Why bother? The Media Cartel

"The ultimatum follows Trump’s announcement last week that the United States will withdraw from the Paris climate change accord and his refusal to specifically pledge allegiance to European defense at a NATO summit last month."



Trump has never said the US would not defend Europe.  Never.  Ever.  Ever.

Obama did however - he stopped a missile defense shield to Poland, thus leaving it open to Russia ... and he did that as a capitulation to Russia.

Obama did do that ... multiple times to Eastern European allies, leaving them to their own devices, to find their own defense systems.

Obama did that many times.  He said one thing and did another and NEVER once did the WP question him.  Anne should pay more attention.

But when Trump tells the European allies they need to pay their legitimate and legally obligated portion as defined by the very treaty he isn't obliging, then he is apparently not pledging allegiance to the Euro cause.

We have defended Europe, even when Europe didn't want our protection - we liberated them -- we did so despite cost and the lives lost.  We will always do so, but they MUST pay their fair share.

We have always paid more than our share.  Always.
 

The Science of Global Warming

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate at Bergen Norway

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.

Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf Stream still very warm.

Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelt which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

This report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 94 years ago.



There are very fair and reasonable articles by well-respected climatologists who avoid fear-mongering - most notably an article I have posted by James Lovelock.
