In yesterday’s EPA confirmation hearing, Bernie Sanders started out lying about climate, and then escalated his lies further and further :
97 percent of scientists who have written articles for peer reviewed journals have concluded that climate change is real, it is caused by human activity, and it is already causing devastating problems in our country and around the world.
97 percent of the scientists who wrote articles in peer reviewed journals believe that human activity is the fundamental reason we are seeing climate change.
(the) overwhelming majority of scientists say we have got to act boldly
None of Bernie’s claims had any basis in fact, which is par for the course for progressives. With only 26 hours left to their scam, people whose living depends on the climate scam are massively ramping up the lies.
How 2016 Became Earth’s Hottest Year on Record – The New York Times
Global warming is indeed man-made. By fraudsters at NOAA and NASA who keep changing their data to make the past cooler and the present warmer. Based on the NASA temperature data from the year 2000 and satellite data since then, there has been no more than 0.6C warming since the middle of the 18th century. NASA shows more than twice that much warming now, due to their abuse of data.
I asked this Bernie voter why Making America Great Again is f*cked up. He said “Trump doesn’t believe in climate change“
Only 25 hours now until this scam ends.
It’s going to take a lot longer, especially since a multi-billion dollar industry depends on it.
Multi-billion?
Try multi-Trillion. It’s coming up on two trillion per year.
97% of climate scientologists are afraid, very afraid.
I should have said yuuge industry.
I can’t help thinking that the kind of people that thought that way 30-40 years ago would have satisfied their need for fake fears and anxieties by watching soap operas.
Now they get their fix from FAKE NEWS.
The way Senator Markey was played by Pruitt in the hearings was brilliant! Markey asked Pruitt if he believes that climate change is a hoax, and Pruitt replied, “I do not believe climate change is a hoax”. Markey was so pleased with himself and this immaterial answer that he had no further questions.
These leftists are insanely ignorant, and I can’t wait for the grown ups to take control tomorrow.
One possible gray cloud…at least questionable.
In yesterday’s confirmation hearing, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) asked EPA nominee Scott Pruitt, “Do you agree that global warming is a hoax?” to which Pruitt responded, “I do not.” Apparently, Pruitt had previously done exactly that – called it a hoax.
Hopefully, he will approach the EPA’s tenure that in fact AGW is unquestionably a hoax!

See my comment above.
It’s more of a scam than a hoax.
B I N G O !
I’ve been saying that for some time. And it’s the Green Mob, not some unorganized blob.
Yes, and it’s a green mob that lines its own pockets with HUGE amounts of cash:’

He could have said that it depends on what your definition of “is” is.
I thought the question was: “Do you believe that climate change is a hoax?”
The climate changes all the time. AGW is the issue. He gave the correct answer.
Never thought it was hoax – it’s a bandwagon, which is much more insidious.
It is not a hoax, as there has been a little bit of warming. But it is far from being a looming catastrophe.
@ Andy DC. ^^^ This.
Egregious exaggeration is the green blobs stock in trade. They’ve taken next to nothing and transformed it into imminent catastrophe. To that extent, they’re lying, and they know they are.
Mr Trump, please start draining the climate swamp.
Andy DC, do you attribute the “little bit of warming” to CO2?
The “little bit” of warming from CO2 began billions of years ago. The saturation point has been reached long ago and more CO2 will make no difference.
The little bit of warming has come ONLY from El Nino events.
They are NOTHING TO DO WITH CO2
There is absolutely no CO2 warming signal in either of the satellite temperature data.
Bernie Sanders and the 97%
Rank all the Senators in order of smarts and this man will be below 97%. The Ed and Jeff, below, may be with him there at the bottom, although there are many I don’t know much about. So, this is a guess, or in today’s use of acronyms – a WAG.

