Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace has a great deal of respect across America but he doesn't tell us what to do either, as a historian I fully realize the power of the little lie, the big lie and biased reporting.

Free Press, Free Speech; We're all the free press not just biased ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN or even FOX news.  










Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace has a great deal of respect across America but he doesn't tell us what to do either, as a historian I fully realize the power of the little lie, the big lie and biased reporting.  President Donald Trump is right again, the press is a power, based mainly on corruption, financed by big business and they don't get paid when they tell the truth. The media is a corrupt joke and most of the talking heads will do anything for ratings, including selling half the population down the river.  Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Bill and Hillay Clinton failed the American people, using platforms like CNN and ABC to screw the public, it continues today. 

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox New Sunday,” host Chris Wallace got into a long and heated exchange with White House chief of staff Reince Priebus over President Donald Trump‘s tweet labeling the press an “enemy” of the American people.
After several minutes of back and forth arguing over the media’s coverage of the Trump administration, Wallace said, “You don’t get to tell us what to do Reince. You don’t get to tell us what to do any more than Barack Obama did. Barack Obama whined about Fox News all the time, but I got to say, he never said we were an enemy of the people.”
Later in the segment, Priebus said, “I don’t know why you are going bananas.”

Short Memories - Barack Obama - Fake President - CNN ABC CBS NBC MSNBC Main Stream Media Cover Up Continues Media Press Freedom Stalin Hitler Clinton Obama Journalists FOX News Shut Down Donald Trump President

Deplorable President Donald Trump’s first solo press conference at the White House on Thursday. They are complaining, almost in unison, that it was “unhinged” — and, worse, that Trump’s combative style, and practice of calling on non-traditional news outlets, threatens the First Amendment.
CNN short memories — or selective memories. Because when President Barack Obama took direct aim at the media and press freedom, few complained. And when they did, the media soon went back to giving him fawning coverage.
Here are 11 moments Obama abused the press:

1. Campaign plane “hijacking” journalists. In 2008, the Obama campaign flew 25 members of the media to Chicago — without telling them then-Sen. Obama was not, in fact, on board. CNN reported: “[T]he press was essentially held hostage with no candidate and no choice but to fly to Chicago on a chartered plane.”



2. Closing White House events to all but the official photographer. Obama barred the media from events — including, ironically, an award ceremony where he was recognized for “transparency” — and often restricted photographers’ access, only releasing images taken by the official White House photographer.




3. Trying to shut out Fox News. The Obama administration targeted Fox News for isolation and marginalization, arguing that it was not a legitimate news organization but “the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.” That served as a warning to other potentially critical outlets.



4. Stonewalling FOIA requests. The Obama administration “set a record” for failing to provide information requested by the press and the public under the Freedom of Information Act. The low point was Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, where tens of thousands of emails were hidden on a private server and deleted.









5. Prosecuting journalists and their sources. The Obama administration pursued Fox News reporter James Rosen’s private emails — then misled Congress about it. CNN’s Jake Tapper — to his credit — pointed out that Obama had used the Espionage Act against leakers more than all of his predecessors combined.
6. Wiretapping the Associated Press. After the Obama administration’s snooping on the AP was exposed in 2013, a senior NBC correspondent excused President Obama on the grounds that he would not have been nasty enough to alienate “one of the president’s most important constituencies, the press.”
7. Refusing to hold press conferences. For long stretches of his presidency, Obama refused to hold press conferences at all, going 10 months without a formal press conference in a critical stretch from 2009 to 2010. He heeled the lowest average annual number of press conferences of any president since Ronald Reagan.
8. Filibustering at press conferences. When Obama did, finally, hold press conference, he often limited the number of questions by delivering long, rambling, often condescending answers. He “wastes reporters’ time by refraining from answering questions with any candor,” Jack Shafer complained in Politico in 2016.
9. Attacking tough questions. When a Major Garrett of CBS actually asked a tough question — about why the administration seemed not to be trying hard to free Americans held by Iran, including Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian — Obama scolded him: “Major, that’s nonsense, and you should know better.”
10. Appearing on fringe outlets. While media elites gripe about conservative journalists being given a chance, Obama often restricted his appearances to fringe media: Inside Edition; Funny or Die’s Between Two Ferns (which was then nominated for an Emmy); YouTube stars; and a radio show called “Pimp with a Limp.”
11. Iran deal “echo chamber.” The Obama administration created “fake news” to support the Iran deal, setting up what it later boasted was an “echo chamber” of “experts” who would comment in the media to support the White House narrative on the negotiations. Meanwhile, key details were hidden from the public.
Through it all, President Obama regarded himself as a champion of press freedom, having run the “most transparent administration ever.”
Many mainstream media journalists ignored the Obama administration’s abuses. A few spoke out against them. But most of them continued to paint him in glowing terms, regardless.

