New Study: A Massive Cooling Of 2�C In 8 Years (2008-2016) Has Jolted Large Regions Of The North Atlantic

• From 2008 to 2016 a widespread cooling ranging from 0.6°C to more than 2.0°C has chilled effectively the entire oceanic region from E. Canada to N. Iceland to S. Europe. 
• The cooling persists year-round and extends from the surface down to depths of 800 m.

A year ago scientists revealed a large swath of the North Atlantic surface had cooled at a rate of -0.78°C per decade between 2004 and 2017 (Fröb et al., 2019).

The cooling has recently sprawled into the Arctic regions, as the upper ocean waters in Disko Bay (West Greenland) have just been hit with a ~2°C cooling since 2014 (Khazendar et al., 2019)...

Scalise: Dems Trying to Rig Process Against Bernie Again Because 'They Want to Quietly Embrace Socialism'

Scalise: Dems Trying to Rig Process Against Bernie Again Because 'They Want to Quietly Embrace Socialism':

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), a victim of politically motivated domestic terrorism nearly three years ago, warned of the dangers associated with Sen.

According to the Louisiana congressman, those supporting Sanders’ candidacy have a very different vision in mind for the country.

Sultan Knish: How the 'Interpreter' Scam Brought 75,000 Iraqis and Afghans to America

Sultan Knish: How the 'Interpreter' Scam Brought 75,000 Iraqis and Afghans to America
"The latest battle over Special Immigrant Visas pitted Stephen Miller, President Trump’s senior advisor, against the Pentagon.
The military brass was lobbying for 6,000 special immigrant visas for Iraqis who worked for American forces in the country.
These visas were once again billed as helping “interpreters”.
That’s a lot of interpreters considering that there were only 5,200 American troops in Iraq.
How could there be more Iraqi interpreters for American troops than there are troops?
The Special Immigrant Visa scam has been sold for over a decade...
...The truth is that the military brass has wrongly used the incentive of Special Immigrant Visas to recruit local personnel and cut costs by promising them resettlement in the United States. 
Considering the costs of resettling even the nicest Iraqi or Afghan families, it would have been cheaper to pay each of them a six-figure salary...."

Dear Resistance, listen to my lived totalitarian experience - you have no effing idea what you're talking about -

Dear Resistance, listen to my lived totalitarian experience - you have no effing idea what you're talking about -
"...Your identity is your argument; “You wouldn’t know what it’s like; you can’t tell me what I should think or feel”. 

...As a straight, white, Christian, right-wing, middle class male of European extraction I get told to shut up a lot. 

As you can imagine, this does not at all stop me from speaking out. 

The white privilege clearly makes me both uncontrollable and insufferable.

But if lived experience is indeed the be-all-end-all that the identarian left considers it to be, there is one area where my lived experience without a doubt shit all over the lived experience of the woke folk. 

Unlike all those among them who have been born and/or raised in the West and have zero or almost zero experience of living under anything other than a liberal democratic government (which is 99 per cent of them at least), I have lived the first 15 years of my life under the Soviet block-style communism, or “real socialism” as the Party used to call it. 

...I do know a difference or twenty-two between a totalitarian or authoritarian society and a Western democracy.

• To the celebrities and commentators, from Michael Moore to former security officials like John Brennan, who think the United States is on the brink of dictatorship,
• To all those who have compared Trump to Hitler,
• (And a special mention of those who really should know better – professional historians of the German and the Russian totalitarianism, like Timothy “Bloodlands” Snyder and Charles “Ordinary Men” Browning, who have been only too happy to – without quite comparing Trump to Hitler – talk about illiberal democracy, authoritarian leadership, and draw parallels between the 1930s Europe and the 2010s America),

you really have no idea, and I mean it with the greatest possible respect. 
Actually, I don’t.

Will Democrats Take Up Arms to Remove 'Dictator' Trump or Are They All Talk?

Will Democrats Take Up Arms to Remove 'Dictator' Trump or Are They All Talk?
"I want to know why you Democrats are such cowards that you have not yet launched another civil war to free America of the totalitarian nightmare of President Donald J. Trump. 

I mean, if he’s truly Hitler 2: Electric Boogeyman, then isn’t it your sacred duty to remove this cancer on our body politic with arms if necessary? 
...Your hero, Jerry Nadler, while on parole from the chocolate factory, told the Senate this about our elected president: "Only his will goes. He is a dictator. This must not stand and that is another reason he must be removed from office."
...But since this is a threat to our democracy, because Trump is a non-leftist dictator, aren’t you guys morally obligated to take action and remove him? 
...Go home to your mom’s basements, dorms, tacky urban apartments and billionaire mansions and get your guns and…
...And even Eric Swalwell can ...be in charge of chemical weapons and poison gas.
...Words actually mean something. 
“Dictator” means something, and a lot of Americans have had experience with real ones either before moving here or while deployed. 
So, the next time you pampered prisses want to spew your MSNBC-approved rhetoric, save it.
Pick up a weapon or shut the hell up."

The Carbon Offsetting Wild West | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

The Carbon Offsetting Wild West | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
"The Telegraph has an investigative report into carbon offsets today, unfortunately paywalled. For those who can access it, it is here.

The report claims that customers are at risk of being ripped off in a “Wild West” unregulated carbon market, and that in many cases the schemes may not be offsetting emissions at all.
It includes this video, which gives a glimpse into the abuse of the system.

Just to pick some of the points raised in the story, it is claimed that many offsetting projects which claim to prevent deforestation or plant trees have had the opposite effect. 

...Meanwhile studies have shown that around three quarters of projects do not provide any environmental gain because they would have happened anyway.

...If you chuck millions of pounds at developing countries no questions asked, you should not be surprised if they just take the money and carry on as before, looking after their own interest.

...And in many cases, the West is merely paying for things that would have been done anyway.

I have long held the view anyway that the whole offsetting industry is little more than a virtue signalling sham..."
