Francisco Lotero, 56, and Miriam Coletti, 23, shot their daughter and her toddler brother before killing themselves. The reason:global warming.
Their son Francisco, two, died instantly, their baby survived a bullet.
Due to faulty scince regarding global warming/climate change Al Gore, the UN and IPCC need to be sued for wrongful deaths, mental distress leading to homicides and suicide.
Jo,
You are certifiably INSANE.
But if you really want to go here, let’s start with the Mass murderers George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. They are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of cicilians in Iraq, as well as the thousands of military personnel and contractors who have died in Iraq,
Finish prosecuting them for war crimes, and once that’s done, we can talk about your insane rant.
Speaking of mass murders, since 1973 the liberal Planned Parenthood have engaged in the genocide of over 17 million African Americans in the U.S. The progressive darling Margaret Sanger,founder of Planned Parenthood, idol of Hilary Clinton felt this type of eugenics was OK. Strange that conservatives finds this genocide a travesty against a specific race, however the libs find this “choice” acceptable.
Al Gore and his minions are responsible for the bad results of his fraudulent global warming/climate change falsehoods.
Bush liberated Iraq from the mass murderer Sadam Hussein, Sadam killed millions of Kurds Biden and Obama are claiming victory in Iraq.
