Seems OMICS International will publish anything
A new paper in the Environment Pollution and Climate Change journal (published by OMICS International) claims to have provided a refutation of the climate greenhouse theory. It’s, of course, utter nonsense, so I’m not planning on saying much. What is … Continue reading
Clutching at straws GWPF style
