Yes I'd also add - given the nature of the band and it's topics..

It can only be assumed that actual discussions could pop up now and then.
Be it of ones interest, or not..

And yes even when a new albums out - perhaps that would be a time when even more is discussed,,


As with life, just tune out what you feel the need to tune out..

Everyone's heard of ice ages, last one wasn't long ago, we all know the climate changes, so the accusation is redundant and misleading. And the "denier" epithet is disingenuous at best, sinister at worst.
