Good, I hope this makes people stop and think who is responsible and who should be talking on the lions share of work to fix the problems.

Uranus and Neptune are ice giants. Very different composition than the gas giants.

The gas giants are basically hydrogen and helium. Just big puffy balls. Neptune and Uranus are made mostly of things like water and ammonia. So they aren't being forgotten here, they actually aren't gas giants.

While you give cutesy names to environmental disasters, I'll be in my bunk, sharpening the blade on the guillotine. I'll also bring my trusty crowbar.
Tell me when those people who are so ashamed about their own wrongdoing come out to be lynched.
