Here's my myspace level pitch:

Anyone keen on a #connect?

Based in #SouthAfrica.

It’s so blatantly obvious that this is the best way to go. it highlights the terrifying hold fossil fuel giants must have to counteract voter friendly, planet friendly, economy friendly policies.

They are blocking slam dunk wins in the vast majority of the world.

Eventually lying is fraud right? 98% of scientists don’t just arrive at a conclusion for it to be disregarded? Can a government just lie to its people and not have to explain to a judge how they got there?

How is this still a debate and not a court case?

There are so many expert witnesses!

Upwelling is a process that allows cold, nutrient-rich waters from the depths of the ocean to rise to the surface to feed marine life

Just wondering when this new attitude in Britain came about that it’s wrong to rock up to someone else’s country in boats to take over?

Could I interest you in some history and reparations?
