Re-recommendation

May I again recommend the magazine Free Inquiry. Last year, I subscribed to Skeptical Inquirer, a guarded magazine with too many footnotes and too many university-based writers.

            Small wonder that the public doesn’t trust the media because shrieking about the environment—rising CO2 levels, melting glaciers and disappearing polar bears—without decrying the main cause, human overpopulation, is illogical. But you can hear/read  that hourly/daily in the media. 

            The editor of Free Inquiry, however, respects his audience enough to confront the issue head on, for which I wrote and thanked him last issue as honesty is rare.  (My letter is in the current issue.) Equally culpable are environmental organizations: World Wildlife, Sierra Club, none of which will decry human population increases or draw the correlation between disappearing animal habitat and burgeoning human population.

            Arguably, the top prize for ludicrousness goes to IPTV, which aired an hour-long program in which a handsome Indian scientist (you must look good on TV!) talked about salvaging chimp populations by letting chimps move back and forth between forest spaces by creating woodland areas. How long before human populations encroach on those? Not long, thinks the critical eye!
