The Fukushima disaster invites us to look back and probe how nuclear technology has shaped the world we live in, and how we have come to live with it.

The Great Climate Change Debate, Karoly vs Happer
February 15, 2016 was the beginning of a debate on man-made climate change between two well-known experts in the field, Dr. William Happer and Dr. David Karoly, hosted by James Barham and his team at TheBestSchools.org.

This is an in-depth look at both sides of the debate between two prominent experts.