Iran Nuclear Weapon Deal Secrets The Glitch Heard Around the World - Clinton Obama Kerry - The Secrets of Barack Obama Hillary Clinton John Kerry State Department The Iran Nuclear Deal Secret Talks Stalin Hitler Mao The Dictator hides the truth from America

State Department - Barack Obama - Dictator is more than a word now as the U.S. State Department under the direction of Barack Obama - John Kerry - Barack Obama has continued the long tradition of evil Dictators Like Stalin Hitler Mao and other earthly devils.  The State Department was caught red handed changing video film records to better reflect the administrative state of Barack Obama by editing the actual footage, removing the parts they didn't like.  






The State Department retracted its previous excuse that a "glitch" was to blame for erasing a portion of questioning during a 2013 press briefing of the Iran nuclear deal and is now confessing that the eight minutes was deliberately deleted. Though unsure who made the request, DoS spokesman John Kirby stated, "There was a deliberate request, this was not a glitch."  

The missing eight minutes of questioning was between then-spokesperson Jen Psaki and Fox News reporter James Rosen over whether or not there had already been ongoing secret talks with Iran about the nuclear deal before the public knew. 

Of course, there was and the State Department needed to cover it up.

Rosen had asked Psaki during the press conference, "Is it the policy of the State Department where the preservation of the secrecy of secret negotiations is concerned, to lie in order to achieve that goal?" "James, I think there are times where diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress. This is a good example of that," Psaki responded. This statement by Psaki was also "mysteriously" missing from the official State Department video. The complete footage has now been restored at the DoS website. During his admission Wednesday, Kirby added that at the time of the requested edit, there were "no rules" or "regulations" that would have strictly prohibited such an action, but agreed that the decision wasn't keeping with President Obama's promise to be the most transparent administration in history.

Hillary Rodahm Clinton is a lot more like Russian Dictator Stalin,

Hillary Rodahm Clinton is a lot more like Russian Dictator Stalin, but has a few leanings toward Adolf Hitler. The Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky once described Stalinism as “the perfect theory for glueing up the brain.” Which makes Hillary Clinton the perfect way to fu.k up a Democratic Republic.  Hillary Clinton is an organized crime figure operating inside the centralized administrative government of Barack Obama.  

What he (Trotsky) meant to dramatize was the fact that a regime as monstrous as Stalin’s, Obama's and the pending Clinton's (again) which (Stalin) murdered 40 million people and enslaved many times more, was nonetheless able to persuade progressives and “social justice” advocates all over the world to act as its supporters and defenders. 

America has 46 million people living in poverty, so Obama and Clinton are starving them out, killing them slowly.  America has 97 million people out of the workforce and they only reason they're not breaking into your home tonight for food is that Obama - Clinton feed them and house them using your money.  The welfare state does not truly describe the Obama Clinton America, you now live in a giant concentration camp.

