ODAC Guest Commentary – The Wicks Report

December 15, 2020August 14, 2009 by Richard Miller

“There is no crisis”, states the introduction to this paper. We suggest that Mr Wicks is therefore not entirely in command of his brief.

These issues are old news for much of the world. We in the wealthier nations are going to join the global community in attempting to find ways to survive and live amidst enormously trying circumstances.
