No stone left unturned when it comes to trashing POTUS….they wouldn't be CNN if they missing their chance….might be one of the "countermoves" Q talked about
Happy news. Trey Gowdy talking with Shannon B. talking about FBI email chain. Maybe on earlier, but new to us westies. Old news to anons….q on timeline: Q on FISA abuses….Gowdy says he already knows they screwed up with FISA the first time, wants to know what's they've done on a ongoing basis (like maybe NOW)….Re Comey: says "Comey needs a new lawyer," because Congress doesn't indict people, as the lawyer Kelly indicated. Re private hearing (not public): Says what we already know, that real questioning can only happen in private. But good for the public to hear.
How Big Government Hijacked the Climate Change Report
part 1 of 2, see attached
Video & article by Chuck DeVore
Saw DeVore, VP of the Texas Public Policy Center on Laura Ingraham tonight. He was there to expose the fact that the new govt report that climate change alarmists have been referring to lately–along with the MSM–is funded not only by our tax dollars but by wealthy climate change activists (Mike Bloomberg & Tom Steyer). He found this out via a Heritage Foundation critique by Nick Loris. One of the report's authors, he said, is Prof. Rising from UC Berkeley, who he termed a "nut case" because he wants to "eliminate" POTUS, among other things.

Article:
As taxpayers and citizens, we expect our federal government to responsibly use its resources and to be responsive to the will of the people as expressed in elections. But all too frequently, the bureaucracy — the administrative state — churns on with its agenda, untouched by mere elected officials or appointees of the administration.
This was on full display in November with the release of the 1,700-page National Climate Assessment (NCA), the product of a 60-member, interagency federal committee. The NCA heavily relied on a paper funded by federal taxpayers and a few billionaire friends of big government: Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg and former secretary of the Treasury under President Bush, Hank Paulson.
The conclusions from that paper — “estimating economic damage from climate change in the United States” — generated apocalyptic notice in the nation’s major media. “U.S. Climate Report Warns of Damaged Environment and Shrinking Economy — Without major action to rein in global warming, the American economy could lose 10 percent of GDP by 2100, according to a report from 13 federal agencies,” the New York Times reported. “Climate change will shrink [the] U.S. economy and kill thousands, government report warns,” CNN said.
Steyer and Bloomberg each spent millions of dollars in the 2018 election cycle to elect Democrats and are both eyeing runs for the White House.
Nicolas Loris, a Heritage Foundation economist specializing in energy and the environment, wrote up a critique of the NCA. He noted that the paper wildly exaggerated economic costs while assuming the worst case and least likely scenario. Other critics noted that the prediction of a 10-percent hit to the economy by 2100 due to higher temperatures didn’t correlate correctly with a U.S. economy expected to more than triple in size by then.
The federal study also makes a hash of causality. For instance, the NCA cites this year’s deadly Carr Fire in California as emblematic of climate change. But it doesn’t mention that the Western region’s forests have not been actively managed since 1990 as a result of environmental policies that virtually halted the timber harvest while discouraging brush clearance, access road maintenance, and prescribed burns.
These policies led to a predictable build-up in fuel load and tree density, making the West more vulnerable to wildfire. That’s a result of bad policy, not climate change.
President Trump called out this decades-long lack of forest management, both in the summer and during the November flare-up of wildfires, while his critics pushed back, citing climate change.
