Last week I went on a trip to the Newseum in Washington DC. I had the opportunity to see some of the most incredible Pultizer Prize winning photographs like this one of a poor Sudanese girl, crawling, trying to pick herself up off the ground to get to the nearest feeding center. The sad story [...]

The Duplicity of Global Warming Theory
