Meemoe_UK, I want to reply to one thing about EU from your April 3rd comment.
“EU has a problem with circulating weak ideas that are appealing but not scientifically plausible.”
This is certainly not true when it comes to anthropogenic global warming. The EU has taken an wildly anti-scientific stance on this issue. Posting articles that claim among other things that CO2 is not a greenhouse gas and global warming stopped in 1998. Right wing climate change deniers are given prominent placement. A world that welcomes the Koch Brothers and their Big Oil cronies is not a place we want to hang out in.
