Climate Change: CNN this week published a huge story saying the source of the migrant caravan wasn't so much corrupt Central American governments, violence or lousy economic policies. It was climate change. This is just the latest attempt by environmentalists to blame any and all bad news — even acne — on climate change.

The CNN story, complete with pictures, videos and charts, claims that climate change is responsible for the drought in parts of Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua that forced thousands to flee for the U.S.

Well, not "responsible," exactly. The author admits part way through that "Studies have not definitively tied this particular drought to climate change."

Story Is Bunk

In other words, the entire premise of story is pretty much bunk. The best the CNN reporter could come up with is that "computer models show droughts like the one happening now are becoming more common as the world warms."

Why would you need computer models to tell you what is supposedly happening right now? Probably because in the U.S., at least, there's been no increase in droughts since the 1890s.

Unfortunately, playing fast and loose with the facts and jumping to wild conclusions is now the standard operating procedure when it comes to global warming.

This week also saw a bold headline declaring that "climate change was behind 15 weather disasters in 2017." Again, not exactly. These events were "influenced" by it, the story said.

That's a bit hard to swallow, too. Every adverse weather event is now somehow attributable to climate change. Whether it's a big snowstorm, heavy rains, a dry spell, unusually cold weather, unusually hot weather, or anything that can be labeled as "unusual."

At least those have something to do with the weather. These days, virtually anything bad that happens gets blamed on climate change.

Blaming Climate

Pick a topic and add "climate change" to it in a Google search and you're likely to find some article or study suggesting a connection between the two.

Time magazine blamed mental health problems on climate change. "Trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression all rank among the ailments linked to climate change," the story said

Another story argued that global warming was connected to sexual violence.

EcoWatch warned pet owners that climate change was probably the reason their dogs have fleas because "climate change is creating an ideal habitat for pests."

The Denver Post claimed that climate change was partly responsible for the decline in fertility rates.

Another article claimed a few years ago that "various skin disorders such as acne scars are the result of global warming and climate change."

One website had collected examples of just about everything that's been connected to global warming. There were hundreds of examples.

Why The Avalanche?

A beer shortage, a building collapse in England, the creation of ISIS, rising insurance premiums, kidney stones, prostitution, teenage drinking and homelessness are but a few.

Why the avalanche of such claims? One obvious reason: If you want to get attention to your story or cause, the best way to do so is to claim there's some climate change connection.

Yet despite these endless tales of woe, the public remains indifferent. France had to back down on a modest increase in fuel taxes it had imposed specifically to fight global warming, after protests consumed the nation. Liberal Washington state overwhelmingly rejected a carbon tax. Countries that made solemn pledges to cut CO2 emissions three years ago as part of the Paris climate change agreement aren't close to living up to them. Fighting climate change continues to rank at the bottom of the public's list of priorities.

Common Sense

Most likely that's because the public has far more common sense than environmentalists or the mainstream media. They know that bad things have always happened. There were devastating hurricanes, floods, droughts, starvation, deprivation, wars and other terrible tragedies — including acne — long before mankind started burning fossil fuel.

They also know that the climate is always changing. (Take a trip to the Grand Canyon if you don't believe it.)

And the public knows that not everything bad that is happening today can possibly be the result of a less-than-1-degree Celsius increase in average global temperatures over the past 100 years.

Trying to convince people otherwise just exposes what a hoax the whole climate change mania has become.

Dec. 13 (UPI) -- Teachers should be armed, schools should have better security and law enforcement needs more training to prevent massacres like the on that occurred in Parkland, Fla., this year, a special panel said in a report.

The Florida commission investigating the shooting said in a draft report it found too many doors at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School unlocked, police officers didn't respond adequately to stop the attacker and the "Code Red" alarm wasn't sounded quickly enough.

Trump cancels White House Christmas party for the press

President Trump has canceled the White House holiday party for the media, making the decades-old tradition a victim of his increasingly contentious relationship with major news organizations.

The annual Christmas-season gathering was a significant perk for those covering the White House, as well as other Washington reporters, anchors and commentators, and New York media executives would regularly fly in for the occasion. At its peak, the invitation-only soirees grew so large that there were two back-to-back events, one for broadcast outlets and one for print organizations.
[.....]

The decision is hardly shocking, given Trump’s constant attacks on "fake news" and the overwhelmingly negative coverage of him and his administration. In recent weeks, the White House pulled the credentials of CNN's Jim Acosta after he refused to give up the microphone at a news conference and restored his pass only after the network filed a lawsuit.

Trump has also twice refused to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner, a tony media awards dinner attended by every president since Richard Nixon.

When Democrats have been in the White House, more liberal commentators have gotten invitations, while more conservative pundits have shown up during Republican administrations.

Some critics questioned whether those who cover or comment on the White House should engage in such socializing, but few turned down the invitations. Many Trump supporters who view his coverage as unfairly harsh will undoubtedly welcome the president’s decision to exclude the media establishment, at least for this year.

WASHINGTON — Nancy Pelosi said Democrats will begin to seek President Donald Trump's tax returns — a move likely to prompt outrage from the White House - when they take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January.

The House Ways and Means Committee will "take the first steps," said Pelosi, who has the backing of her members to become the next speaker of the House in January.

"There is popular demand for the Congress to request the president's tax returns," she said, speaking to reporters. "I'm sure the White House will resist, so the question is where do we go from there."

Trump defied decades of tradition when he refused to release his tax records while running for president and after taking office. There is no law or rule compelling a president or candidate to do so, but nearly every nominee and president since 1976 has done so.
