Climate Change and Federal Government Funding

Posted on August 7, 2018 by climatechangefork

Last week I looked at four Republican senators’ efforts to terminate government funding for television meteorologists who mention climate change as part of the forecast. I also discussed the issue in light of the global heat wave and the havoc … Continue reading →

Science or Indoctrination?

Posted on July 31, 2018 by climatechangefork

Earlier this month (July 3rd and 10th) I wrote two blogs about a heat wave that was affecting my home of NYC and how it impacted me. The weather here now is lovely (around 85oF, with bearable humidity and no … Continue reading →
