That fluoride makes people stupid.
That humans only contribute like 0.2% of greenhouse gases and have no impact in climate change.
That petroleum is a natural renewable mode of transportation that doesn’t come from dinasaurs

And that NASA just lies and was founded by NAZIs so they just do nothing and collect government money
