Poison for the Mind: The Nation on CO2 and Global Warming

What’s “a far more deadly gas” than the Sarin that Syrian President Bashar al Assad used to kill his own citizens—prompting President Trump to respond with a missile attack? Carbon dioxide.

Earth Day 2017 and the Anti-Scientific ‘March for Science’

It’s no mere happenstance that the “Marches for Science” were scheduled for Earth Day — this Saturday, April 22nd.
