Description
Professor Valentina Zharkova is a world renowned authority on the impact solar system wide events have on the climate of planet Earth. She has been a voice seldom appreciated due to the nature of her research and its implications, including that of undermining the Green Agenda and the blaming of carbon for potential catastrophic consequences in the future.
Her resume is indisputable.
