Models Can't Predict Next Week's Weather, But We Trust Them On Climate Change? | Climate Dispatch

"It’s curious … SpaceX has all the money in the world, and they didn’t hire someone who could have accurately predicted the afternoon weather in Florida on May 27, 2020.
It seems like a huge oversight, doesn’t it?
And to think there are scores of nonprofit leaders and academics in Washington, DC, who can accurately predict global temperatures 10, 15, even 50 years into the future.
...No one “knew” the weather would cancel the SpaceX flight, but rather scientists used data to make the best-educated guess which is part of the scientific method we learned about in third grade.
And similarly, no one “knows” what will happen to the earth in 5, 10, 15, 50 years because of climate change.
So quite frankly I’m tired of hearing about it...

George Floyd Protests: Police Shooting “Epidemic” of Unarmed Black Men Is Fiction | National Review
"Rioters and their enablers claim that the present disorder is justified by an epidemic of police shootings of unarmed black men.
Image result for Roland Fryer police violence,But no such epidemic exists.
...We are asked to believe that the beatings and the violence are the only recourse available to beleaguered people who have time and again been denied justice by the civil authorities.
Some say that this is the comeuppance due to a society that subjugates its people, that the immolated AutoZone and the burgled Target are monuments to our neglect. 
...But the rioters and looters and their apologists are advancing a more specific claim still: that Floyd’s death is not just an individual tragedy worthy of particular outrage, but part of an epidemic of lethal violence perpetrated against unarmed black men by police officers.
That such tragedies happen with startling frequency.
That black men cannot leave the house without getting shot by racist cops.
“It’s important to be here today because we’re dying,” one protester told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“It’s an epidemic.”
This is not supported by the data...

"A teen murder suspect in the slaying of Barnard College student Tessa Majors is expected to plead guilty Wednesday for his involvement in her botched mugging death, according to an official.
Zyairr Davis, 13, has admitted to helping Luchiano Lewis, 15, and Rashaun Weaver, 15, rob the 18-year-old college freshman in Morningside Park in December, but has denied being the one who stabbed her.
Lewis allegedly put Majors in “a bear hug or headlock” during the robbery, while Weaver allegedly stabbed her with such fury that feathers flew from her winter coat, authorities have alleged.
The pair were arrested in February some two months after Davis...

Dr. Alberto Zangrillo, the head of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan — one of the areas in Italy hardest hit by COVID-19 — explained the evolution of the virus is extremely positive.
"In reality, the virus clinically no longer exists in Italy," Zangrillo told RAI television, Reuters reported.

Pollak: The Riots Began With Obama's Embrace of Occupy Wall Street

Pollak: The Riots Began With Obama's Embrace of Occupy Wall Street:

Image result for Flickercommons images ObamaThe chaos currently running amok on America’s streets began with President Barack Obama’s embrace of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the fall of 2011, shared by then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other Democrats.
Occupy Wall Street was the left’s response to the Tea Party movement, which had carried Republicans back to power in the House in the 2010 midterm elections, abruptly ending what Democrats believed would be 40 years of dominance after Obama’s sweeping victory in 2008.
But whereas the Tea Party was law-abiding and grounded in constitutional principles. Occupy Wall Street proudly violated the law and called for the destruction of the entire economic system.

In case you don't know this "gentleman"-----George Soros: We’re now in ‘revolutionary moment’ that allows us to achieve the ‘inconceivable’ | News | LifeSite

See the source imageGeorge Soros: We’re now in ‘revolutionary moment’ that allows us to achieve the ‘inconceivable’ | News | LifeSite
"(LifeSiteNews) – Left-wing billionaire George Soros has indicated that the coronavirus pandemic paves the way for societal changes previously thought impossible, calling it “the crisis of my lifetime.” 
Soros had lived through the Second World War as a youth.
“Even before the pandemic hit, I realized that we were in a revolutionary moment where what would be impossible or even inconceivable in normal times had become not only possible, but probably absolutely necessary,” he said during an interview on May 11.
...In the course of the interview, Soros again talked about his idea of having the EU issue perpetual bonds, which he called Consols...would finance the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as climate change.
...Soros is a prolific financier of left-wing causes throughout the United States and around the world, including abortion, euthanasia, population control, same-sex “marriage,” transgenderism, and more.
His Open Society Foundations spend almost $1 billion annually in 100 different countries, including $150 million per year funding the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the leading abortion company Planned Parenthood, and other liberal groups.
He invested $5.1 million in a super PAC dedicated to funding groups working against Trump’s re-election; and is an aggressive supporter of the European Union who has spent money in hopes of influencing the elections of multiple European nations.
In January, he announced the launch of an international network for educational institutions for the purpose of advancing his interpretation of “democratic values” and combating the rise of “nationalism.”
