Dear Mr President,
Every President seeks to leave a legacy, a memory of what they achieved in office, an unambiguous testament that all the personal effort and sacrifices they put into winning that high office meant something – that they made a difference.
There is a way you can do this, which will stand the test of time. Defund the climate science establishment.
For more than 30 years, America has poured enormous resources into investigating the alleged risk of anthropogenic climate change. All the climate science movement has to show, after all that time, is a set of climate models which don’t work, and a cowardly letter which seeks to use the authority of government to crush people who inconveniently highlight the glaring flaws in their work.
Demanding a RICO sanction against your academic and political opponents is an act of desperation, not strength. The climate alarmist movement is on its last legs. For 18 years, despite an unprecedented release of anthropogenic CO2, and a rise in atmospheric CO2 of around 60ppm, just under 20%, global temperatures have flatlined. The divergence between predictions and observations is now an utter embarrassment.
The movement will most likely fail in the next few years. Already leading climate scientists are switching to global cooling scares, in my opinion because they know the risk, that not only will the pause continue, but there is a real chance global temperatures may actually start to drop.
Mr. President, if you do the easy thing, and continue to associate your reputation, your legacy, with this failure, within your lifetime your legacy will be forgotten.
If instead you act against this pointless drain on American taxpayers, and take a courageous stand against those who would overturn the US constitution, to save themselves from the humiliation of having to admit they were wrong, your legacy will stand the test of time.
The choice is yours, Mr. President.
Yours Sincerely,
Eric Worrall

LOL appealing to the Ecoloon in Chief to stamp on climate fraud is like appealing to al-Gore, or John Kerry, or Jerry Brown or – well, ANY Dumbocrat politician. The Kenyan is no Gorbachev – if he was planning on pulling down that wall, he wouldn’t have been building it higher and higher for his first 2 terms.
If you believe the climate obsession is on its last legs I have a bridge to sell you.
This guy came from nowhere, even in Illinois politics. He promised a change in governance and delivered a change in constitutional interpretation.
I would prefer he pound in that last nail on the coffin of his legacy. No presidential library for him. It will likely be just a storage rental. 10 by 12 at the most.
Nah. Just locate it in a high-security federal penitentiary, and assign him as librarian.
He’s gonna need a prison job as he serves all those consecutive felony sentences, right?
There ought to be radio PSAs that state:
In December 2015 the president wants to begin the process of making the US subject to a world governing body for energy management.
If you find that climate change has not particularly influenced your life and you are not wishing to be subjected to a bureaucratic global rulership of the resources which supply heating, cooking, transport and electrical energy, you are kindly advised to contact your local senator and representative with your concerns.
Do you think it would sink in?
“The choice is yours, Mr. President.
Yours Sincerely,
Eric Worrall”
And he has been very clear about his choice of Executive privilege and his abuse of using it!
Sorry but useless such a letter/similar needs to be signed by Dyson, Giever,Singer, Spencer ect and thousands not dozens
Writes Eliza:
You think that honest scientists could possibly have any persuasive power over Stanley Ann Dunham’s “good Muslim schoolboy” and Cook County machine apparatchik, “Barry” Soebarkah?
Say rather George Soros on the signature line, along with all the other contributors, bundlers, and boodlers who’ve bought him over the years.
More than 31,000 scientists did that in 2007 and so far it hasn’t made much difference.
I find that the Open Letter by Eric Worrall is excellent.
Jean Meeus
I agree and while knowing the futility of it nonetheless a few minds will have been changed. It had to be written.
Jean Meeus, any chance you are this Jean Meeus? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Meeus
Mike, yes that’s me.
Extreme solutions are usually bad solutions, and this is a rather extreme solution and a very bad idea.
We may agree that climate science is a complex issue and at there are many topics where our understanding is deficient, but the answer to that is not to cut research. That is anti-science.
The answer to deficient understanding is more research. We need to know more about the climate, not less.
As all other civilized societies take AGW deeply serious, a defunding of the American climate science could make America a laughingstock in the international society.
But I fear that the educated people in the world would think that this issue is too serious to laugh at. Other nations all over the globe put huge resources in their efforts to cut their carbon emissions. If US defund their efforts I think they will become isolated in the scientific society. Scientists from the US may choose to do their research in other counties where they get the funding.
