Write an op-ed about climate change and you get a lot of emails and questions.
Here are the answers!
The LA Times has recently reported on a metastudy that finds cell phone users suffer 10 to 30% more
cancer than nonusers. How well does the claim stand up to scrutiny?
Its time we grew up and faced the facts: climate change is real and its man made.
By measuring the amount of CO2 we have put in the air and the rise in global temperature,

Forests have been felled and fortunes spent on diets and dieting. The money has been wasted and almost all the words are worthless drivel. Find the secrets to the only diet that really works. And its free!
The journal Science is reporting that two studies claiming that radiation from cell
phones can cause DNA damage are fraudulent.
The physics behind the interaction of radiation and matter tells us that cell phones cannot