Jeff Merkley OR

As Bill Clinton might ask: “What is the definition of hoax?”
Wikipedia says: “A hoax is a deliberately fabricated falsehood made to masquerade as the truth.[1] It is distinguishable from errors in observation or judgment,[1] rumors, urban legends, pseudosciences and April Fools’ Day events that are passed along in good faith by believers or as jokes.[2]”
In that light, I can think that it is not a hoax.
Money making FRAUD not a hoax
CAGW is a fraud that produces nothing but poverty. It does not produce a single penny of wealth and instead acts as a short circuit across the advancement and wealth of an entire civilization.
I like ‘fraud.’ Fraud is good.
Some of the fraudsters have been quite innovative. Example, the folks in Spain using diesel generators to shine lights at night on solar panels.
Where there is lots of money, there will be innovators.
I hope someone does a summary.
The Northern Irish have been pulling a similar stunt, heating farmyard barns with ‘green’ energy and being paid a rebate of 160% of their heating bills! One farmer was expecting to become a millionaire on the back of it.
The woman responsible for the nonsense has refused point-blank to take responsibility and resign which has now brought the government down. Now an election looms. A monumental clusterfuck.
It’s a crime against humanity. We need a new nuremberg trial.
That too!!!
Millions have died equivalent to what happen in Germany.
Trump obviously won’t pursue the climate change agenda as aggressively as Obama has, but my question is whether he will have the balls to roll back the regulations that are now in place and whether he will have the nerve to lop off heads at places like NOAA and NASA.
Whether his people will have the nerve to expose and revise all of this “hottest year ever” misinformation (plus LOTS of other misinformation about Greenland, sea level rise, polar bears, etc.), also deconstruct all of the phony “hockey stick” charts now in place.
Whether his people will expose the fraud regarding siting and calibration of thermometers at NWS stations, also revise or eliminate the fraudulent data sets that are coming from those stations.
Whether his people will inform the public about all the beneficial things going on with the climate that no one wants to talk about, like fewer hurricanes, fewer tornadoes, repeated record crops, fewer wildfires, less drought, fewer 100 degree days, great skiing, etc, etc. That the environmental extremists are trying to fix something that is not broken at the cost of $trillions, loss of freedom, and a much lower standard of living.
Would make good talking points for an upcoming Trump speech. Perhaps tomorrow would be too soon for that, but I would not be disappointed to hear that.
Perhaps t,he State of the Union…
Trump’s first concern is to get the economy jump started. He has put out a list of the items he wants done in the first hundred days.
Do not expect to actually hear much about what else is happening. Trump will probably wave the border wall at the MSM to keep their attention away from what he is actually up to.
There is a whole heck of a lot that can be done WITHOUT Congress. First rescind all of Obummers E.Os and a heck of a lot of others.
For example it was an EXECUTIVE ORDER that allowed federal employees to unionize. That can be revoked.
Trump is VERY good at firing people so expect a major cleaning out of the various departments. Federal employees have been a protected species for the last 50 years and they have gotten VERY sloppy. AKA porn on gov’t computers… I think you will see deadbeat employees leaving in droves to avoid getting fired and possibly losing their pensions and other bennies. The optics of The Apprentice will be stuck in their brains and a few high profile firings with jail attached will go a long way to help them along. I am sure Jeff Sessions already has a few scarificial goats picked out.
It is CONGRESS that writes laws and it is the Admin. under the president that IMPLEMENTS them. ALL of the federal bureaucracy is part of the administrative branch. Trump can give order that his Admin ‘rewrite’ and simplify (aka as in repeal) ALL the regs now in the federal register.
That will keep a ton of bureaucrats busy for the next four years.
We haven’t heard about any homeless people, but that will change come noon Friday. I wouldn’t be surprised if the lies about record low un-employment, would shortly after the change of POTUS be modified. And when many federal employees start losing their jobs, some will claim that they are part of the reason for the rapidly escalating joblessness claims.
I fully expect the press and media to continue to lie for all they are worth, about everything that Trump does or does not do. This will slowly end as one by one they go out of business. I am hoping that at least one network will actually make changes and start doing what they were supposed to be doing all along, but I am fully prepared to be disappointed.
I realize that Trump can’t use a river the way Hercules did to clean things up in only a day and I don’t have any expectation that he can fix everything that BHO messed up. But after Trump takes office, I will be more hopeful about the future of this country than I have been in a long long time.
My feelings too. I thought I was watching my country slowly bleed to death at the hands of our traitorous leaders.
Is this the first time in history where the leaders of a country deliberatelly colluded together to destroy their own nation?
…and of course, I agree with both of you
I can’t watch it any more, and don’t. I’m even weaning myself off of internet news.
It has already started. 9News reports that Denver is buying one-way Greyhound tickets out of town for its street people, e.g. $222 to San Diego. The residents of the Democrat-run city have been assured that if these travelers return to Denver, they will not get another ticket.