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, John Kerry, Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, George Soros, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Van Jones, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and others like to call themselves progressive democrats, which really means progressive socialists, which really means their little bastard communists, just like Stalin, not like Hitler.  Hitler wanted all the Jews dead and Stalin wanted all the Germans killed and both wanted a total global war and world domination, like one world order. 

These enlightened enablers of Stalin’s crimes included leading intellectuals of the day, even Nobel Prize winners in the sciences and the arts like Frederic Joliot-Curie and Andre Gide, which might remind you that Barack Obama was a Nobel Prize winner for nothing and now millions are migrating out the middle eastern war zones, hundreds of thousands have been killed, but the welfare Harvard graduate Barack Obama and Yale educated dip Hillary Clinton are covering their ass.  Brilliant as they were, way back then during and before World War II they were blind to the realities of the Stalinist regime and therefore of the virtues of the societies they lived in.

Barack Obama has a Marshall Law future planned for you.  All the sparks are flying he's just waiting for some nut job to toss gas on the flames, always burning.  Barack Obama has re-distributed your wealth, forced you on a government centered health plan, North Korea is exploding Atomic weapons, Russian is marching in Crimea, Islamic Radicals are killing Americans across the United States, The Ukraine belongs to Putin, and while Obama wants to take your pistol. 

What glued up their brains was the belief that a brave new world of social justice – a world governed by progressive principles - existed in embryo in Soviet Russia, and had to be defended by any means necessary.  The blood clotting and brain damaged Hillary Clinton wants the pure power of dictatorship just like Barack Obama.  They now control the media like dollar junkies ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and yes, FOX news.  You don't have an independent press, the very first step that Stalin and Hitler and even Mao would really appreciate.  Step by Step, Shovel by Shovel, you're digging your own grave.


As a result of this illusion, they put their talents and prestige at the service of the totalitarian enemies of democracy, acting, in Trotsky’s words, as “frontier guards” for the Stalinist empire.  The little bastards like Black Lives Matter will burn down Baltimore, Chicago and Detroit and Obama Clinton will just send them taxpayer money to rebuild. 

They continued their efforts even after the Soviets conquered Eastern Europe, acquired nuclear weapons and initiated a “cold war” with the West.  Iran will have a nuclear weapon and North Korea lights one off every so often to remind us that they have atomic weapons that will destroy America, even Russia reminds us. 

To the progressives seduced by Stalinism, democratic America represented a greater evil than the barbaric police states of the Soviet bloc.  Obama Clinton is more dangerous today that Stalin - Hitler and Mao combined as they have created a State Capitalistic System and the big business, big government, big hollywood, big banks, big media, big union's and the other big's have gone along to gain wealth and prosperity.

Even half a century later a progressive culture still refers to the formative phase of the Cold War as years of a “Red Scare” – as though the fifth column of American progressives whose loyalties were to the Soviet enemy, whose members included Soviet spies, was not a matter of serious concern, and as though a nuclear-armed, rapacious Soviet empire did not pose a credible threat.

How were these delusions of otherwise intelligent and well-intentioned people possible? How were otherwise informed individuals able to deny the obvious and support the most brutal and oppressive dictatorship in history? How did they come to view a relatively humane, decent, democratic society like the United States as evil, while regarding the barbarous communist regime as its victim? The answer lies in the identification of Marxism with the promise of social justice and the institution of progressive values, which will take place in a magical socialist future. Defense of the progressive idea trumped recognition of the reactionary fact.

Once the Stalin regime was identified with the imaginary progressive future, everything followed – its status as a persecuted victim, and its adversary’s role as a reactionary force standing in the way of the noble aspiration. Every fault of the Stalin regime, every crime it committed if not denied by progressives was attributed to the nefarious actions of its enemies, most glaringly the United States. Once a promise of redemption is juxtaposed to an imperfect real world actor, all of these responses become virtually inevitable. Hence the glueing of the brain.

