So unless he’s getting cocky, this foot stomping imagery probably isn’t what he intended. Yet here he is, going in for…Continue Reading…
He exploits everything–even a noble man’s death— to score cheap points for his side. Was it really necessary to play up Borlaug’s vague statements on climate change in this article, Marc?
