Schools’ eco-propaganda doesn’t teach kids to think : Opinion : The Buffalo News

It’s back to school—the time of year when the cool autumn air rolls in, crisp apples fall from the trees and my 5-year-old daughter comes home from school asking, “Mommy, what corporation started the sun on fire and made global warming?”

Mortality rates in radio-collared moose are too high to sustain the population, Peterson said. Research by Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources put the average non-hunting mortality among collared moose at 21 percent since 2002.
