Climate Thought Police Are At the Door

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- July 6, 2020

This post merely reproduces the open letter from climate alarmists to Facebook. This action, be assured, is a beginning, not the end. Expect more censorship alongside heavy-handed government intervention in the Malthusian’s last stand.