Ditto.
FYI Tony, I’ve been replying to specific comments, yet when I hit submit, it posts as a reply to someone else’s; in most cases rendering the comment completely out of place. Perhaps this happens to others ? And is some glitch with the service which can be rectified ? Thx, GW
Or perhaps several replies were updated simultaneously, and mine was further down the list.
GW,
Your best bet is to use a name and a phrase or a time stamp to indicate who you are addressing.
Other wise it can get rather confusing.

Trump on Energy: Donald Trump Energy Policy Speech at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference, Montana
Trump called CAGW bullsh!t. He KNOWS what the connection between energy and economy is and he will fight for plentiful and cheap energy. He has also said he is not paying the UN. That is why Obummer just shipped off $$$ to the UN (It also buys Obummer a ‘place’ in the UN)
As I said at WUWT regard their Arctic interpolations that were required to make this year .01° hotter than last:
At first look the Arctic interpolations looks like pure bs. As do ALL their other data manipulations that in almost every case conveniently cools the past and warms the present. Worst for them is that in a private email the Chicken Littles were exposed as willfully desiring to manipulate the temperature record to further their leftist cause:
Lo and behold, after that email … THE “BLIP” WAS REMOVED!
These ideologically driven doomsayers are guilty as sin. It was warmer in the 1930s. There’s no global warming.
Their temperature record is pure garbage. So is their endless fear-mongering. Over and over again the top alarmists have been caught telling their acolytes that they all should offer pure lies in shameless fear-mongering:
Their data is lies. Their scare-mongering about the future is lies.
100%

Yeah, what a coincidence that the last couple of ‘hottest ever’ years have beaten each of the previous years by a huge margin of 0.01 or 0.02C. Easy as pie to fudge such an irrelevant amount but crucially it delivered the required screaming MSM headlines, and that was all that mattered. Gotta keep the people terrified of the big bad monster.

here’s the ACTUAL numbers on papers:
99.7% of 11,944 climate science papers did NOT say CO2 caused most global warming since 1950. Only 0.3% did. [Legates et al. (2013)]
————
The basis for the consensus claim is this: In a landmark survey of 10,257 Earth Scientists, 96.2% (76 scientists), out of 2.5% (79 scientists) selected from the 30.7% (3146 scientists) who responded, agreed that it’s “generally” warmer now than it was in the 1700s at the depths of the Little Ice Age. [in other words a non sequitur and unrelated to ‘proof’ of AGW]
—————————
31,487 American scientists have signed a petition that clearly states that mankind’s contribution to changing climate is not proven, including 9,029 with PhDs.

Asking “Climate Scientists” the clergy of the Church of Warming whether they believe in manmdae global warming would be like asking evangelical preachers whether they beleive in the virgin birth.
You can say that again!
Asking “Climate Scientists” the clergy of the Church of Warming whether they believe in man made global warming would be like asking evangelical preachers whether they believe in the virgin birth.
Very disappointed in Rick Perry’s performance yesterday. Sounded like Algore in answering Marxist questions on environment.
“NASA shows more than twice that much warming now, due to their abuse of data.”
….the abuse is that of Power, data is just the weapon.
you can always tell if you are chatting with a room temperature IQ moron about weather and climate. If they use words like “climate denier” or “climate change” then you are in the presence of a moron using words they don’t really understand.
No one denies that the climate changes, but only morons believe mankind is the prime mover of climate change. Yet, the idiot class no longer says, “human caused” climate change, just “climate change”. That’s been a tell for years now.
