The CO2 Derangement Syndrome – a historical overview | Watts Up With That?

The CO2 Derangement Syndrome – a historical overview | Watts Up With That?
"A very large majority of establishment academic climate scientists have succumbed to a virulent infectious disease – the CO2 Derangement Syndrome. 
Those afflicted  by this syndrome  present with a spectrum of symptoms.
The first is an almost total inability to recognize the most obvious Millennial and 60 year  emergent patterns which are trivially obvious in solar activity and global temperature data.

This causes the  natural  climate cycle variability to appear frightening and emotionally overwhelming. 

Critical thinking capacity is badly degraded. 

The delusionary world inhabited by the eco-left establishment activist elite is epitomized by Harvard’s Naomi Oreskes  science-based fiction, “The Collapse of Western-Civilization: A View from the Future”..."

NBC Has Cozy Financial Relationship With BuzzFeed | The Daily Caller:

NBCU doesn’t appear to have disclosed that information when both NBC News and MSNBC have been so uncritical in their reporting of BuzzFeed’s journalism, including the coverage of BuzzFeed’s discredited report on how President Donald Trump was supposed to have counseled lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.

If The U.S. Has To Pull Its Diplomats Out Of Venezuela, Here's How They Would Do It - The Drive

If The U.S. Has To Pull Its Diplomats Out Of Venezuela, Here's How They Would Do It - The Drive
"Venezuela is in the midst of major civil unrest following the decision by the President of the country’s National Assembly, Juan Guaido, to declare himself the new Interim President of Venezuela.
The United States, among others, has recognized Guaido, creating a standoff of sorts with the regime of the country’s embattled President Nicols Maduro.
While the chances for a major military intervention still seem low, the U.S. military could find itself deploying forces to the country soon in order to help U.S. diplomats and other American nationals evacuate or to provide additional security at diplomatic and other U.S. government facilities..."

Andrew Breitbart Was Right About the Media---The American Spectator

Andrew Breitbart Was Right About the Media---The American Spectator
If only he could have been in Washington this past week

I am at war with the mainstream media because they portray themselves as objective observers of reality, when they’re no such thing. They’re partisan critical theory hacks…  They have nothing but contempt for the American people. – Andrew Breitbart

Andrew Breitbart loathed the mainstream media. If you have any doubt about this fact, watch the following videos. He was disgusted by them and wasn’t shy about saying it.

He called out the liars and frauds to their faces.

He knew, to his core, the mendacity pointed at ideological enemies of Leftist dogma. He ran flank for Tea Party leaders who were being investigated by every government department including the IRS, FBI, EPA, and more. He loved these people who the elites in both parties hated. He defended them.

He protected those who were willing to be apostates to the leftist cause including guys like Brandon Darby who thwarted a Lefty terrorist group who planned a bombing at the Republican National Convention, and Milo Yiannopoulos, a flamboyant anti-feminist gay man.

He promoted the brave and gave them platforms including Dana Loesch, Ben Shapiro, James O’Keefe, and Hannah Giles. He was famous for finding talented and fair-minded people and developing their gifts. [Full disclosure: He promoted my work and helped build my consulting business before I came to The American Spectator.]

Andrew was nothing if not righteously indignant..."

How $137 Billion Strangely Disappears | AIER

How $137 Billion Strangely Disappears | AIER
"In fiscal year 2018, $137 billion was paid “improperly” by the federal government, according to a recent report.
That number sums all the improper payments by what the government calls high-priority programs. They are programs with improper-payments estimates exceeding $2 billion annually.
If it makes your head spin, it should.
...Now that’s where the good news stops, I am afraid.
In 2015, the $137 billion was spread over 15 programs.
The $137 billion in improper payments in 2018 is spread over 12 programs.
In other words, each program’s improper payments have grown..."

Winter is Coming - Super Grand Solar Minimum - NextBigFuture.com Winter is Coming - Super Grand Solar Minimum
"Professor Valentina Zharkova gave a presentation of her Climate and the Solar Magnetic Field hypothesis at the Global Warming Policy Foundation in October, 2018.

Zharkova models solar sunspot and magnetic activity. 

Her models have run at a 93% accuracy and her findings suggest a Super Grand Solar Minimum could begin in 2020.

A Super Grand Solar Minimum would have four magnetic fields out of phase. There was about 40-60 years of cold weather 350 years ago. 

This was a Maunder Minimum of lower solar activity. 

...Zharkova believes the warming models are including the warming effect of increased solar activity. 

If she is correct there would be cooling and the warming models would be wrong.

University-designed app helps math teachers check 'implicit bias'

• Researchers at SDSU and MSU developed an app intended to help schoolteachers combat their own “implicit biases.” 
• The app allows teachers to input students identity traits to keep track of participation.

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University have created a new app meant to help schoolteachers combat their own “implicit biases.”

The application is called EQUIP (Equity Quantified in Participation), and monitors individual student participation in order to “help teachers be more intentional when eliciting participation and responding to student ideas,” in order to build more “equitable classrooms.”...

CA Democrat State Senator Announces Using ‘He/She’ Pronouns Will Be Banned During Hearings | Weasel Zippers
"All the other problems in California have been solved.

Via Daily Wire:

California knows no bounds when it comes to radical LGBT activism. On Thursday, State Senator and Senate Judiciary Committee chair Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) announced that only “gender neutral” pronouns will be permitted during committee hearings.

“Our first order of business is to approve the committee rules. I’d like to note — in respecting the fact that we are now a state recognizing the non-binary designation as a gender — he and she, we are now merging them so we are using what my grammar teacher would have had a heart attack over: we are using the phrase ‘they’ and replacing other designations so it’s a gender neutral designation: ‘they’” announced the Democrat. “Basically, that’s the primary reforms and revisions to the committee rules.”...
