No. You sent it to the wrong kind of agent. For those who dream of
royalty checks, 'commercial' is a good thing.

Sporadic spurts of weird weather occur all the time but that doesn't
change the fact that the global climate is steadily warming, AND humans
have exacerbated that, AND it's having deleterious effects on the
planet. Even former global warming skeptics, scientists with brains five
times the size of yours, admit that now. Try reading something besides
"Entertainment Weekly" for a change and make an effort to look beyond
what you see in your belly button, you clueless moron.
