Contrary to the popular narratives that the planet is at risk from “climate change”, that carbon dioxide is pollution and that climate science is settled and confirms the need for drastic measures to save us all from a warming planet; there, in fact continues to be a...
Happy New Year all, though 2023 is well underway. Type A’s have buttoned down 2023’s goals and are doubtlessly already pursuing them with a vengeance. (Us) Type B’s are now wandering aimlessly around gyms, rationalizing abandoned resolutions, and annoying the regulars...
