By skepticism, he meant “standing up and exposing the science, the costs and the hysteria behind global warming alarmism”."

Manitobans Split on Whether to Sell Water to the United States – July 6, 2009

NO Second Class Citizens – June 26, 2009

Sir Roger's Ten Lessons for the Recession – March 25, 2009

Private Water Management Helps The Poor – March 23, 2009
Only five percent of global water management today is private.
