New Climate Denial Talking Point!
Or at least one that I’ve never heard before. On Friday night, I was lucky enough to be the “left” in a local version of NPR’s “Left, Right, and Center” with Matt Miller. We did it at my local synagogue, where Miller (and I) are members. The “right” was my old friend Larry Greenfield, who …
