He is also the molester of instructor Marla Endriga, as hinted in the PDI column of Prof Solita Monsod (Sep 8, 2012).
Perry, you should just molest the plants because no complaints will come from the plants.
“Anthropogenic Global Warming: Beyond the Hype- Doing the Right Thing for the Right Reasons.” Sounds like a heap of bullshit. The usual paper coming from self-professed progressive types that is short on science and long on self-righteousness.
