Rachel Maddow Blames TRUMP For Violent Riots In Socialist Venezuela

[the_ad id=”90513″]

The leftist political and media elites, their power weakened and increasingly threatened through no one’s fault but their own, are lashing out in every way they can think of, desperate to destroy President Trump. Next they’ll be blaming him for hurricanes and tornadoes — oh, wait, they’re already doing that with their “global warming” nonsense.

“Rachel Maddow Says Trump Is To Blame For Violent Riots Taking Place In Socialist Venezuela [VIDEO],” by Christian Datoc, Daily Caller, April 21, 2017:

Rachel Maddow opened her Thursday night broadcast by blaming the violent riots in Venezuela on President Trump.

No, you didn’t read that wrong.

The MSNBC host thinks this past week’s riot, taking place a socialist country that for the better part of the millennium has been an economic dumpster fire, are due to a man who has been in office for less than 100 days….

The leftist political and media elites … are … desperate to destroy President Trump. Next they’ll be blaming him for hurricanes and tornadoes — oh, wait, they’re already doing that with their “global warming” nonsense.

Pamela Geller has spearheaded a vigorous populist defense of liberty and a considerable tribute to the independent human mind and spirit. Long may she flourish. Nonetheless, this comment reveals her Achilles heel of unbounded certainty about matters with which she is totally ill-equipped to deal coupled with an abysmal ignorance.

Just for starters, it’s not only “leftist political and media elites” who find anthropogenic global warming to be a serious threat to life as it now exists on earth.

Excuse me… but ‘global warming nonsense’ is indeed a very real problem. And for you to assert that there is no nonsense involved in that arena shows you are not able to handle that plate of problems. The deceit, the falsification of climate data, criminally so, is extensive, and politically motivated. That is indeed the ‘nonsense’ she referred too. And that is very real.

Falsification? Some substance, I suppose, to that claim. Some climate scientists, in their zeal, have over-stepped the bounds of ethical scientific reporting, and, thereby, did a disservice to science and the search for truth.

That, in and of itself, does not refute their theory (and I use the word ‘theory’ in the way science uses it, as for instance, the theory of general relativity). I will note that the founder of modern genetics, Fr. Gregor Mendel, also probably “cherry picked” his data. Scientists too are human.

Perhaps you would be so kind as to explain to me how you can increase the concentration of greenhouses gases in a planet’s atmosphere while decreasing albedo, and not have the global temperature increase.

Indeed, scientists are human, but to give them vast leeway in regards to false data collection, and then to imply that one can’t question the ‘theory’ is a bit disingenuous.
Look, the falsification, and politicization of ‘global warming’ is a scandal, and even criminally so… so that’s not to diminish honest research and attempts to diminish unnecessary actions that may harm our worlds climate. But that is not what has taken place and it is a huge scandal of which Pamela was referring too. It is not some sacred concept that cannot be questioned.

I did not say you can’t question it. You are positing a straw man. I only that their reprehensible “cherry picking” of their data did not, as I think you implied, mean the theory was false.

Unfortunately, we are not dealing with abstract matters here. Warming of the planet affects all life on earth (e.g. it is a major contributor to the death of coral reefs and to the acidification of oceans) and has enormous economic consequences that affect people’s lives. As such, unlike the theory of relativity, it inevitably becomes an intensely political issue.

My initial objection was to Pamela’s ignorant dismissal of concerns about global warming as “nonsense”. It is a clear indicator of her own limitations.

I notice you didn’t rise to the challenge of explaining how you can increase the concentration of greenhouses gases in a planet’s atmosphere while decreasing albedo, and not have in the system’s temperature increase.

But you did question it… and that’s all that I was objecting too. Now, you go on to a particular area of concern, which deserve discussion but that isn’t the issue here. Pamela did refer to the global warming nonsense, as has been used for all manner of criticism of western culture, beyond any reasonable context. That, and the lying and fraudulence, you also did not and do not wish to discuss… and these are vast and profound.
I also posit that this was and is what she was implying, not the further discussions as to climate science. Also, this is not the discussion at hand but then, I would add to your question about warming this: have you seen any realistic program that actually effects any change, because I haven’t, except to bankrupt the world and give all the money to 3rd world nations out of guilt, and that is part of the global absurdity movement attached to global warming as a movement.

I have no idea what you are referring to here. I would note that the connection between an increase in greenhouse gases in an atmosphere and an ensuing rise in temperature, all other forcers remaining static, is well known. It’s basic physics.

And the rise in green house gases has occured naturally without any input from humankind.
Let me quote from a text: Neither the rate nor the magintude of the reported late 20th century surface warming (1979-2000) lay outside normal natural variability. The late 20th century warm peak was of no greater magnitude than previous peaks caused entirely by natural forces and feedbacks. Historically, increases in atmospheric CO2, followed increased in temperature, they did not precede them. Therefore, CO2 levels could not have forced temperatures to rise. Solar forcings are not too small to explain 20th century warming. In fact, their effect could be of equal to or greater than the effect of CO2 in the atmosphere. A warming of 2ºC or more during the 21st century would probably not be harful, on balance, because many areas of the world would benefit from or adjust to this climate change.. from

Mark-

Your claim that CO2 levels vary from natural causes, while true, is supremely irrelevant. In the context of this discussion, I’d even say it is intentionally misleading.