/Jan
why cut carbon emissions?
why not fight for carbon based life and carbon dioxide?
unlink climate research from socialism and put it back in science
Wise letter among all the anti Obama nonsense. He is a good president in contrast to Bush and Reagan.
Fat chance. Obama is purging thoughtcriminals e.g. with his public campaign https://www.barackobama.com/news/play-denier-bingo/. He cannot risk requests for adding his own photo any more than facing racial discrimination accusations due to white only nominees.
To Obama’s defense, he admits well over 25% dissidents in the congress. The most notorious on this particular slippery slope made no such concessions.
THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED!!
Fine, in that case why do we keep having to fund more and more research?
“Fine, in that case why do we keep having to fund more and more research?”
Because sceptical scientists properly question what has already been researched – in all directions. Most advances in all fields, from Socrates through Galileo to AGW, come with challenge to existing social order.
The eternal human problem is to find a neutral stage where legitimate debate can get beyond the competition for status and hierarchy that exists in all mammalian societies.
You really think AGW counts as an advance?
The highly paid search for unicorn farts never ends!
The DEBATE about AGW has produced enormous advances in our understanding of the complexity of the various climate regions and climate history on Earth.
Maybe, because of this, our previous simplicistic ‘knowledge’ will be swept away and replaced by a better understanding of our place as bacteria on Earth’s skin … 😋.
Mr. Worrall, with all due respect, your letter will fall on deaf ears. Using RICO to attack scientists who are skeptical of the CAGW hypothesis is entirely in line with not only the President’s own personal views, but also the way his administration has weaponized government against the citizenry. It’s even possible the “scientists” who signed the infamous letter had the idea suggested to them by people in the executive branch itself.
Obama is a glove puppet. More important to get at whoever has his/her hand up his tootsy.
follow the money
“If instead you act against this pointless drain on American taxpayers, and take a courageous stand against those who would overturn the US constitution, …”\\
Unfortunately you are writing your letter to one of those people who has shown themselves willing and eager to overturn the US constitution at every turn.
Eric Worrall’s letter is directed to the wrong person and will be totally ignored as also suggested several times above. Instead he should have written to Senator Inhofe detailing out all the adjustments made to the global temperature records by NOAA & GISS and how they now are made to divert from the satellite records. Every month seems to have a little bit of extra current warming added in the hope that the gap to the models can be diminished prior to Paris December 2015.
Senator Inhofe promised earlier this year a Senate investigation into the make-up of the surface temperature sets. I would think that the time has arrived to commence the investigation. Maybe on the other hand he is waiting until early next year to allow NOAA & GISS to “bring the noose closer to their necks”. The more extra warming they add the easier it will be to prove them wrong may be the thinking. Maybe a finding of fiddled statistics just before an Agreement in Paris is brought to Congress could be the strategy Inhofe has in mind.

‘Obama Seeks Psychological Help with Climate Change’
“Yesterday, he issued an executive order instructing federal agencies to use behavioral science when addressing rising temperatures and other policies.”
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/obama-seeks-psychological-help-with-climate-change
This policy and other policies. And will this executive order, behavioral science, stand a Constitutional test?
Regarding the letter to Obama which Kevin Trenberth cosigned calling for skeptics to be tried in court for presenting fundmentally critical climate science, well, it is a much worse case of corrupted intellectual integrity than the letter against Einstein’s papers/theories signed by 100 establishment German scientists. Why is the anti-skeptic letter to Obama that was cosigned by Trenberth much worse than the German scientist’s letter against Einstein? Because Trenberth endorsed trying in court all climate focused scientists for the act of thinking critically about his (Trenberth’s) views of climate science, whereas the German scientist’s letter against Einstein did not ask for Einstein to be tried in court.

“Stupidity from the Examiner on the highest order.[…]
Reagan and the U.S. Congress Tax reform law launched an unprecedented era of prosperity, creativity and growth in the U.S. that continues to this day.”
Obviously, you’ve been living in a different U.S. than I have since then. I guess in your eyes all the abandoned storefronts, homeless people, and staggering national debt of $18 trillion are signs of unprecedent prosperity.
It is a curious aspect of hero-worship that facts don’t matter because it’s all about image, which fact you confirm by attacking the source (Examiner), while failing to address any of the points raised in the news article.
