The Skeptical Science Attack: Where My Professional World and My Vocation Converge
Indeed, the phrase “a subterranean war” is a good description. People in general are ignorant, complacent about climate change. Few people know the extent and drama of the online campaigns that entangle big business, governments, activists, scientists, politicians, military, and … Continue reading
