Not what it seems

Highly biased show bordering on communistic views shock value Climate change after climate change views without actually having an opposing position and constant spewing of the same nonsense. Id rather here the 2 opinions of both sides of the fence nevertheless Dr karl is a great entertainer even though his accuracy in the last 40 years since 2 double J days has been 32%
Slightly better now with google scholar helping the “Dr”
