Canada’s global warming models threw out actual historical data and substituted models of what the temperature should have been

Canada’s global warming models threw out actual historical data and substituted models of what the temperature should have been
"Environment Canada, led by Justin Trudeau-appointed Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, is all-in on the hypothesis that manmade global warming is an existential threat to humanity. 
It is so important to hand control of energy use to the government that mere actual, historical data that might raise doubt about the extent of purported warming over time must be thrown out and replaced by “models” of what the “scientists” think the historical temperature record must have been.

In other words, the computer models Canada uses to measure and project “global warming” are themselves based on other computer models.  
The expression “Garbage in / garbage out” refers to the vulnerability of all computer models to poor quality data used as the basis of their calculations.  
The raises the awkward question of the quality of the models used in place of actual historical data. 
And it raises the question of why this scrapping of actual data and substituting of guesses (aka, models) was not made clear from the outset..."

Electrical power in Australia — from success to failure

Electrical power in Australia — from success to failure
"Our grandfathers built a low-cost reliable decentralized electricity supply for all states of Australia based mainly on black and brown coalfields — Blair Athol, Callide, Ipswich, Sydney/Newcastle, Yallourn, Leigh Creek, and Collie.
...Coal and hydro gave Australia reliable low-cost electricity that was the envy of the world and supported primary, secondary, and tertiary industries.
...All that changed with the U.N.-initiated climate war on coal and gas, which drove a campaign of tax-delay-and-destroy hydrocarbon energy.
...Green energy was mollycoddled with subsidies, mandates, and propaganda, and electricity supply was polluted by a rash of intermittent wind and solar plants with no backups.  
These caused such variability and unreliability in electricity supply that the successful state-based decentralized electricity networks were replaced by a costly interconnected Eastern States grid.  Transmission costs rose sharply because of guaranteed returns on inflated capital for interstate, undersea, and the scattered wind-solar connections.  
Electricity costs soared, reliability suffered, and Australian industry closed or moved to Asia..."

RNC Calls On Biden To Release Transcripts Of Discussions He Had With Ukraine While Vice President | The Daily Caller

A despicable lie!-----Adam Schiff Invents Transcript Of Trump Call With Ukraine President

Adam Schiff Invents Transcript Of Trump Call With Ukraine President:

"The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., made up his own version of a transcript between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart to fit the false narrative being peddled by Democrats and many in the media to frame the president for a crime that never happened.

In his opening statement at a congressional hearing featuring acting Department of National Intelligence Director Joseph Maguire, Schiff gave a fictional retelling of the conversation between the two leaders.

Here is what Schiff said:

"And what is the President’s response — well it reads like a classic organized crime shake down. In essence, what the President Trump communicates is this: We’ve been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what, I don’t see much reciprocity here. You know what I mean? I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of dirt, on this and on that. I’m going to put you in touch with people, and not just any people. I’m going to put you in touch with the Attorney General of the United States — my Attorney General, Bill Barr — he’s got the whole weight of American law enforcement behind him. And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy, you’re going to love him. Trust me. You know what I’m asking, so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked."

The actual transcript says no such thing. 

The “favor” in question was Trump seeking assistance with the Department of Justice’s probe into the 2016 election meddling by Ukraine..."

"Confused by what’s real and what’s a hoax or a flat-out lie?

Make no mistake, there are a LOT more.

The Left brainwashes kids with this climate change lunacy then throws them onto the front lines of the policy debate as human shields, because you can’t criticize kids (but you must listen to them!)

People who don’t see this garbage tactic for what it is are dumb or dishonest.

Ban All the Red Hats? | Power Line

Ban All the Red Hats? | Power Line
“Fascist” is a word that gets tossed around a lot these days, almost always inappropriately...

Which brings me to this Rasmussen Reports survey. 
The question was asked:
A suggestion has been made to ban all red caps in America because pro-Trump Make America Great hats are red and cause anxiety among anti-Trump Americans. Do you favor or oppose the banning of red caps in America?
The results:

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 14% of American Adults favor the banning of red caps in America. Seventy percent (70%) are opposed, but another 17% are undecided.

Could it possibly be true that 14% of Americans favor banning red hats, and another 17% can’t make up their minds? 31% in total?
...Many college students are taught that anything that makes them uncomfortable, anxious or frightened constitutes “violence” and can properly be prohibited. 

Are we seeing in this poll result the fruits of such absurd teachings?...

New Genderfluid Dolls Emit Blast Of Pepper Spray, Alert Authorities When Children Use Wrong Pronoun | The Babylon Bee
EL SEGUNDO, CA—Mattel announced an exciting new line of gender-neutral dolls recently, causing progressives to praise the company and conservatives to foam at the mouth and demand a safe space.
But there's one feature of the dolls that hasn't yet been discussed: according to a Mattel insider, the dolls will emit a powerful blast of pepper spray and alert authorities if your child refers to the doll with the wrong pronoun.
An early, limited-release of the doll has already employed this feature several dozen times. Cleveland five-year-old Maddy Paulson excitedly picked up her doll and said, "This girl is so pretty. I want to play with her!"
Immediately, the doll's eyes turned red and its head swiveled slowly toward Paulson's face.
"DID YOU SAY 'HER'?"...

‘You Are Willfully Blind’: Lindsey Graham Blasts The Double Standard On Trump, Ukraine And Biden | The Daily Caller:

Massive & Endless Subsidies: The Only Thing That Makes Wind Power ‘Sustainable’ – STOP THESE THINGS

Massive & Endless Subsidies: The Only Thing That Makes Wind Power ‘Sustainable’ – STOP THESE THINGS
"Cut the subsidies and the wind industry would disappear overnight. 
Warren Buffett put it best: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” 
Precisely!!

Wind power makes absolutely no sense at any level: environmental, social or economic.
In short, wind power is worse than useless, and there is an appalling price to pay for the lunatic notion that a nation can be powered by breezes.
Paul Driessen tackles the topic in superb style in this essay.

Sustainability: Ideology versus Reality (Part II: Wind Turbines)
"Mandated, subsidized wind energy requires millions of acres for turbines and ultra-long transmission lines, plus billions of tons of concrete, steel, copper, rare earth metals and fiberglass. The turbines produce intermittent, unreliable electricity that (absent subsidies) costs much more than coal or gas-fueled electricity – and must be backed by fossil fuel generators that must go from standby to full-power many times a day, very inefficiently, every time the wind stops blowing..."
