African Big Game Hunting Protects the Animal
It is counterproductive for some short-sighted green groups to try to stop professionally managed hunting. Stopping hunting can do more harm to animal herds than the controlled hunting quotas.
Should We Really Clean up Ocean Plastic?
Another case of environmentalists wreaking more harm than good?
Meet the Chuck Norris of the Bird Kingdom
They say that mother snakes used to tell their children not to bite Chuck Norris lest they die in agonising pain. But it’s also true that they tell their children to always look behind, or else the secretary bird will get them.

The fact that the legacy media still appears to be in a state of denial over this – clinging to a fictitious world view where they are the righteous gatekeepers of truth – explains, at least in part, why they remain a dying industry.
Waste From ‘Clean Energy’ Piles Up
The environmental impact of industrial-scale wind facilities extends far beyond the operational lifespan of turbine blades and related equipment.
