The Democrat party, and the POTUS especially, are extremely lucky that their core constituency either can’t assimilate information, or is so brainwashed, that it will swallow whatever is said to them by their chosen “leaders.”
 
Yesterday, politico.com reported that, “This Earth Day afternoon, President Barack Obama will visit Everglades National Park to use the iconic wetland as a symbol of the climate threat Clinton first flagged 15 years ago. The Everglades is about as flat and low-lying as a landscape can get; the park has a sign identifying “Rock Reef Pass: Elevation 3 Feet.” The freshwater ecosystem is also surrounded by saltwater seas and estuaries, which scientists believe are rising six to 10 times faster than the average over the past 3,000 years. Obama will argue that climate change threatens not only this unique natural jewel but also South Florida’s lucrative ecotourism industry, as well as underground aquifers that provide drinking water for 7 million people.”
 
But then, further in the text, it’s revealed that, “Climate change was not the problem that the Everglades plan was designed to fix back in 2000. It was supposed to help restore gentle water flows that had been discombobulated by levees, highways and canals, as well as pristine water quality that had been polluted by runoff from sugar fields and suburbs. The progress over the last 15 years has been slow.”
 
Which means that, once again, just like in the California drought, it’s man-made construction, pollution, along with politicians and lobbyists pursuing their own goals that are the root of the problem, not global warming (now called “climate-change”). And if the Everglades had been repaired as promised back in 2000 by Clinton, the problem might very well have been corrected by now. That's also true of the aquifers, dams and pipelines never allowed in California by the very same obstructionist environmental crowd. 
 
However, aside from the farce played out in Florida, none other then Duke University experts delivered another shot in the shorts to the POTUS’s fabrication regarding the climate.   
 
On Tuesday, a Duke University report was released, titled; “Global Warming More Moderate Than Worst-Case Models”
 
The report says, “A new study based on 1,000 years of temperature records suggests global warming is not progressing as fast as it would under the most severe emissions scenarios outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).  
 
“Based on our analysis, a middle-of-the-road warming scenario is more likely, at least for now,” said Patrick T. Brown, a doctoral student in climatology at Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment. “But this could change.”
 
Most importantly, “The Duke-led study shows that natural variability in surface temperatures -- caused by interactions between the ocean and atmosphere, and other natural factors -- can account for observed changes in the recent rates of warming from decade to decade.   
 
“The researchers say these “climate wiggles” can slow or speed the rate of warming from decade to decade, and accentuate or offset the effects of increases in greenhouse gas concentrations. If not properly explained and accounted for, they may skew the reliability of climate models and lead to over-interpretation of short-term temperature trends.”
 
And here is the clincher. “The research, published today in the peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports, uses empirical data, rather than the more commonly used climate models, to estimate  decade-to-decade variability.”
 
To illustrate how valid the Duke research is, the dictionary definition of “empirical is: “Verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment.” Which means that actual, verifiable data was used, not the guesses created in a computer by self-serving alarmists whose primary goal is receiving continuing grants and stipends from biased contributors.
 
And now, today’s update on Bill Clinton's wife, a published report that speaks for itself regarding the Clinton foundation.
 
Reuters reported early Thursday that the “errors on form 990s include under-reporting or over-reporting by millions of dollars the amounts donated by foreign governments, as well as not disclosing the donations as separate from total revenue. Reuters also reported that officials may audit other returns filed by the Clinton Foundation as far back as 15 years ago in the event of more errors being found.”
 
At the moment, it’s now known that, “For three years in a row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years.
 
“Those entries were errors, according to the foundation: several foreign governments continued to give tens of millions of dollars toward the foundation's work on climate change and economic development through this three-year period. Those governments were identified on the foundation's annually updated donor list, along with broad indications of how much each had cumulatively given since they began donating.”
 
So, with a year and a half still to go till the presidential election, it seems that for the Clinton’s their foundation is business as usual. Which means that, if these kind’s of revelations are being made now about the shadiness that always surrounds them, what remains to be discovered should be pretty comical as they try to dodge or disclaim it.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
