Time to Vote
*SEPP’S APRIL FOOLS AWARD – THE JACKSON

It is time for voting on the Annual SEPP’s April Fools Award – the Jackson. Last year UN Secretary General António “Leave it in the Ground” Guterres beat out the National Science Teachers Association who demanded that representatives of the CO2 Coalition and their displays be removed from a conference of science teachers. The troublemakers espoused the radical idea that carbon dioxide is necessary for all green plant life, thus all life. Horrors!
