Acting EPA director Andrew Wheeler criticized last year's Federal Climate Change report as being based on a "worst case scenario."

Acting Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Andrew Wheeler on Wednesday downplayed last year's dire federal government report on climate change, saying some of the report's conclusions "were based on the worst-case scenario."
"Some of the conclusions were based on the worst-case scenario. ... And so, I’m trying to take the report as a whole.

Isn't that what responsible scientists do, analyze and measure the full range of potential impacts? Seems reasonable to me to plan for the worst and hope for the best but what do I know? I am sure that I would see things differently to if I was an ex industry lobbyist, like Wheeler.

Trump wants to take a billion dollars back from California. Last I checked we were getting what, 78 cents back for every California dollar paid in federal taxes? Last study I saw we Californians paid out about $13 billion more than we received back from the feds. Pony up Washington...

I have little sympathy for the ISIS wives who want to come back to their respective home countries and think that we should have pity on them. Wasn't long ago they were fomenting hate and calling for the destruction of the west.

Jews in the Labour Party in England are resigning en masse due to the ever increasing anti-semitic nature of that Party. I predict that it is only a matter of time before it happens here in America. I was listening to new congresswoman Rashida Tlaib lambasting jews for having "dual loyalty" to Israel and thought,"Isn't that exactly what you are doing here too?" How ironic.

Of course, things aren't much better in France.
