What happened?

This is the page when you click on DHMO. Is this DHMO.org?
Where did you go when you clicked Coalition to Ban Dihydrogen? Back to the same page. This is a clue that this information is not reliable.

Try truncating the URL.
Highlight text back to / in address then delete. Click Go to go to home page.
