Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer

U.S. Agency for International Development Administrator Mark Green

White House advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner

White House advisor Chris Liddell

White House chief of staff John Kelly

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson

national security advisor H.R. McMaster

White House chief economic advisor Gary Cohn

This isn't even the entire list, just the one that the White House has release, they have admitted that others will also be going. I suspect that will include Ivanka, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Hope Hicks and Steven Miller.

Scientists Get Buried In Snow At Davos While Lecturing On Global Warming

Scientists have once again set up a mock Arctic base camp to educate world leaders about man-made global warming at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Climate scientists hope their mock camp illustrates how global warming could impact the Arctic, but the “Gore effect” may make it harder to get the message across. Davos has seen frigid temperatures along with about six feet of snow in the last six days.

There was so much snow, authorities evacuated some neighborhoods due to avalanche concerns, CNBC reported. Global elites headed to the conference had to force their way through heavy snow drifts.

CNBC reported that “heavy snow had already blocked the rail line through the Alps from Zurich, and villages along the route were at the highest level of avalanche alert.” Davos visitors were forced off trains and onto “a half-hour bus trip on back roads around the blockage and then loading them onto a crowded red commuter train that ran the rest of the way into Davos.”

The camp was first set up by climate scientists, including those from the British Antarctic Survey, at Davos in 2017 to “convey that long-term negative changes in the Arctic pose serious socio-economic risks to the rest of the world,” according to a January 2017 World Economic Forum blog post.

Scientists hope to convince global leaders to take drastic actions to fight global warming. Climate has been a major topic of past Davos meetings, and even though most of the world signed onto the Paris climate accord, experts fear it’s not enough to stop “dangerous” warming.

Indeed, high-profile celebrities and politicians have visited the camp in the past, including former Vice President Al Gore. Fashion designer Stella McCartney visited the camp this year, obviously bundled up to stay warm in the midst of all that snow.

Hysterical.

More snow than has been seen at Davos in centuries, but global warming is killing us.

Sure.

It is true that the worldwide [bold]average [/bold]temperature is rising, and at a rate that is too fast for many living things to acclimate to, including humans. Some places will be warmer or cooler. Some will be dryer, others wetter. We call it Climate Change, because some people are too stupid to understand this otherwise.

Actually, the global temperatures are dropping slightly. It has been stable for 20 years, but the last two winters have been extremely cold. The sunspots are nearly nonexistent, which is commensurate with a cool solar corona.

We have 400 years of sunspot data, and it matches closely with rises and falls in global temperatures. Buy yourself a few parkas to go with your caftans, because the current cycle indicates a much cooler planet in the next three decades.

R34, Noaa reports that average global surface temperature in 2016 was the warmest since official records began in 1880. It was the third year in a row to set a new heat record, and the fifth time the record has been broken since the start of the 21st century. I believe I heard 2017 was the second hottest on record.

The was the hottest non El-Nino year in recorded history. Something like 10 of the hottest years in the history of the world have occurred since 2000. The world temperature has gone up every single year for the last decade and a half. I wish stupid people would die, then the planet, and the rest of us, might have a chance.

Maddow listed all those people from the American government who are going last night. Then, she listed all the Russians and which organizations those Russians are affiliated with. Strangely, they all overlapped with Trumpian interests. Hm. She then asked who everyone thought would be hanging out together.

I hope Mueller has a few spies in there.

Please try to find the original data from the 1990s satellite measurements. They have been “disappeared”.

Compare the NASA data from 2001 to the same data in 2017. You will notice multiple revisions upward of the satellite data. Since satellite data should not be affected by surface events, why is that figure being manipulated?

Surely you believe that the government lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Or the invasion of Vietnam. Or the bank bailouts in 2009. Or the NSA spying.

Is it really so hard to believe that they would fake data in order to keep their multi billion dollar bureaucracy alive? Don’t be so naïve.

You’re paranoid, R42.

Besides, what you seem to be saying is that, since nobody can be trusted, you’ll just make some stuff up. Or, you’ll rely on the word of a con man over the whole scientific community. That’s just crazy.