The Soviet Union is gone, and history has moved on. But the Stalinist dynamic endures as the heritage of a post-Communist left, which remains wedded to fantasies of an impossibly beautiful future that bring it into collision with the flawed American present. This left is now the dominant force in the Democratic Party. Its extreme disconnect from real world realities is encapsulated in its support for the transparently racist movement called Black Lives Matter, which attacks law enforcement and defends street predators, excusing their crimes with the alibi that “white supremacists” create the circumstances that make them commit criminal acts. This extremist movement has the “strong support” of the entire spectrum of the “progressive” left (including 46% of the Democratic Party, according to aWall Street Journal/NBC news poll).


Black Lives Matter is a movement built on the fiction that police have declared an open season on innocent blacks. According to progressive fictions, police are the agents of a “white supremacist society” – a claim alone that should make one wary of the sanity of those who advance it. Facts belie the very basis of the claim that there is open hunting season on African Americans. African American males, accounting for 6% of the population are responsible for more than 40% of violent crimes. But a Washington Postreport on all 980 police shootings of 2015 reveals that only 4% of fatal police shootings involved white officers and black victims, while in three-quarters of the incidents, cops were either under attack themselves or defending civilians,” in other words,” as Michael Walsh observed in the NY Post, they were “doing their jobs.”

One such job done by Officer Darren Wilson in the suburb city of Ferguson, Missouri, became the launching point for the Black Lives Matter movement and its malicious claim that innocent blacks were being wantonly gunned down by racist police. The alleged “victim,” Michael Brown had just committed a strong-armed robbery and refused to comply with Wilson’s order to surrender. Instead the 300 lb street thug attacked Wilson in his vehicle, tried to wrest his gun from him, and then walked away before turning and charging him. Several warning shots failed to stop Brown, until one killed him.

Ignoring the facts, Black Lives Matter promoted the lie invented by Brown’s robbery accomplice, that Brown had his hands up and was attempting to surrender when he was shot. “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” quickly became the anthem of the movement. But this lie was refuted not only by black eyewitnesses testifying before the Grand Jury, and by forensic evidence, but by a review conducted by the Holder Justice Department, otherwise bent on demonstrating the existence of bigotry in the Ferguson police department. Meanwhile Black Lives Matter went about setting fire to Ferguson, causing millions of dollars of damage, because if there was no justice – no hanging of Wilson - there would be no peace, as the now familiar lynch mob slogan framed it. 

Black Lives Matter then set about taking its crusade to other cities, most prominently to Baltimore, where a career criminal named Freddie Gray became another cause célebre

Gray had suffered fatal injuries inside a police van where only another captive was present. As the Black Lives Matter inspired mobs began to gather in “protest,” Baltimore’s black Democratic mayor ordered police to stand down allowing them to destroy millions of dollars of property. The state’s black Democratic prosecutor then indicted six officers, three of them African American, on various ludicrous charges including first degree murder, although none except the African American driver were in the van with Gray.

The immediate result of Black Lives Matter’s war on law enforcement was an epidemic of crime, as police officers decided that aggressive law enforcement was dangerous to their careers and lives. Homicides in the St. Louis Ferguson area and in Baltimore jumped 60% setting records in the annals of criminal mayhem. Virtually all the victims were blacks, revealing the hypocrisy of a movement for which black lives didn’t really matter – the attacks on the law enforcement and the “power structure” and on whites did.

How could any reasonable citizen – let alone one with progressive aspirations - support a roving lynch mob like Black Lives Matter? How could half the Democratic Party support a movement that condemns America as a white supremacist society, disregarding the reality that the president and chief law enforcement officer and thousands of civil servants and elected officials including the mayors and police chiefs of large urban centers, like Memphis, Atlanta, and Philadelphia are black? (In Detroit the new mayor is actually the first white mayor in 40 years, while its police chief is still black). You can embrace the absurdity that America is a white supremacist society only if you are afflicted with the illusion that everybody is the same and all statistical inequalities affecting African Americans, like high crime rates, are not reflections of culture and character but marks of racist oppression. (This particular absurdity - universal as it is among American progressives and the current U.S. Department of Justice - is easily refuted: If statistical disparities proved racism, the National Basketball Association in which 95% of the starting multimillionaires are black would be an association controlled by black racists, as would the National Football League, while the National Hockey League would be under the thumb of white racists.) Progressives are delusional about black racism and black crime because they are in thrall to the vision of an imaginary progressive future in which social justice will guarantee that every individual outcome is the same.

