this is just more bull*** making the unprovable case that man caused global warming. climates change and in a geological time frame the world will most certainly not be the same in a century or two with and without mans influence. making common cause with the CCP and tearing down this county and limiting our children’s future potential for wealth and fulfillment will do nothing to curb your so called catastrophic climate change.

I look forward to the insights and editorial confronting the seriousness of climate change and how deeply we are impacting our oceans. In just 5 minutes, Peter packs a powerful punch. Thank you!
This is one of my favorite environmental podcasts. Short episodes each week tackling complex issues. Each week I’m left asking myself questions about what I can do to make a difference, and the changes that I can make in my home, community, government and country to combat the many issues facing our precious world ocean. Thank you!
