your narratives of non elitism, and hate speech but put your royalty in front of others.

    Global warming may or may not be a debatable topic but I haven't heard one solution outside of blame America first. Then what? What's the fix besides naming trump a bad guy. Wear your beard and tight pants in millennial self importance and tell us all in a fountain pen forum why you are smarter than 120 million people, if only we could just see your point and read the real news as reported by the NY Times.

    Focus on bullying people that wear red ball caps. You truly are our nation's best.

    I'm just wondering: does the person who ties your shoes also chew your food for you? it's nice to have help with the hard things.

    Thanks for coming back to this important topic, so long lost these many weeks, er, months...

    Any post that starts like this isn't worth finishing reading. So I chopped it all.

    Fortunately, most of us know this is false depiction of the options out there. The are at least four untruths in this sentence alone. Lotta bs bang for your buck!
