…Colorado State Climatologist Sets The Record Straight About The Flood: ‘Looks like it was a 15 year event, not a 1,000 year event. Alarmists were only off by a factor of 60 or so.’
…Despite being disgusted with Gore for selling out to Al Jazeera, Warmist Bill McKibben’s global warming documentary to premier on fossil fuel funded Al Jazeera
McKibben and 350.org are premiering their documentary “Do the Math” on Al Jazeera. The documentary will go “after the fossil fuel industry directly, energizing a movement like the ones that overturned the great immoral institutions of the past century, such as Apartheid in South Africa,” according to PF Pictures.
