STUDY: Most Global Warming Is Natural | The Daily Caller
STUDY: Most Global Warming Is Natural | The Daily Caller:
"The world would have warmed throughout the 20th Century even without carbon dioxide emissions from the industrial revolution, according to a new study.
“This suggests that even if there had been no industrial revolution and burning of fossil fuels, there would have still been some warming through the twentieth century – to at least 1980,” according to lead author Jennifer Marohasy."

OPINION | The real threat to our republic is the Orwellian Antifa | TheHill:
"...For all the talk of Trumpian bluster or exaggeration, there is only one group that seeks to systematically and violently achieve its goals here in the United States on a broad scale: the so-called “anti-fascist” movement, now commonly called “Antifa.”
And the goal?
It’s not “anti-fascist” or “anti-racist” as they attempt to portray themselves.
It’s the systematic elimination of free speech, free assembly, and free thought via any means necessary, including violent protest, the media and Orwellian revisionism..."

Musk Warns Against 'Arms Race' in Autonomous Weapons | DefenseTech:
"Elon Musk, the billionaire behind such companies as electric car-maker Tesla and rocket-maker SpaceX, this week joined other experts in the field of artificial intelligence to warn against a potential “arms race” in autonomous weapons.
Musk was among nearly 100 business leaders and scientists from such countries as the U.S., Russia and China who signed an open letter this week to the United Nations “raising the alarm” on the potential for advances in artificial intelligence and robotics to lead to the adoption of autonomous weapons.
In the correspondence, the group praised the UN’s plan to create a group of governmental experts on lethal autonomous weapons systems to “work hard at finding means to prevent an arms race in these weapons, to protect civilians from their misuse, and to avoid the destabilizing effects of these technologies..."

Hmmm. How will the lyin' media play this?-----Texas Governor, Mayor Split Over Whether Houston Needed Evacuations - WSJ
Texas Governor, Mayor Split Over Whether Houston Needed Evacuations - WSJ:
"HOUSTON—A split between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner over whether the metropolis should have been evacuated is raising questions about officials’ response to damaging floodwaters as a catastrophe continues to engulf the region.
Mr. Turner, a Democrat, and other local officials urged residents to stay in their homes as Hurricane Harvey, which has since downgraded to a tropical storm, approached Houston on Friday.
But at a Friday news conference, Gov. Abbott, a Republican, suggested otherwise.
“Even if an evacuation order hasn’t been issued by your local official, if you’re in an area between Corpus Christi and Houston, you need to strongly consider evacuating...”"

Statue Of Revolutionary War Hero Decapitated | Daily Wire:
"Crawford County sheriff Scott Kent said authorities were unclear as to when the vandalism took place. Attorney Joel Spitzer said he has photos as recently as August 20 showing the statue unharmed. He added, “It’s actually quite shocking to see this in little old Bucyrus, where we really have little connection to what’s going on in the south. … William Crawford was from the Revolutionary War and the French and Indian War, so I thought he was fairly safe,” calling the vandalism “a pitiful display of what someone thinks or feels.”"

Climate scientists withdraw journal claims of rising sea levels | Environment | The Guardian
"Study claimed in 2009 that sea levels would rise by up to 82cm by the end of century – but the report's author now says true estimate is still unknown
Scientists have been forced to withdraw a study on projected sea level rise due to global warming after finding mistakes that undermined the findings.
The study, published in 2009 in Nature Geoscience, one of the top journals in its field, confirmed the conclusions of the 2007 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
It used data over the last 22,000 years to predict that sea level would rise by between 7cm and 82cm by the end of the century.
At the time, Mark Siddall, from the Earth Sciences Department at the University of Bristol, said the study "strengthens the confidence with which one may interpret the IPCC results".
The IPCC said that sea level would probably rise by 18cm-59cm by 2100, though stressed this was based on incomplete information about ice sheet melting and that the true rise could be higher.
Many scientists criticised the IPCC approach as too conservative, and several papers since have suggested that sea level could rise more.
...Announcing the formal retraction of the paper from the journal, Siddall said: "It's one of those things that happens. People make mistakes and mistakes happen in science."
He said there were two separate technical mistakes in the paper, which were pointed out by other scientists after it was published.
A formal retraction was required, rather than a correction, because the errors undermined the study's conclusion..."

Congressional Leaders Demand New Sanctions On Iran After Photographic Evidence Catches Islamic Republic Violating Obama's Nuclear Deal:
"Western Journalism published a shocking report Friday about Iran’s activities in Syria, which it has turned into another client state by the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The analysis was based on a rare report by the Mossad, Israel’s external intelligence service, and detailed the buildup of Iranian troops in Syria .
According to Israeli analyst Zvi Barel, 70,000 Shiite combatants have joined the Syrian army, who are forming a long-term existential threat to Israel."
