The population of the African bush elephant has tripled in the last six months (Apr-Aug 2006).

Some opponents of global warming science suggest that this is conclusive evidence that climate chance is not having a negative effect on the earth. Thus far, liberals who push the "global warming" agenda have not had any answer for this evidence.

I don't know about radiation or the moon landing, doesn't seem important enough for me to seriously research. But don't believe everything you read that supports your ideology.
