This from today’s issue in an article entitled, “Long Balmy Days Ahead” (at 11:50.) According to Metservice meteorologist Andrew James are some fronts coming bringing
Dear Mainstream Media
The following letter has been sent to various MSM print outlets as well as CoL politicians. It was entirely predictable that we would get sensational alarmist reporting from the UN IPCC this week.

Apparently, on November 5, there was an utterly traumatic event perpetrated at Northwestern University in the US. The college newspaper The Daily
