Toles vs. Achenbach, narrative vs. news
Tom Toles’ May 30 editorial cartoon shows a tornado devastating the “Trump Dept. Of Climate ‘Science.’”
But the front page news story by Joel Achenbach and Jason Samenow the same day reaffirms the finding of the UN IPPC that tornados cannot be attributed to global warming.
The latest UN review was clear: tornado rates, rates of hurricanes, floods, droughts, and sea-level rise, have not changed in the era of industrial carbon dioxide. Such misinformation as Toles’ is precisely why president Trump’s NSC Director of Emerging Technologies Will Happer is promoting a necessary review of the climate crisis narrative.

Politically Left Scientist Dissents – Calls President Obama ‘delusional’ on global warming
Climate Statistics Professor Dr. Caleb Rossiter of American University: ‘Obama has long been delusional on this issue. Anyone who believes we are in a climate catastrophe, I think is deluding themselves.’
Rossiter on his conversion to a climate skeptic: ‘You are very isolated on the Democratic Party on the left — one is, I am — for having this conclusion of analysis…I would say since 2004, I’ve been very lonely. I’ve been lonely working on the Hill for the Democratic Party.’
Rossiter on Gore’s film: ‘I think it’s a wonderful teaching tool because it shows how we don’t do science. Gore’s irresponsible.’
On Gore winning the Nobel: ‘Worst Nobel Prize for peace since Henry Kissinger.’
Rossiter: ‘My blood simply boils too hot when I read the blather, daily, about climate catastrophe. It boggles the mind that I could be certain that I know what caused a half degree (C) rise in the last hundred fifty years. It’s simply not large enough to find a physical cause.’
