A Tale of Two Cities: Beware the Cold of Winter
By Dr. Rich Swier
A reader sent us this comparison of the cities of Chicago, Illinois and Houston, Texas. The point being made is that the environmentalists want to link violence with climate change. There is actually a Nation Whistle Blower (NWC) website where you can “Report Climate Crimes.”
According to the NWC website:
The National Whistleblower Center (NWC) is the leading nonprofit dedicated to protecting and rewarding whistleblowers around the world. We assist whistleblowers in finding legal aid, advocate for stronger whistleblower protection laws, and educate the public about whistleblowers’ critical role in protecting democracy and the rule of law.
So does crime come from the individual or the climate. Check out these interesting facts.
