Very informative. Too many reruns.
The interview today, discussing tree growth, and the reference to radiocarbon, why can’t you just say radioactive carbon? Is it that hard?
Defensive much? I just heard your reply to the criticism you received on the Republican “opinion“ peace you carried on the July 19 show.
I listen to you for facts. Are you now becoming an opinion show?
