A new report from the U.K’s Guardian newspaper has unveiled that Peabody Energy, the U.S.’s largest coal producer, was actively funding over two dozen groups that advocated a policy of climate change denial, including various trade associations, corporate lobby groups, and conservative think-tanks.

The children heard in the background are also commenting on what they are seeing. Thus, your Out There editor has decided–but hesitantly–to post this. Another factor in my decision is it has not been created by one of the big hoax sites, thus the click-count is low. (Virtually all of the videos on such sites are fakes.)
