Professor Katharine Hayhoe “Talking Climate” today
When did caring about the planet become “un-Christian”? Great stuff.
Fecklessness
(A post inspired by Professor Christian Robert at his blog.) This is from The New Yorker‘s 7th November 2021 issue. It features an article by staff writer Elizabeth Kolbert titled “Running out of time at the U.N. climate conference” which … Continue reading
