We are now into 17 years of basically no change in global temperature, confounding all the climate scientists who deeply hoped, in an anti-human way, for a cataclysm of rapid global heating. So, obviously all the mathematical models they used to predict a rapid heating were wrong. The models can’t even back-predict weather that has already happened, it turns out.

But once again, we have a National Climate Assessment predicting doom and gloom, and that assessment is based on the above-styled mathematical models that have been proved to not work! So the report is not scientific; it’s political. And the Herald is taking, without asking any questions, the report at its face value. Where is our objective watchdog media? They seem to be carrying water for a single political party.

Obama simply wants to use this bogus climate report to once again shout, “This is an emergency, so I will take executive action and override our democratic processes!” The Herald should editorialize more about usurpation of legislative powers by Obama than it should join with the sky-is-falling crowd.