Trading arms for hostages, funding terrorists, negotiating with Iran to delay release of the hostages, granting amnesty to illegal aliens, tripling the national debt while reducing tax burden on the most wealthy from 70% to 28%, despite raising taxes on the middle class 11 times…these are just a few of the many misfortunes which came down on Reagan’s watch.
And let’s not forget the S&L scandal:
“This bill is the most important legislation for financial institutions in the last 50 years. … All in all, I think we hit the jackpot,” said Reagan as he signed the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982. Reagan declared that the bill, which changed the rules governing Savings & Loans, was “the first step in our administration’s comprehensive program of financial deregulation.”
By the end of Reagan’s presidency, the S&L industry lay in smoking ruins after a long campaign of looting that eventually cost taxpayers about $132 billion. This was the largest bailout of the financial industry in U.S. history until the Wall Street collapse of 2008..
https://theintercept.com/2015/09/16/seven-things-reagan-wont-mentioned-tonight-gops-debate/
(my bold)
We’ve had so many bad presidents in recent decades that it’s no easy matter picking the worst, but O is a leading contender, neck and neck with W; here I will just defer to that other Bush some call Poppy:
That’s not to say Reagan wasn’t beloved by some Americans. According to former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev, George H.W. Bush told him in 1987 that “Reagan is a conservative. An extreme conservative. All the blockheads and dummies are for him.”
–ibid””
There is much above to disagree with. Honestly, I am not sure if it is Steve P. or Grant who wants to rewrite history and blame Reagan for the S&L failures in the 1980s so please forgive me if I’m addressing the wrong person.
The law is named Risk Based Capital Guidelines, (RBCG), and it was signed by Carter. The new requirements placed upon S&Ls by RBCG were phased in over time with the final shoe dropping during Reagan’s presidency. The requirements for 50% cash on deposit to offset the lender’s commercial loan portfolio was such a huge change that many of the rural institutions had no chance to meet the new rules.
Please give us a source which shows the final accounting of the Resolution Trust Corporation’s disposition of all S&L assets and supports your claimed $ loss.
Cheers,

gudolpops: “There is much above to disagree with…”
You can say that again.
This bit is particularly egregious – a flat out lie, in fact: “negotiating with Iran to delay release of the hostages”.
In fact, the hostages were released the day before Reagan took office, 20 January 1981.
The Mullahs in Iran were very well aware of the consequences if they had held on to them after Reagan had taken office – they would not have been pleasant for their poisonous regime.
One wonders why some people attempt to propagate such transparent, easily discredited lies.
In his bizarre and audacious attempt to rewrite history, catweazle666 claims:
“In fact, the hostages were released the day before Reagan took office, 20 January 1981.
[…]
One wonders why some people attempt to propagate such transparent, easily discredited lies.”
Yes, one does wonder. Perhaps you are simply displaying your staggering ignorance; otherwise, the reader may decide for himself who is lying.
“On Jan. 20, 1981, Iran released 52 Americans who had been held hostage for 444 days, minutes after the presidency had passed from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan. The hostages were placed on a plane in Tehran as Reagan delivered his inaugural address.
http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/jan-20-1981-iran-releases-american-hostages-as-reagan-takes-office/?_r=0
Here’s ABC’s Ted Koppel:
“The Iranians stage-managed the drama down to the last second. Precisely at noon, just as Reagan began to recite the oath of office, the planeload of Americans was permitted to take off.
30 years after the Iran hostage crisis, we’re still fighting Reagan’s war
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/01/21/AR2011012102914.html
“On the day of his inauguration…20 minutes after he concluded his inaugural address, the Islamic Republic of Iran announced the release of the hostages. The timing gave rise to an allegation that representatives of Reagan’s presidential campaign had conspired with Iran to delay the release until after the election to thwart President Carter from pulling off an “October surprise”.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Surprise_conspiracy_theory
U.S. government officials are in high dudgeon again – this time over Iran’s audacity in naming an ambassador to the United Nations who allegedly played a minor role in the 1979-81 crisis in which 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days in Iran. But the same U.S. officials ignore the now overwhelming evidence that Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush helped extend the hostages’ suffering to gain an edge in the 1980 election.

Steve P says:
30 years after the Iran hostage crisis, we’re still fighting Reagan’s war
Steve P has been brainwashed. He probably believes that nonsense.
