  • Climate Change? Be Very Afraid of CDS — Carbon Derangement Syndrome

    By Selwyn Duke In 2013, astrobiologist Jack O’Malley-James predicted that visible life on Earth would end due to too little atmospheric CO2. No, that’s not a typo. The gas’ levels will ultimately decline over time (the dinosaur age saw levels five to 10 times today’s), O’Malley-James explained. Eventually, they’ll drop so low that plants won’t be able…

  • Is the Myth of Plastic Recycling Finally Being Exposed?

    By Selwyn Duke It was to be a routine voyage. It would become historic. On March 22, 1987, the barge Mobro 4000, loaded with six million pounds of garbage and towed by tugboat Break of Dawn, departed Islip, New York.

This perhaps could come to mind with news that TV “scientist” Bill Nye is following Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. In fact, says Nye, you should vote for her because…

  • Illegal Aliens Are Destroying Our Environment, Darién Gap Indians Warn

    By Selwyn Duke We hear much about the crime, costs, and culture clashes resulting from illegal migration. But one consequence is generally overlooked: the environmental destruction wrought by the millions of illegal aliens encouraged to travel to the U.S. by the Harris-Biden administration. This destruction is severe, too. Just ask the Indians living in the…

  • Let Them Eat Sweat: No AC for Olympians, Said French Greenies

    By Selwyn Duke “Fish and guests start to stink in three days,” goes the old epigram — but not if French Olympic organizers bent on surrendering to summer heat have their way. That is, since they wouldn’t provide the athletes they’re hosting air conditioning, citing greentopian priorities, the competitors may stink after one night’s fitful…
