BIG Scoop

I admit it – I am an environmental activist!

Many assume that because I often publish articles criticizing and debunking climate alarmism, I must not care about the environment. This is simply not the case; I care a lot about the environment. In fact, technically, I qualify as an environmental activist. My activism starts with my personal life: I use my legs instead of an automobile to get around town, I purchase minimal packaging, I live in a small home, I have few possessions, and at least 90% of...
