Answer 4

Answer 5

You can't, its a conspiracy between the tree huggers who just want to tell everyone what to do and the government who want to takes lots more money off of us. They feed off each other in a never ending cycle of bullshit, the more the tree huggers spout off the more it gets into the publics collective consciousness. Eventually the government will cash in on the paranoia that'll be rampant and take lots of money from us to save the planet.