Blindness to the accountability of inner city populations for their off the charts violent crime rates, and their failures to shoulder the responsibilities of parenthood is as characteristic of the progressive attitude as is its blindness to the betrayal of inner city communities by Democrats and progressives. The disgraceful conditions of America’s large inner cities is almost entirely the responsibility of these two political actors. Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis and numerous other sites of out-of-control black poverty, failed public school systems and black on black violence are 100% controlled by the Democratic Party and have been for 50 to 100 years. Yet 95% of the black vote and 100% of the progressive vote continues to go to Democrats who oppress African Americans.

Progressives’ sordid history of supporting criminals at home is accompanied by an equally dishonorable record of sympathy for America’s enemies abroad. The Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, was one of the monsters of the 20th Century, launching two aggressive wars, dropping poison gas on the Kurds, and murdering 300,000 Iraqi citizens. But more than a million progressives poured into the streets of America to thwart our attempt to depose him. At first, the Democratic leadership supported the Iraq invasion as a just and necessary war. But three months into the war, with American men and women still in harm’s way, under pressure from the progressive left they turned against the war they had authorized, and for the next five years, conducted a malicious propaganda campaign, worthy of the enemy, to discredit America’s intentions and to obstruct its military mission.

Because the Bush administration chose not to defend itself by confronting the treasonous actions of the left – including the exposure and destruction of three national security programs – leftist myths about the Iraq War persist to this day, even in Republican circles. To set the record straight: Bush did not lie to seduce Democrats into supporting the war, and could not have done so, since the Democrats had access to the same intelligence he did. The war was not about stockpiles of Weapons of Mass Destruction, as Democrats dishonestly claimed – it was about Saddam’s violation of 17 UN Security Council resolutions designed to prevent him from pursuing the WMD weapons programs he had started. The Democrats’ betrayal of their country’s war effort crippled its progress, and with the election to the presidency of an anti-war leftist in 2009, led directly to the explosion of terrorism and bloodshed that has since engulfed the Middle East.

Nor was it just the surrender mentality of the Obama administration that fueled these catastrophes. With the full support of the Democratic Party, President Obama embraced the Muslim Brotherhood and America’s mortal enemy, Iran, providing its Ayatollahs with a path to nuclear weapons and dominance of the region, and causing the Sunni Arab states to prepare for a Middle Eastern civil war.

Just as leftists acted as propagandists for the Soviet empire, discrediting America’s Cold War effort and conducting deceptive campaigns to hide Soviet crimes, so the left today disparages the Islamic threat and opposes security measures necessary to protect the homeland – most alarmingly the sealing of our southern border. Progressives have created seditious “Sanctuary Cities,” which refuse to cooperate with Homeland Security and the immigration laws in more than three hundred outlaw municipalities under Democratic control. Their betrayal has gone un-reversed for more than a decade and led to the needless deaths of numerous Americans at the hands of illegal alien criminals, of which there are more than 200,000 inside our jails alone, and obviously many more inside our borders.

