Anemia Would Rise in Climate Obsessed’s Meatless Dystopia

Iron deficiency, and the anemia it causes, remains a persistent global health issue that can only be exacerbated by a war on meat waged by climate alarmists, whose hostility to animal protein is a manifestation of an anti-human ideology.

An Unusually Warm Year or Two Cannot Be Blamed on Climate Change

By /

That title might trigger some people, so let me explain. Yes, in a warming world due to increasing CO2 there will be a statistical increase in “unusually warm” years.

Almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day, and billions live with little to no access to electricity, like those in places like Africa, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

Counterpoint: Fossil Fuels Help the Environment
