By nearly every metric, Earth's ecosystems are thriving and the human condition is improving. This notion of a prospering planet is entirely contrary to the claims of a climate crisis and a looming disaster around every corner, as proclaimed by the Climate Industrial Complex. In this book, we explore these benefits and learn that we are feeding the planet's growing population through expanded crop growth, that modest warming is saving lives and that extreme weather events are in decline. Sleep well. There is no climate crisis.
Scandinavian Gluten-Free Treats provides recipes for a variety of cakes, cookies, desserts, quick breads and lefse from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland.