The fact is that abducting American diplomats and their staff and holding them hostage (and humiliating our country by marching them down the streets of Tehran, blindfolded and with guns to their heads) was unequivocally an act of war.
By international law, the U.S. would have been fully justified in attacking Iran and laying waste to their country, no different than we did with Germany and Japan in WWII.
But that would have required more than an inept, bumbling president like Jimmy Carter. The whole thing was his fault, anyway.
Carter actively encouraged the Shah of Iran —America’s true friend — to vacate his country at the critical moment. In any revolution, each side needs a leader. The Islamists had Khomeini. The loyalists had the Shah, along with the military hardware, the Air Force, armor, and everything else needed to put down the insurrection.
But because of Carter’s incompetent meddling, the country was suddenly without a leader. That was decisive. Furthermore, Carter had advised the Shah some months earlier to stop paying the monthly stipends to the country’s mullahs.
Of all the stupid things to do, that was by far the most stupid. Iran’s mullahs depended on their monthly income from the Shah. The quid-pro-quo was that they would support the Shah. But when the Shah took Carter’s advice and abruptly stopped the payments, naturally great hatred was generated. Most mullahs were not rich, and they depended on the monthly payments.
The mullahs exerted great influence in Iran, which they still do. When the Shah took Carter’s advice and eliminated their financial support — simply because a small minority of the mullahs were being critical of the Shah — as one, the mullahs turned on him, whipping the populace into a frenzy. Against all odds, the revolution succeeded. The two central reasons were the ending of the subsidies, and the Shah vacating the Peacock Throne and hightailing it to America, leaving no one in charge.
President Reagan inherited Carter’s blunders. But he was handed such a mess that all his attempts at peacemaking came to nothing: Iran has been America’s sworn enemy ever since, and only a fool would think otherwise.
Even Obama has tried to mend fences, to no avail. He just handed Iran $300 billion, and the means to build nuclear bombs. What did it get us? NOTHING. Obama wouldn’t even ask Iran to release the 5 American citizens who have been held on trumped-up charges. Is there anyone who doesn’t believe that Iran would relesse them — for $300 billion?
Yes. Plenty of folks are brainwashed. They live in their own fantasy world. See the link I posted above.
Steve P may believe that “we’re still fighting Reagan’s war”. But he’s been brainwashed. We are fighting because of the mess President Carter caused to happen. It didn’t need to be this way. But things like that happen when an inept, bumbling president thinks he knows how to handle international relations. We’ve got another one in office right now.
That would be Clintons debacle

“Steve P may believe that “we’re still fighting Reagan’s war”. But he’s been brainwashed.”
~
Unfortunately dbstealey, in your haste to make your point, you’ve missed the important detail that the words you have erroneously attributed to me, are in fact the title of Ted Koppel’s Washingon Post opinion piece, which I quoted, and linked. It begins:
You further say: “But because of Carter’s incompetent meddling….
Yes, well this is a constant refrain among those glorifying Reagan, who was so interested in the hostage’s fate that he worked to ensure they stayed right where they were, until he could ride onto the scene, and rescue them.
In my view, it was earlier Western meddling in the internal affairs of Iran that got the Iranians screaming mad at us in the first place, paving the way for the seizure of power by the mullahs, and setting the stage for the resultant hostage crisis, but no doubt, Carter was getting some very bad advice too.
Mosaddegh had been deposed in 1953 after he nationalized Iranian oil, which had been under British control since 1913.
“Critics say the scheme was paranoid, colonial, illegal, and immoral—and truly caused the “blowback” suggested in the pre-coup analysis. […]The US-backed coup, in effect, had ended Iran’s last fully democratic government, and there would be no return of democracy even after the Shah’s removal.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mosaddegh
Of course, for some interests, blowback may be an acceptable outcome, if not the desired effect.
Actually, that has been proven to be without merit or foundation. Indeed, the democrat congress investigated that allegation, not due to any evidence, but due to the “seriousness of the charge”. It was of course ludicrous as Bush was not in Paris during the alleged “meeting” to keep the hostages there, nor has any evidence ever surfaced to support the lie. And repeating it does not make it so. Just as repeating what Koppel said does not make it a fact.
