Dear Friends,

Well, aren’t life’s ironies delicious? Oil tycoons Charles and David Koch drop $150,000 on a climate-change skeptic’s research and the guy concludes the world is warming after all! This should end the debate over whether climate change is real. But don’t count on it. Richard Muller, the scientist who conducted the research, says “greenhouse gases could have a disastrous impact on the world.” But somehow, I suspect the hard-core denier crowd will find a way to continue to keep the faith.

This week’s on-air conversation will include some discussion of Muller’s research, an update on the Occupy Wall Street movement, and . . .

Monday at 7:00, we talk with Fox News analyst Jim Pinkerton. Then at 7:30, Ying Sa of Community CPA gives us the lowdown on the upcoming Immigrant Entrepreneur Summit at Drake University.

Tuesday, we talk with state apiarist Andy Joseph about colony collapse and what’s buggin’ the bees. We also discuss the extent to which local taxpayers might be frisked to help Whole Foods expand in central Iowa, to the detriment not only of taxpayers but locally-owned natural foods stores as well.

Wednesday, we’re going to talk with Steve Stone about 9-11. It seems there are a growing number of architects and engineers – now over 1,600 – who feel the destruction of the World Trade Center was partially an inside job, destroyed by controlled demolition. What do you think?

Thursday, Jose del Valle joins us to discuss a development of interest to tea and coffee fans. The business he works with, Organo Gold, promotes a health-benefiting fungus called “ganoderma” that’s added to tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Yum and good for you. How cool is that?

So, tune in at 98.3 WOW-FM and online. You can download the Fallon Forum as a podcast, too.  And don’t forget to visit The Fallon Forum website at fallonforum.com.  Thanks!
