Not one of their computer models is as accurate as the solar cycle, but they refuse to accept the solar cycle model because it doesn’t give them the answer they want.

I love Paris too, but not ready to go back. The street scenes I have seen scare me. The setting cars on fire. The terrorist attacks. I’ll pass on London, Brussels, Paris, and Stockholm.

Is history repeating itself?

Maybe so. Consider these quotes from "The Russian Revolution" by Alan Moorehead 1958

"… this was a predatory state which the Czar and a small group of noblemen and bureaucrats ruled for their own exclusive benefit...The ruling group owned all the wealth, enjoyed all the privileges and monopolized all the political power, and it did not intend to give up any of its prerogatives. It considered the peasants to be little better than animals..."

Macron arrogantly lectures the French about moral values while stealing from them in the name of a better future.

That’s not what I want to hear from a politician - that’s its my fault I don’t get it.

If they aren’t “good Communists” then the media considers them right-wingers.

Honestly, leftist politicians just do not realize that people do not want to pay taxes, no matter how much free stuff you promise them.

The “gilet jaunes” are a sort of safety reflecting belt uniform the government handed to car drivers.

The fascism of ecology and collectivist public transport has basically created an army reminiscent of those wearing the yellow star.

it wasn’t only the rural folks.

30,000 were expected in Paris the second weekend, but Macron’s police had orders and the official Government figure ended up being 8,000 in Paris, 106,000 around the country. you could probably double those figures nonetheless:

24 Nov: RFI France: Yellow Vests clash with police, curse Macron at Paris protest
By Tony Cross
A solid cordon of police sealed off the Champs Elysées and surrounding streets, leaving the Place de la Concorde, opposite the French parliament, eerily empty.
They’ve blocked everything off!” exclaimed one of a group of young men striding down the Tuileries Gardens. “We can’t get through. We can’t tell them what we want to tell them. They’ve closed all the metro stations. They don’t want us to speak up.”...

What about the government’s claim the tax increases are needed to fight climate change.
“That’s crap,” said Daniel...

“...federal climate report...”

How did it get classed as that? Sad that the US Gov’t is so infiltrated by demonkkkRATs and libtards as to allow that BS to get published under USGov auspices.

Police deployed over 5,000 tear gas grenades and water cannons against the protesters, who donned yellow jackets for the second weekend in a row.

...Including women and children?

classic Trump. BBC includes tons of gloBULL warming propaganda as usual:

26 Nov: VIDEO: BBC: Trump on climate change report: ‘I don’t believe it’
US President Donald Trump has cast doubt on a report by his own government warning of devastating effects from climate change.
Asked outside the White House about the findings that unchecked global warming would wreak havoc on the US economy, he said: “I don’t believe it.”...

Mr Trump said other countries must take measures to cut their emissions.
“You’re going to have to have China and Japan and all of Asia and all these other countries, you know, it [the report] addresses our country,” he said.
“Right now we’re at the cleanest we’ve ever been and that’s very important to me.
“But if we’re clean, but every other place on Earth is dirty, that’s not so good.
“So I want clean air, I want clean water, very important.”...
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46351940

it isn’t exactly a Trump Admin report, BBC, and you know it, so why not report the full facts?

24 Nov: Voice of America: White House Says Dire Climate Report Based on ‘Extreme Scenario’
White House Bureau Chief Steve Herman contributed to this report.
White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters noted that work on the assessment began under the administration of former U.S. president Barack Obama and uses multiple modeling scenarios to assess the effects of climate change. But the report issued Friday, according to Walters, relies too heavily on the worst-case-scenario.

“The report is largely based on the most extreme scenario, which contradicts long-established trends by assuming that, despite strong economic growth that would increase greenhouse gas emissions, there would be limited technology and innovation, and a rapidly expanding population,” Walters said in a statement.

She said the next climate assessment, which will be prepared over the next four years, will “provide for a more transparent and data-driven process that includes fuller information on the range of potential scenarios and outcomes.”

Walters also pointed out that, since 2005, carbon dioxide emissions related to energy production in the U.S. have declined 14 percent, while global emissions continue to rise...

The disconnect between our wannabe overlords and normal people (i.e. anyone who isn't a wannabe dictator) is amazing, no? Wanna bet that that Senator doesn't live in a part of the country that is like a sauna in summer? Also, notice how often they speak of what we, the "peasants", should or should not be allowed to enjoy.

Gosh, appears it's time to drag out the ole 'We're All Gonna Die Without Global Central Planning & Increased Taxation' fake-science climate hysteria, again, this time in a French riots story.

Here's what a correctly maintained temperature station looks like (notice temps declining, on chart at right):

And, here is a poorly-maintained temperatures-gathering station, notice it is situated next to multiple heat sources - voila!, 'Global Warming' (this faulty-data gathering problem is *COMMON* for a MAJORITY of the weather stations used across the US!):
