Mark Schapiro (apparently) in Harper’s in early 2010 [I found it here https://www.integrity-research.com/wanted-independent-research-to-assess-carbon-offsets/ but the link back to Harper’s is broken, as is a similar link in another piece quoting it; perhaps Harper’s pulled it; this piece attributes it to Mark Schapiro: https://www.reddeeradvocate.com/columns/air-travel-major-contributor-to-climate-change/].

In my latest Epoch Times column I say the Prime Minister is blithely uninterested in Communist subversion while bitterly opposed to domestic dissent.