Leftists and Democrats have also joined the Islamic propaganda campaign to represent Muslims – whose co-religionists have killed hundreds of thousands of innocents since 9/11 in the name of their religion – as victims of anti-Muslim prejudice, denouncing critics of Islamic terror and proponents of security measures as “Islamophobes” and bigots. In fact, 60% of religious hate crimes are directed at Jews, many inspired by the Jew-hatred that forms a core of Islam’s religious canon, along with its incitements to war against Christians and other non-Muslim “infidels.” “Imagine where the Jews would be,” asks Don Feder, “if a Jewish civil servant and his foreign bride shot up a Christmas party in Southern California. A Jewish psychiatrist murdered 13 and wounded another 30 at Ft. Hood, and two Jewish brothers planted bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.” Yet for progressives no heinous act by Islamic terrorists, nor deafening silence by Islamic communities in the face of the atrocities committed in the name of their religion, can prompt them to consider the problematic nature of Islam itself.

Exploiting the myth of Muslim persecution, progressives oppose scrutiny of the Muslim community, including its terror-promoting Imams and mosques. They immediately denounce proposals to screen Muslim immigrants as religious bigotry, and thus seal off any rational discussion of the problem. Led by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, Democrats have enabled the Islamic assault on free speech, which is a central component of their campaign to create a religious theocracy that circles the globe. Most notoriously the president and his operatives cynically spread the lie that a video about Muhammad was behind the Benghazi terror attack. Speaking like an Ayatollah before the UN General Assembly, shortly after the attack, Obama declared: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” What an American president should have said is, “The future must not belong to those who murder in the name of Islam.”

By actions such as these, Democrats not only betray the 320 million Americans they are obliged to protect, but encourage the silence of the Muslim community, which has failed to expose the terrorists in its midst, or condemn the Imams and mosques that are preaching hatred of Jews and Christians, and promoting terrorist agendas aimed at Americans.

Our country is at a perilous crossroads, one that is made immeasurably more dangerous by a treacherous national party, which blames its own country for the crimes of its enemies, and by a political opposition too feckless and timid to hold its fellow citizens accountable for their treasonous acts.

Obama's and Clinton's Climate Change is about political power just like Hitler did with the Jews. Climate Change or Global Warming of the earth becomes enemy number one.

Climate Change Paris France Barack Obama - When my father was young he fought in World War II and after that in those pre-cable T.V. days he watched the news on CBS when Dan Rather was an honest man and now he watched as a mobster rose through the ranks of the Democratic Party to become president.  These are Godless people in the White House, with the exception of the Muslim's and their Allah and Muhammad.

Like watching a bad gangster movie Barack Hussein Obama is becoming more and more ruthless and works directly against the American citizen every day as president.

My father, understands as a World War II veteran that his youth was captured by the war and his country was kidnapped by Hitler for many years, but now Barack Obama.

Gruesomely Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton has wrapped the honest citizen in a progressive socialist government like a mummy and the young men today are too busy or too stupid to understand the hoodlum in the White House.

Climate Change is about political power just like Hitler did with the Jews.  Get everybody stirred up about the Jews and millions died.  Get people stirred up about Climate Change or Global Warming and the earth becomes enemy number one.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have convinced the world of citizens that a two (2) degree jump in temperature will destroy the entire world and civilization itself.

Somber reports and graphs show the data points and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton deemed that the conversation is over and the matter is settled.  In Paris France, a nation of good people that cannot even guard their own citizens from Islamic Radical Killers can now control the entire planet from human beings.

Progressive Socialists are entranced with Barack Obama and let it be said that Obama and Clinton will destroy the United States as Climate Change is about control, the control of everything earthly, like the Jews were the core of everything wrong.

Climate Change - Global Warming now allows Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to transfer actual wealth around the world.  The little country gets paid by the big country and the biggest is the United States, some say over $1.5 Trillion dollars will be transferred from your banking accounts to other governments.

The Democrats are like the Irish mobs during prohibition and their darker elements are showing for everybody to see, Al Gore laughing and smiling in Paris France.  Barack Obama jumping on T.V. and the internet to show off his handy work.

The White House is full of glamour and economic and political violence just like in Berlin with Hitler and Moscow with Stalin and a clueless American Congress, always doing nothing to the bloody end.

