Climate change skeptics run the Trump administration
politico.com ^ | 3/7/18 | Emily Holden

President Donald Trump is filling the upper ranks of his administration with appointees who share his disbelief in the scientific evidence for climate change — giving them an opportunity to impose their views on policies ranging from disaster planning to national security to housing standards.

At the Interior Department, decisions about Pacific island territories threatened by rising seas are in the hands of an assistant secretary who has criticized “climate alarmists” for “once again predicting the end of the world as we know it.” Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue’s top advisers include a former talk radio host who has dismissed much climate research as “junk science.” Trump’s nominee to head research and technology at the Department of Transportation claimed three years ago that global warming had “stopped” — a position at sharp odds with the findings of federal agencies like NASA.

We could read this as following:

President Donald Trump Obama is filling the upper ranks of his administration with appointees who share his disbelief in the scientific evidence for climate change — giving them an opportunity to impose their views on policies ranging from disaster planning to national security to housing standards.

I wonder where Politico was with this story.

Cool!
It's about freaking time some adults showed up!

Consensus is NOT science!
How many times do we have to tell you?

Dare anyone tell us exactly what the skeptics are skeptical of?

I am skeptical of the notion that man posses the ability to redirect the climate.

If you wish to amuse God tell him of your plans.

Desperately seeking Politico article from 2010, “Obama is filling the upper ranks of his administration with appointees who share his belief in the scientific evidence for climate change ...”

Searching ... No finds? Curious that!

God is in control of everything including everyone’s next breath. The scientists better get on board . . .or be “left behind”.

Let the lawsuits fly, if they have the courage. I'd happily throw their models, and instances of fraud up against by scads of climate scientists and real data to explain it clearly and convincingly to a judge and jury.... lay it all out on the table.

Jeez, I'd love to sit on that jury.

‘The White House sought to strike a somewhat more moderate tone in a statement to POLITICO on Monday, which said that “the climate has changed and is always changing.’

once they stopped calling it MANMADE GLOBAL WARMING and used the generic CLIMATE CHANGE in its place, the alarmists think they can get away with garbage such as the above.

no matter how often manmade global warming skeptics point out everyone knows there’s always been climate change, the alarmists - especially their gate-keepers in the FakeNewsMSM - make out anyone who questions the warming dogma in any way is CLIMATE DENIER (what?).

And this is a problem? Not for most of us Americans.

A Greenpeace canvasser came to my door awhile ago. I immediately said I wasn’t interested. When he followed up with seeking how I felt about Trump’s opening up Florida’s east coast to oil exploration I said, “I support it”. That ended the conversation.

At first the current stall out of global warming was due to the ocean cycles turning back to cold. But something much more ominous has developed over this period. Sunspots run in 11 year short term cycles, with longer cyclical trends of 90 and even 200 years. The number of sunspots declined substantially in the last 11 year cycle, after flattening out over the previous 20 years. But in the current cycle, sunspot activity has collapsed. NASA’s Science News report for January 8, 2013 states,

“Indeed, the sun could be on the threshold of a mini-Maunder event right now. Ongoing Solar Cycle 24 [the current short term 11 year cycle] is the weakest in more than 50 years. Moreover, there is (controversial) evidence of a long-term weakening trend in the magnetic field strength of sunspots. Matt Penn and William Livingston of the National Solar Observatory predict that by the time Solar Cycle 25 arrives, magnetic fields on the sun will be so weak that few if any sunspots will be formed. Independent lines of research involving helioseismology and surface polar fields tend to support their conclusion.”

And that is why all superpower nations have built underground cities. They are prepared for the upper crust to survive when this little pea gets hit by a super nova.

That is not why.

The Global Warming/Climate Change due to fossil fuels crap is all about getting YOUR MONEY so the that ruling elite can construct underground shelters and cities. They sure as hell aren't going to spend their own money on doing it as they want to spend that money having fun until the crisis emerges.

What crisis ?

The magnetic field that PROTECTS the Earth is getting weaker and destabilizing as it gets ready to 'flip'. We are already getting bombardments on the surface of Earth from COSMIC RAYS.

The magnetic field also 'guides' the jet stream. As it weakens, the jet stream patterns will change. We are already seeing this happen and getting 'unusual' weather in various places around the globe.

Eventually, this will have an effect on crops, and crop growing regions. When the reduced food supply crisis hits us, the ruling elite have plans to live underground. They also know that they are in danger if the starving peons have GUNS, and that is why they want to take them away from us.

Sound crazy ? Like Science Fiction ?

Everything stated above has already been proven, and these things are happening. They are depending on the 'public' not knowing about it until it's too late for us to do anything about it.

No one knows exactly how bad it will get, and if handled properly we could probably suffer minor losses.

BUT, the one thing the ruling elite are sure of is that people in large masses don't react well when the feces hit the fan. They are less worried about the damage to crops and more worried about a populace that thinks the world is coming to an end.
