Weather Channel Destroys Breitbart Over BS Climate Change Story</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">"Here's the thing: Science doesn't care
about your opinion."...A week after Breitbart News published a
wildly inaccurate article chalking climate change up as a hoax,
The Weather Channel decided to teach the hyper-conservative news
outlet a thing or two about scientific fact....In a post to its
website, TWC called the Breitbart piece, which relied heavily on
a story published in the Daily Mail, "a prime example of cherry
picking, or pulling a single item out of context to build a
misleading case."</font><br>

claims</a>, as well as a final message for its "friends" at

"The next time you write a climate change article and need fact

6 minutes In 2016, Arctic Sea Ice shrunk to the second lowest
minimum ever observed by humans. Scientists from NASA, NOAA, The
British Antarctic Survey, and major universities weigh in on
what the science says, how the ice keeps delivering surprises,
and what it means to us in the temperate zones.</font><br>

two most dangerous threats the human species faces today: the
possibility of nuclear war and the accelerating destruction of
human-fueled climate change. Chomsky also addressed the dangers
of Donald Trump's climate change denialism—and what it means for
the future of the human species ....<br>

class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>deniers such as
Christopher Monckton (a familiar name to Australians given his
multiple speaking tours here), Marc Morano and James
Delingpole.....<br>
One example. The most popular climate change story across social
media in the past six months was not some diligently researched
piece from one of the many very good science journalists writing
for major news organisations around the world...<br>
Rather, the story claimed that thousands of scientists had come
forward to declare that climate change was a hoax. The writer
was a guy running a website in Los Angeles who worked for eight
years for the UK conspiracy theorist David Icke....<br>
Icke thinks the moon might be some sort of spaceship, that the
world is controlled by a globalist illuminati and, yes, that
climate change is a hoax. Icke is a regular guest on Infowars...<br>
Infowars will often source material from Breitbart – the website
that used to be run by Trump’s campaign chairman and soon-to-be
chief strategist, Steve Bannon.<br>
Many of Breitbart’s most popular climate change items are
written by Delingpole, a British polemicist...<br>
Breitbart is also building its audience. According to data from
SimilarWeb, the site now gets 168m page views per month,
doubling its reach in the past six months....The Drudge Report –
the wildly popular conservative-leaning news aggregator site
with 1.7bn page views a month – also helps drive traffic to
sites such as Infowars and Breitbart. Its founder, Matt Drudge,
was another recent guest of Jones....<br>

Deniers’ Top 3 Tactics - (Tamino) </a></b></font><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">But man-made climate change is real, the
danger is extreme, so they have to use guile to persuade you
otherwise. There are three tried-and-false tactics they use
often, and to great effect. Let’s take a close look at these
misdirection methods, so you can arm yourself for defense
against the dark arts.</font><br>
<font size="-1">#3: REJECT THE DATA</font><br>
<font size="-1">#2: DISTRACT FROM THE TREND WITH FOCUS ON
FLUCTUATIONS</font><br>
<font size="-1">#1: CHERRY-PICKING</font><br>
<font size="-1">Climate deniers use these tactics because they
work. When they suggest that the temperature data are a fraud,
it raises your suspicions. When they point out a "sudden drop"
in temperature data while concealing the trend, it can be
persuasive. When you hear that Arctic sea ice is no more
extensive than it was on this date 24 years ago, it sounds
convincing. When you see temperature data on a graph starting in
1997-1998, it looks convincing...</font><br>
<font size="-1">...Even the best of us, even the smartest of us,
are all too easily fooled by misdirection (stage magicians can
use that fact to make a very good living). There’s no shame in
being fooled by a charlatan, we’ve all been taken in at one time
or another. My hope is that now that you’ve seen some of their
tricks, when you run into them the next time you’ll recognize
them for what they are: tricks.</font><br>
<font size="-1">Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice …</font><br>

of science in a way that if you don’t like the answer, you
attack the science. They’re trying to politicize science as
much as they possibly can. It worries me that somebody like
that can be leading a transition team."<br>

level rise story for quite a few years, and we originally met
when Jeff came along with the first Dark Snow Project field trip
in 2013. Since then I’ve followed and occasionally chatted with
Jeff, especially about developments in South Florida, one of the
most vulnerable and threatened regions of the planet.....</font><br>
<font size="-1">While working on this piece, I’ve shown raw
footage to friends, including journalists and regular folks –
and the universal reaction is, "Why isn’t this being reported?"
Well, that’s starting to happen.</font><br>

