KUDOS, KUDOS, KUDOS! I have been so happy since I found GCB! I remember way back when I lived in Grant County and I always read your articles in the SCDP.

Watching and listening from the balcony, I thought that I could clearly recall the many portions that resonated... Read More

I had to comment on Marita Noon's article on the EPA talking about the discredited climate change theory. 97% of climate scientists agree negative change is occurring. So she's going with what the 3% say?
