Banning Harmful Chemicals, Penn & Teller Style

by Mark Jabo

I know. This is the second P & T video I’ve linked to this week. Can’t help it - I’m a big fan. BTW, if you ever get the chance to see their show in Vegas, go. It’s amazing and hilarious.

If they had a video poking fun at global warming skeptics, I’d post it. Honest.

About Environmental Talk

Environmental Talk is a blog that attempts to do the impossible . . . which is to have a reasoned and nuanced approach to the science and issues surrounding global warming. At the same time, we are not above taking the occasional potshot at the extremists and posers on both sides of the topic.

As a global warming agnostic, blogger/moderator Mark Jabo attempts to come down squarely on the side of finding humor in what is, too often, a needlessly contentious topic.