You should be scared sh.tless as now the mean streets are in front of your home and the raging bull is coming.

.


Politicians and bureaucrats from nearly 200 nations are gathered in Paris for an international global warming agreement. In his opening statements, President Barack Obama claimed that “there is such a thing as being too late. And when it comes to climate change, that hour is almost upon us.”
In the midst of such self-induced high-pressure politics and the alleged immediacy of the situation, here are a few numbers to keep in mind.

1.      An Arbitrary Goal: 2 Degrees Celsius
The U.N.’s stated goal of the Paris conference is “to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius” from preindustrial levels. But as the Wall Street Journal reports and others have pointed out well before the Paris talks, many scientists—including those who believe we are facing catastrophic global warming—find the benchmark of 2 degrees Celsius arbitrary.

Professor of climatology at University College London Mark Maslin said, “It emerged from a political agenda, not a scientific analysis. It’s not a sensible, rational target because the models give you a range of possibilities, not a single answer.”

2.      $100 Billion (or More)-per-Year Climate Fund
A major sticking point leading up to and during the Paris climate conference has been a Green Climate Fund that would collect $100 billion per year by 2020 to subsidize green energy and pay for other climate adaptation and mitigation programs in developing nations.

Only $10.2 billion has been pledged so far ($3 billion has been promised by Obama), but that’s already $10.2 billion too much.

World Bank Group vice president and special envoy for climate change Rachel Kyte said that “the $100 billion was picked out of the air at Copenhagen.”
Executive secretary for the U.N.’s climate change conventions Christiana Figueres has further admitted that the $100 billion is merely a proxy to win the trust of developing countries and that “we are talking here about trillions of dollars that need to flow into the transformation at a global level.”

3.      Amount of Warming Since 1998: Almost None
Even as global carbon dioxide emissions have increased, warming has plateaued. Most scientists would agree that the Earth has experience some warming over the past century, but there is little agreement as to how much is attributable to human activity or if warming is even harmful. An analysis by Judith Curry comparing five data sets of actual global temperatures found thatall but one showed that global warming is on a break.
However, climate models have predicted far more warming than has actually happened in the past 18 years. If models have been unable to accurately project climate conditions ten years out, how can even longer-term projections be depended upon to make good policy decisions?

4.      Number of Coal Power Plants Planned Around the World: 2,440
A December report by four climate institutes found that far from decreasing in number, over 2,000 coal power plants are planned around the world in developing and industrialized nations. And for good reason—coal remains an efficient, affordable, and reliable resource to generate electricity.

It’s worth noting, too, that modern American coal power plants aren’t the plants of a century ago (or like the ones in China today) and can filter out 90 percent of mercury emissions and 99.8 percent of soot.

Too many politicians appear out of touch with reality, though. The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has suggested that “fossil fuel power generation without [carbon capture and sequestration be] phased out almost entirely by 2100” to mitigate warming.

To this end, the Obama administration’s emissions reduction commitment to cut 28 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 further stated that this was only a “pathway … to deep, economy-wide emission reductions of 80 percent or more by 2050.”
5.      

Amount of Warming Avoided by the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan: 0.02 Degrees Celsius Over the Next 85 Years

The Clean Power Plan is at the heart of Obama’s U.N. climate commitment. But regardless of one’s opinion of global warming, the Clean Power Plan does next to nothing to reduce global temperatures.

Models created by the Environmental Protection Agency show that the climate impact of the Clean Power Plan is less than 0.02 degrees Celsius in warming avoided over the next 85 years. Meanwhile, it will be extremely costly to American families and businesses, and particularly so for the poor Midwestern states, which rely more heavily on coal for electricity, and the manufacturing sector, which is on the threshold of renewed growth brought on by the oil and gas revolution.


Obama has maneuvered to avoid Senate ratification of a treaty. But regardlessof one’s position on global warming, the Paris climate agreement is shortsighted and a bad deal for Americans and the world’s most vulnerable.
