7 Pieces of Fake News About the Latest U.S. Climate Report | Breitbart

7 Pieces of Fake News About the Latest U.S. Climate Report | Breitbart
"Bjorn Lomborg is an environmentalist who believes in Climate Change. 
But he is not an alarmist. 
Because of that, he is one of the few worth taking seriously.

...After the release the government’s latest climate assessment report last week, and as we have come to expect, almost all of the establishment media used it to fire hose us with fake news. 
In response, Lomborg published a must-read piece at the New York Post debunking the misleading coverage.

Here are the 7 ways the media misled you about the report:

1. Climate scientist Michael Mann appeared on CNN and NPR talking about “unprecedented weather extremes.” The only problem with that is that, according to the report itself, we are not experiencing “unprecedented weather extremes.” Lomborg writes…

Actually, the assessment, and science, tell a different story. “Drought statistics over the entire contiguous US have declined,” the report finds, reminding us that “the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s remains the benchmark drought and extreme heat event.”

“A spokesperson for the administration declined to explain the divergent fee estimates, comment on the alleged donor policy, or answer the College Republicans’ claim that the elite university is trying to keep away conservative speakers by demanding high security fees.”

Revealed: Mueller's FBI Repeatedly Abused Prosecutorial Discretion

Revealed: Mueller's FBI Repeatedly Abused Prosecutorial Discretion:

Journalist Mike Allen of Axios recently said that one word described Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and that word was “unafraid.”
The context for his remarks on Fox News’ “Special Report” was that Mueller had just spun off to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York a bit of his limitless investigation into President Donald J. Trump. Allen’s comment was like so many others from media and pundit types since the special counsel was launched. If there’s one word to describe the media’s relationship to Mueller, it’s “unquestioning.”

HS Graduation Rates Go Up Even as Students and Teachers Fail to Show Up | RealClearInvestigations
"Phelps Architecture, Construction and Engineering High School in Washington, D.C., seemed to be doing great: A public school that enrolls only economically disadvantaged students, its graduation rate hit a recent high of 94.5 percent during the 2016-17 school year.
Yet in that same year, three-quarters of the students at Phelps were absent more than 10 percent of the time.
Phelps: Three-quarters chronically absent with a graduation rate of 94.5 percent...
...at least one-fifth of traditional public-school teachers missed more than 10 days in 32 of the 35 states studied.
According to federal data, in 2015, more than 41 percent of Rhode Island’s teachers were absent more than 10 days of the year.

James Comey to comply with subpoena -- as long as he can release transcript to public - Washington Times:

Former FBI Director James Comey said Sunday he plans to sit down with lawmakers this week behind closed doors, so long as he can release a transcript of the interview to the public.
GOP chairmen, who are about to lose power in the new Congress in January, are trying to bring Mr. Comey to Capitol Hill to explain his decisions related to the 2016 election, particularly investigations into Hillary Clinton’s use of her personal email and the probe into Russian activities during the campaign.

Trump’s $5B Border Wall Request Equals 0.11% of Federal Spending

Trump’s $5B Border Wall Request Equals 0.11% of Federal Spending:

To put the president’s border wall request in perspective, the federal government spent $5.587 billion in the month of October alone for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, AKA food stamps. Thus, funding food stamps for just the first month of fiscal 2019 cost more than Trump’s entire fiscal 2019 request for border wall funding.

My Puzzlement Over Climate Change Damage Estimates in New National Climate Assessment - Hit & Run : Reason.com

My Puzzlement Over Climate Change Damage Estimates in New National Climate Assessment - Hit & Run : Reason.com: 
"Implausible worst-case scenarios do not further the debate over reasonable policies for addressing climate change.

"Mass deaths and mayhem: National Climate Assessment's most shocking warnings," blares the headline at CBS News. 

The story, which discusses the government's Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4), says that the document predicts "an estimated loss of up to 10 percent gross domestic product by 2100." 
This same estimate was cited by many other news outlets. 
For example, the first paragraph of The New York Times' article on the NCA4 says that "if significant steps are not taken to rein in global warming, the damage will knock as much as 10 percent off the size of the American economy by century's end."
Puzzled by this reporting, I did a rough calculation in my initial reporting on the NCA4. 
Today's $20 trillion GDP, growing at a 3 percent rate, would rise to $226 trillion by 2100. 
With climate change, it would instead rise to only $203 trillion. 
Americans living at the end of this century would be about 10 times richer on average than we are now, albeit in a much warmer world.
So where did those estimates come from? 
Basically from a worst-case scenario of temperature increase called in climate-speak Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP 8.5). RCPs are four different greenhouse gas concentration trajectories used by climate modelers and adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for its fifth Assessment Report in 2014. imate change..."

Al Sharpton sells life story to his own charity for $531K

Al Sharpton sells life story to his own charity for $531K
"The Rev. Al Sharpton has found an eager buyer for the rights to his life story — his own charity.
The National Action Network agreed to pay the activist preacher $531,000 for his “life story rights for a 10-year period,” according to the non-profit’s latest tax filing, which was obtained by The Post.
NAN can apparently turn around and sell those rights to Hollywood or other takers at a profit, but neither the reverend nor the charity would identify what producers are waiting for such Sharpton content.
The document does not indicate when Sharpton, who is president of NAN, gets the cash, which is above and beyond the $244,661 he already pulled down in compensation from the group in 2017.
Sharpton also wouldn’t say when the cash would come in.
"What does that have to do with anything?” he said..."

Austin Votes to Keep the Books Closed

Austin Votes to Keep the Books Closed-Austin, Texas
"It would be hard to find a better example of left-wing naiveité in municipal affairs than what transpired here in November.
Voters in the Lone Star State’s progressive bastion, overwhelmingly approved a $925 million bond package but rejected a simple ballot initiative for an independent audit of city spending.
The defeat of the audit wouldn’t be so galling if the new bonds didn’t so obviously demonstrate the need for an independent review of Austin’s books.
Spending in the Texas capital is more like what one would expect in some profligate California city. With this new bond package, Austin has been reduced to using debt to fund parks, public safety and sidewalk repair—instead of paying for them out of its $4.1 billion annual budget.
...Putting progressive ideals and special interests ahead of working people is a familiar pattern in Austin.
...As for the independent audit thwarted in the November election, Austin progressives could hardly admit they opposed accountability for their spending schemes, so they campaigned against the audit initiative as a right-wing plot funded by the Koch brothers and “dark money.”...

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming

Pablo Sepulveda shared a link.

"Read the rules changed and I have to add comments.

My comment is, The UK is now at over 50% renewable which I would assume mean they reduced 50% of the carbon emissions. 

Does the localized reduced carbon emissions translate into reduce CO2 for that area? 

I understand it wouldn't be a 50% or even 25% reduction of CO2 for there area, but I'd would guess it could be measured and compared. 
Assuming there is a reduced CO2 for their area, is there going to be less growth in their vegetation and how would you measure this? 
Also I'd imagine their air should be cleaner, which should also be measurable."

Adam E. Wirth It only takes a few minutes to verify things...
...Great Britain's energy comes from Norwegian oil and Russian coal and gas. Wind and solar provide barely anything there. What they also call renewable energies are biomass plants. They actually buy wood scraps from the United States of America and have it shipped over on giant Freighters to burn in their plants. I'm serious look it up. If you think that that is sustainable and renewable you clearly are lacking in your cognitive abilities.
