Thank goodness, you agree with me :) :)

Here's an example of twisting crap..

I'm taking about scientific FACTS. He is happy to spout numbers and data which
do not agree with Scientific fact.. oh no.. don't tell me you are one of them
Flat-earthers hahaha

Oh man your logic is way bad :) :)  If he didn't believe in GOG..oops God, I
wouldn't have a care :)

But you can't argue the fact that the planet is warmer than it was. And Vermont
