“[It’s] time we return to the type of fiscal discipline that democrats brought to Washington in the 90?s when democrats in the Congress and White House balanced the budget”
That was a Republican Congress, Harry. Democrats controlled Congress from 2006-2010, when unemployment and debt skyrocket.

Apparently they subscribe to the theory that history began sometime after 1950. Compare the drought in July, 1934 to the current one – in the blink map below. More than 80% of the US was experiencing severe to extreme drought that month, and temperatures were over 100 degrees for the entire country.
Brilliant research! Everyone knows that the reason North Dakota is full of lush green rainforests is because of the very consistent rainfall they receive year after year. North Dakota rainforests are even more lush than those found in Arizona.
This year, record amounts of snow and rainfall resulted in unprecedented flooding of the Souris and Missouri rivers, wreaking millions of dollars in damages in North Dakota towns like Minot and states throughout the Midwest. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers braced for crisis along the Souris on Father’s Day, with severe flooding setting in June 24. Last weekend the river crested, some areas reaching 14 feet above flood level.
With thousands of people displaced and homes swallowed by the river, it is hard to imagine the midwestern United States could soon be experiencing water shortages. But a paper published earlier this month in the journal Science, shows that in the coming years the trend will be toward uniformly increased temperatures and less snowfall in the north. The research was based on 66 tree-ring chronologies showing data back to the 1200s. Ultimately, this could result in lower peak streamflows in headwaters feeding the Missouri, Columbia and Colorado rivers.
“The past 30 years have been unusually warm across the northern Rockies compared to the last 800 years,” said Gregory Pederson, research ecologist for the U.S. Geological Survey and lead author of the paper. “What’s worrying is that it may indicate a point when we have generally synchronous decline [of snowpack] across the West.”

Out of control rent seekers posing as scientists have been making lots of claims of doomed industries over the last decade. Most notably the ski, wine and tourist industries.
In a sense they are correct. If their carbon taxes come to fruition, they will damage all of these industries. The industry which needs to be taken down is fraudulent climate science.
