Study by UN IPCC lead author Michael Oppenheimer claimed that "global warming" will lead to "mass migration to the U.S." due to alleged future lower crop yields in Mexico by 2080

But wait!

Climate activist Bill McKibben in the LA times claimed that the influx of immigration to the U.S. will REDUCE "global warming" because the new immigrants "would have fewer children" and as a bonus the new immigrants would be LESS likely to "pull the [election] lever for climate deniers."

'We never hear the absence of extreme weather analysed.' Is 'global warming' causing less 'extreme weather?!' 

How Do They Explain 'The Extreme Weather Events That Did Not Happen'

Here are the key facts via climate analyst Paul Homewood: 

'US land falling hurricanes have been at record low levels in recent years, and it is now more than ten years since a major hurricane hit.'

'There has been a long-term decline in both the number of tornadoes, and particularly, the frequency of stronger ones.'

'Droughts were much more commonplace, prolonged and severe prior to the 1970s.'

'There is no indication of precipitation becoming more extreme. The wettest year was 1973.'

'There has been a marked absence of extreme heatwaves in recent years, and nothing approaches the run of intensely hot summers in the 1930s.'

Big Hollywood Funded Prof. Michael Oppenheimer: "I have been attacked plenty, but we are all...People who want to disagree with me, they will say things like I worked for EDF (Environmental Defense Fund)...Barbra Streisand, once gave EDF a few hundred thousand to support my work, and then it's like so what?"

Scientist to the Hollywood Stars: UN IPCC’s Michael Oppenheimer ‘was the holder of the ‘Barbra Streisand Chair of Environmental Studies’ at Environmental Defense Fund’

'As Marc Morano at Climate Depot confirms, la Streisand has indeed been a hugely influential figure in the global climate alarmist movement.'

Reality Check: Sen. Inhofe's assertions are correct and backed by evidence. Streisand admitted key climate role and gave at least a quarter of a million dollars to fund the climate activism of a lead author of the UN IPCC.

Streisand: 'My Foundation started supporting climate change work in 1989, when I donated a quarter of a million dollars to support the work of environmental scientist Dr. Michael Oppenheimer at EDF. Since then, I, and others have spent countless millions on this issue.'

Reality Check: Sen. Inhofe is exactly correct. Streisand is part of global warming activism. Barbra Steisand funded lead author UN IPCC scientist Dr. Michael Oppenheimer while he was at Environmental Defense Fund. Streisand has been a key player in climate change activism.

Borenstein: In the more than two decades since world leaders first got together to try to solve global warming, life on Earth has changed, not just the climate. It's gotten hotter, more polluted with heat-trapping gases, more crowded and just downright wilder. Global temperature: up six-tenths of a degree. Population: up 1.7 billion people. Sea level: up 3 inches. U.S. extreme weather: up 30 percent. Ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica: down 4.9 trillion tons of ice.  "Simply put, we are rapidly remaking the planet and beginning to suffer the consequences," says Michael Oppenheimer, of Princeton University. Diplomats from more than 190 nations opened talks Monday at a United Nations global warming conference in Lima, Peru, to pave the way for an international treaty they hope to forge next year.

Climate Depot's Morano comment: 'AP's Borenstein can be trusted to shill for UN's climate summit in Lima Peru, which I will be attending and speaking at. Borenstein relies on Michael Oppenheimer (who is the UN scientists on the payroll of Hollywood stars) and Climategate's Michael Mann. Borenstein ignores tide gauges on sea level  showing deceleration of sea level rise and ignores satellite temperatures which show the Earth in an 18 year 'pause' or 'standstill' of global warming. Borenstein tortures data in order to claim more weather extremes. We are currently at or near historic lows in tornadoes and hurricanes. Even droughts are on long term declines and floods show no trend. We know not to expect more from Borenstein.'