Steve P says:
…Reagan, who was so interested in the hostage’s fate that he worked to ensure they stayed right where they were, until he could ride onto the scene, and rescue them.
Got a verifiable citation confirming that nonsense? More to the point: do you actually believe it?
Steve P: “…Reagan, who was so interested in the hostage’s fate that he worked to ensure they stayed right where they were, until he could ride onto the scene, and rescue them.”
Utter bollocks.
Stop making stuff up.
Steve P says:
…you’ve missed the important detail that the words you have erroneously attributed to me…
My apologies, but the way you posted it, it looked like a comment you were making. No quote marks, etc. And of course, it did seem to be something you would believe.
Next, a couple of us have disputed your contention that President Reagan somehow engineered keeping the American hostages in Iran so he would look good. That’s preposterous, but we gave you a chance to prove it. The only response was *crickets*.
Next, it seems your main criticism of the Reagan Administration is the S&L crisis. Aside from the fact that with the changed rules that was bound to happen, if it were true that President Reagan had caused the S&L crisis (he didn’t), that would be a very small price to pay for what he did, in fact, bring about:
Reagan’s policies and actions led directly to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the downfall of the Soviet Union. Russia now is but a small power by comparison; the Soviet Union was a real threat, but today’s Russia is about half its former size.
Make no mistake: the FSB (formerly the KGB) has the same players, and they have been spectacularly successful in planting ‘useful fools’ in academia and in the media. An entire generation of Americans has been brainwashed, and that is no vague, throwaway term. It is all too real, and it is the basic reason for the destructive tribalism of our society; the casual dismemberment of living, healthy, almost-born infants to be sold for parts, the dumbing-down of society via a totally corrupt and inept “.edu” establishment, the gutting of our military, including the cashiering of flag-rank officers who are expected to make the ‘right’ choice: obedience to Obama, or to the country, and the discharge of 40,000 soldiers at a very dangerous time in the world, and the ‘dangerous man-made global warming hoax; the constant intolerance displayed by the Left, the endless accusations of “racism”, the incessant attacks on Western religions, while trumpeting the wonders of ISIS, the destruction of the rule of law by the corruption of the courts, and just about everything else that is sending our great country spiralling down toward destruction.
You think this is all happening randomly?? That it’s all a big coincidence? If so, you’re far more credulous that I thought.
When the Soviets realized that they could not win a war against the West because of Reagan’s decisive actions, they changed course and began to ramp up their plan to infiltrate and take over various “organs” (to use their term) of our free society.
They have been astonishingly successful. No one with any common sense would believe that almost every professional body, and university, and institution would publish the same “climate change” statement, almost word for word. They are all saying the same thing, toeing the same Party line by promoting the exact same “humans are the primary cause of climate change” narrative.
Human nature isn’t like that. There are always differences of opinion, which are often completely contradictory to each other. But in the “climate change” narrative, every professional body has exactly the same position: humans are causing global warming, and it’s gonna be bad. It’s almost like their opinions were bought and paid for, eh?
And of course, their membership is never allowed to communicate through membership lists. Their “survey” and “poll” questions are equally bogus. Only head-nodders who are too lazy to think about it would accept what they’re being spoon-fed by the media.
Finally, a word abouth the current Pope. As a Catholic, I watched Pope John Paul II face down the Soviets in 1980 in Poland, along with unionist Lech Walesa. The Soviets swore they would never again be humiliated by another Pope. For the past 35 years they have put their energy into making certain that would never happen again. Pope Francis is the direct result. Could there be anyone more Communist than this new Pope?
This is all part of a deliberate plan — and it would be very surprising if there were not such a plan in effect. No one understands human nature better than the KGB. What you observe in today’s society may appear to be nothing more than anarchy. But always ask yourself the question: “Cui bono?” You will see the answer.
dbstealey: “You think this is all happening randomly? It’s all by coincidence? If so, you’re far more credulous that I thought.”
Sniff…sniff…hmmm…
Do I smell ‘Useful Idiot’?
Do I smell ‘Useful Idiot’?
Yep, it’s Steve P, and there are plenty like him around.

which you have dumped in its entirety, sans formatting but including the link to the Intercept article by John Fox, was in response to a comment by Grant at September 20, 2015 at 9:59 am. You’ll find it stealthily lurking directly above mine.
