We are in a recession and the spending for green projects is costing the Connecticut taxpayers billions of dollars. Plus, global warming is a fraud. Global warming is a lot of "hot air." The green tree huggers are lying to the American people by hiding facts, destroying research papers and deleting e-mails that prove their theory is false. Here are a few facts:
