Andrew Dessler Cancels Economists from the Climate Debate

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- July 11, 2022

“In order to solve the climate problem, the first thing we need to do is ignore the economists.” – Andrew Dessler, May 14, 2022

With the moral high ground and the attention of regular citizen/voters, there is every reason for these consumer-driven industries to stop playing defense and woke politics.…

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- July 1, 2022

Independence Day could also be called the CO2 Holiday with all the driving, grilling, and fireworks. So ignore the climate alarmists and eco-snoops. Celebrate the traditions of the July 4th weekend with gusto!