Decision to Not Grant Easement</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Treaties are paramount law and must be
respected, and we welcome dialogue on how to continue to honor
that moving forward. We are not opposed to energy independence,
economic development, or national security concerns but we must
ensure that these decisions are made with the considerations of
our Indigenous peoples....</font><br>
<font size="-1">To our local law enforcement, I hope that we can
work together to heal our relationship as we all work to protect
the lives and safety of our people. I recognize the extreme
stress that the situation caused and look forward to a future
that reflects more mutual understanding and respect....</font><br>
<font size="-1">Again, we are deeply appreciative that the Obama
Administration took the time and effort to genuinely consider
the broad spectrum of tribal concerns. In a system that has
continuously been stacked against us from every angle, it took
tremendous courage to take a new approach to our
nation-to-nation relationship, and we will be forever grateful.</font><br>

news tries to blame human-caused global warming on El Niño</a></b><br>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Human carbon pollution is heating the
Earth incredibly fast. On top of that long-term human-caused
global warming trend, there are fluctuations caused by various
natural factors. One of these is the El Niño/La Niña cycle. The
combination of human-caused warming and a strong El Niño event
are on the verge of causing an unprecedented three consecutive
record-breaking hot years. ...</font><br>
<font size="-1">...Simply put, without global warming we would not
be seeing record-breaking heat year after year. In fact, 2014
broke the temperature record without an El Niño assist, and then
El Niño helped push 2015 over 2014, and 2016 over 2015.</font><br>
<font size="-1">...Sadly, we live in a post-truth world dominated
by fake news in which people increasingly seek information that
confirms their ideological beliefs, rather than information
that’s factually accurate from reliable sources. Because people
have become incredibly polarized on the subject of climate
change, those with a conservative worldview who prefer
maintaining the status quo to the steps we need to take to
prevent a climate catastrophe often seek out climate
science-denying stories...</font><br>
<font size="-1">....Into that environment step conservative
columnists David Rose at the Mail on Sunday, parroted by Ross
Clark in The Spectator and James Delingpole for Breitbart, all
trying to blame the current record-shattering hot global
temperatures entirely on El Niño. Perhaps saddest of all, the
House Science, Space, and Technology Committee tweeted the
Breitbart piece, to which Senator Bernie Sanders appropriately
responded: " Where'd you get your PhD? Trump University?" <a

<font size="-1">A scientific study looking at how rainfall
patterns across the world might respond to rising average
global surface temperature has revealed an interesting result:
regional rainfall patterns won’t change by the same amount per
degree of global warming...</font><br>
<font size="-1">...it is essential to understand the
relationship between rising temperatures and rainfall
patterns. The traditional logic is that each degree of
planetary warming produces about the same level of regional
change...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"However, our paper challenges current thinking.
Our team shows that the regional rainfall impacts between 2° C
and 4° C could be somewhat different than the regional impacts
between 0° C and 2° C for some regions."..</font><br>
<font size="-1">..The paper also reveals an interesting second
result. It suggests that regardless of the speed at which we
might approach 2° C global warming, the rainfall changes would
be broadly similar – for example if we were to reach that
level quickly via high emissions, or more slowly using
mitigation measures....</font><br>
<font size="-1">...The paper – <em>Large differences in
regional precipitation change between a first and second 2K
of global warming</em> - has been written by a team of
researchers from: the Met Office; <a
