The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

3:30pm- According to Addison Smith of Just the News, a global coalition of more than 1,600 scientists—including several Nobel laureates—have formally declared that “there is no climate emergency” and that drastic attempts by government to reach net-zero emissions would have harmful effects.
