Anthony Watts – “When you can’t even get the ultra-left MSNBC crowd to agree with your premise of climate change being a threat, maybe a strike isn’t the answer; maybe it’s just time to just give up.”

“Party Like It’s 1699”
Embrace Hollywood!
Jewish control of the media is preventing an open discussion of the Holocaust, prominent Hollywood director Oliver Stone told the Sunday Times, adding that the U.S. Jewish lobby was controlling Washington’s foreign policy for years.
In the Sunday interview, Stone reportedly said U.S. public opinion was focused on the Holocaust as a result of the “Jewish domination of the media,” adding that an upcoming film of him aims to put Adolf Hitler and Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin “in context.”
We Are All Treaty People
“After the Gormley event I was left in a state of confusion. I didn’t know how to feel about what I had experienced. I wasn’t sure if I was feeling like a coward or a warrior? If by being there was I being relentless or abiding? I found myself wondering if I was so desensitized not to lift a finger…Wondering have I allowed my colonized mind to get in the way of my passion for justice. All because of my patterned straying from over-sensitivity in a public setting.”
Note: Those who wish to engage their spirit passions (relentless or abiding) in the discussion should probably consult this page as a style guide.

The Tolerant Left
Progressives turned out Saturday, International Women’s Day, for an old-school rally. The New York State Nurses’ Association was there, as was the NAACP’s state branch, as was SEIU Local 1199, as was City Councilman Ben Kallos.
They had signs, chants and guitars. Were they protesting sex trafficking? Or income inequality? No, they were outraged that a billionaire who happens to be very conservative has given $100 million to New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

Alberta Human Rights Commission: Bridging The Incompetence Gap
In the Feb. 6 decision, they ruled that it was discrimination to hold foreign-born “engineers” to Canada’s professional standards.
They ordered APEGA to pay Mihaly $10,000 in cash. And they ordered APEGA to contact Mihaly’s schools back in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, to find out if in fact Mihaly was a good engineer. Not by testing him. But by talking to the schools over there, decades after Mihaly left.
They had to do more, too. They had to convene a panel of foreign-born Alberta engineers to help Mihaly. They had to find him a mentor. They had to help him find networking parties to go to.
The Sound Of Settled Science
One of the Met Office’s most senior experts yesterday made a dramatic intervention in the climate change debate by insisting there is no link between the storms that have battered Britain and global warming.
Mat Collins, a Professor in climate systems at Exeter University, said the storms have been driven by the jet stream – the high-speed current of air that girdles the globe – which has been ‘stuck’ further south than usual.
Professor Collins told The Mail on Sunday: ‘There is no evidence that global warming can cause the jet stream to get stuck in the way it has this winter. If this is due to climate change, it is outside our knowledge.’
His statement carries particular significance because he is an internationally acknowledged expert on climate computer models and forecasts, and his university post is jointly funded by the Met Office.
Prof Collins is also a senior adviser – a ‘co-ordinating lead author’ – for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). His statement appears to contradict Met Office chief scientist Dame Julia Slingo.