Please take note in my comment that the italicized parts enclosed by quotation marks indicate that I’m quoting from some other source.
The $132 billion figure appears in the linked Intercept article by John Fox, which you apparently either failed to read, understand, or take note that the $132 billion figure was hotlinked to its source, which is the 1996 GAO document FINANCIAL AUDIT Resolution Trust Corporation’s 1995 and 1994 Financial Statements.
http://www.gao.gov/archive/1996/ai96123.pdf
Where you’ll find on Pg. 13, Table 3, the following:
“…Of the $160.1 billion in total direct and indirect costs, approximately
$132.1 billion, or 83 percent was provided from taxpayer funding sources.”
Because that figure is from 1996, it is doubtful that it is the final accounting of the S&L scandal. You’re free to provide that figure, if you have it.
Some deregulation did take place under Carter, but the S&L scandal took place on Reagan’s watch. I doubt you’ll find anyplace where Carter talks about “..hitting the jackpot.”
erratum
s/b …linked Intercept article by Jon Schwarz, not John Fox.
The S&L crisis was created by Carter. The S&L’s had 30 year 5% fixed rate loans outstanding when Carter drove real interest rates to 20% +. The banks had to pay more for funds than they were receiving on loans creating unsustainable losses. His short term fix was to allow the S&L’s to write off losses to goodwill which did nothing but postpone the problem into Regan’s term. The crisis was owned by Carter.
Gregory Lawn,
Correct, I remember it well. Passbook savings rates were 5.25%, which meant that savers were effectively subsidizing Carter’s inflation. Buying power was being taken from savers by paying them far below the real rate of return (by law, banks and S&L’s could not pay higher interest than that).
Around that time I bought a multi-unit apartment building. My interest rate on the mortgage was 25%!
But it was a great investment, because the declining interest rates that followed — due to Paul Volcker, Reagan’s Fed chief — caused property values to rise. Owners benefitted, not renters.
There’s a lesson there: renters never share in property appreciation. In fact, they pay for it. So it’s always best to buy your own home if possible.
No matter what you think about our presidents, including Mr. Obama, we should keep in mind that they have the most challenging job in the world. They are also human and prone to err. As a final comment, they earn our respect, the respect that we automatically grant to all people we encounter. I am very disappointed with some of the comments in this blog. We are doing a disservice to the great service of Anthony Watts and the other sincere contributors to this great blog.
American friends of my parents who I met while in Belgium are totally and utterly dismayed at the destruction the man has brought upon your great nation. And people voted for him, twice???
Eric,
You’ve made a fatal flaw in your plea. Common sense in not common and your argument assumes that BHO cares a twit about CAGW.
You’re assuming that BHO believes his “scientists”. I don’t think he cares a wit what they think.
To him, his legacy is about the politics of creating a “One World Order” and income re-distribution from the rich (as he sees it – “colonial”) nations to the poor (aka: in political correctness terms) “developing nations”.
A few years ago a member of the UN (was he in the IPCC?) whose name I cannot recall basically said exactly this about the “Global Warming” (Science).
Obama sees his legacy as making the West pay for the East (and by proxy – what he perceives to be our past indiscretions) – Period!
Which of those now running for the Oval Office in 2016 is “presidential-timber” anyway? Not a rosy picture for the future, IMO.
The longer the time to follow the main efforts of science and policy to define and determine the cause of climate change and the consequences in terms of global warming. But, unfortunately, I have not seen anything logical in many stories, especially those that support the policy and not a science that studies and respecting the laws of nature.
In many places I have called attention to the fact that climate change on the planet, not only on nšoj planet, depend on the relationships of the planets and the sun.
In what way can this be proved? It depends on the interests and moods of powerful circles and when they realize that the progress of science can not be achieved with a profit interest in this field.
Today they all run and rush headlong into the unknown, only if they consider that there can be realized a personal profit.
These all who read this, I can not ignore this, as they wish, because nobody can forbid you, but remember, that I have the obvious idea that these ENIGMA successfully complete !!.
Offering up with his idea, but now I stand by that, that NASA and the Government of the United States if they have this interest, can be a little “lowered down” and to accept the offer with a contractual obligation to perform it in detail.
Read this and think there is no need to be making fun of this, but to try to solve.
I can not wait to fall soon many false theories about climate change.
