Seven Worlds, One Planet – Natural History Education or Climate Change Propaganda? (Part III)

This is a continuation of my blog entitled Seven Worlds, One Planet – Natural History Education or Climate Change Propaganda? (Introduction and Part I) published on Nov 22, 2019, and Part II also published on Nov 22, 2019. Part II provides a more detailed account of the material I collected from reading the scientific literature. Part III is a list of the scientific literature consulted.
