From Michael Moore’s new documentary, “Planet of the Humans,” uber-climate bedwetter Bill McKibben pulls a Sgt. Schultz when asked about his funding sources.

Harvard Howler: Study claims PM2.5 increases risk of death from COVID19

EPA staff sabotages fuel economy rollback
So the Trump administration finally finished rolling back the pointlessly expensive and impossible-to-achieve 2012 Obama administration fuel economy standards. Great. But did EPA staff sabotage the rulemaking to favor certain legal challenge by environmentalists? You betcha.
