About twelve years ago, operators of oyster hatcheries along the Oregon coast noticed something strange. Oyster larvae were dying. By the billions. In short order, climate-change alarmists posited a cause: “ocean acidification” driven by manmade carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from burning fossil fuels.

A reader curious about celebrities’ role in the radical environmental movement emailed me recently. He wondered if and their claims about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) were credible. He was particularly interested in anti-GMO claims by Indian scientist Vandana Shiva. Shiva is no newbie to GMO. She speaks often against it. Her celebrity status gives her