1979-2000) lay outside normal natural variability. The late 20th century warm peak was of no greater magintude (sic) than previous peaks caused entirely by natural forces and feedbacks. Historically, increases in atmospheric CO2, followed increased in temperature, they …

I find this too, while possibly accurate, to be impressively disingenuous. I suspect that past rates of change CO2 levels that were comparable to what we have seen in the the most recent 150 years were accompanied by exogenous events that homo sapiens would find most unpleasant: e.g. volcanic eruptions that exceed Krakatoa. Where I call home there is geological evidence of the Atlantic Ocean being over three meters higher than it is today. You might care to ruminate on the devastation such an event would cause. As I occasionally point out to people, just because it’s natural, doesn’t make it good from humanity’s perspective (e.g. Poisonous mushrooms that look like benign species).

Moreover, Singer’s claim about temperature increases having preceded CO2 concentration increases in no way supports a claim that the order could not be reversed. Singer’s claim that, “Therefore, CO2 levels could not have forced temperatures to rise” is entirely specious.

The fact is, recent global warming is almost certainly largely of anthropogenic origin. I think that means self- correcting natural forces will not necessarily return the system to “set point”. Therefore, betting humanity’s future on natural processes is a very dangerous and irresponsible policy, however convenient it might be for humans alive today.

I notice have you bothered to respond in any meaningful way to the challenge I first presented you.

I will close with a quote of my my choosing (Ref. 1):

Carbon dioxide levels are substantially higher now than at any time in the last 750 000 years. Beginning with the industrial revolution in the 18th century, the combustion of fossil fuels has elevated CO2 levels from a concentration of approximately 280 parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere in pre-industrial times to around 387 ppm today.

Concentrations are increasing at a rate of about 2–3 ppm/year. These increasing concentrations are projected to reach a range between 535 to 983 ppm in the atmosphere by the end of the 21st century.

A quote from a climate scientist which I found interesting: “When I participated in a NASA media conference call on Sept 22, 2008, I learned that NASA was announcing the findings from the satellite Ulysses after its 18 year voyage studying the Sun. The Ulysses passed the Sun three times. The first pass was during a solar minimum (a period of lower activity). The second pass of the Sun was during a solar maximum and the third pass during a less active period similar to the first pass (solar cycle 23). They noticed large differences between the two minimums, that on the third pass the Sun was emitting much less energy than the first pass, and the lowest amount of solar energy ever recorded (since the beginning of modern measurement with the advent of the space program). This only confirms my suspicion that the Sun is the primary driver of the world’s temperatures and not mankind. This explains the warming of the 1980’s and 1990’s and for the last sixteen years when global temperatures have not been increasing.

I have found that natural forces, and not CO2, are the primary drivers of our global climate. Solar activity, ocean cycles (PDO and AMO), as well as volcanic activity have the largest impact, by far, on temperatures. Never in geological history has CO2 been a driver of the climate. I was surprised to learn that in 85% of the last 600,000,000 years, CO2 levels were higher than today. They were at least 5 times times higher in the Dinosaur Period. There were also three ice ages with more CO2 than today, one had fifteen times more!

CO2 levels were higher than today in 85% of the past 600 million years

CO2 levels were as much as 20 times higher than today.

CO2 levels were 5 times higher in the Dinosaur Period.

There were 3 ices ages with more CO2 than today, one had 15 times more.

CO2 levels are, today, among the lowest in the history of the planet.

CO2 has never been observed to be a driver of the climate in the geological

record!

Satellites show that there has been no measurable atmospheric global warming

for almost 19 years (with the exception of the recent El Nino from natural causes).

Global temperatures are not the warmest ever, temperatures were mostly

warmer in the prior 8,000 years and including the Roman and Medieval Periods

Probably true. But supremely irrelevant. After all, for most of the planet’s history, Homo sapiens did not exist and conditions were not suitable for our species.

You have displayed an ability to assemble facts, butseem to have considerable difficulty connecting them in a meaningful way. The facts you cite- the one above being a prime example- are marginally relevant to whatever argument you are tying to make in terms of discounting the significance of greenhouse gases global warming in general. At best you adduce a set of tangentially relevant facts that glibly support whatever case you are trying to make. Overall, consistent with the tenor of this site. Maybe you have a bright future in “journalism”.

Finally, I notice you have not bothered to address the rather specific challenge I posed to you in my first response to you.

I simply quoted scientists with some expertise. You made assertions essentially demanding that we are in a critical period where the worst must be assumed. I mentioned the perfidy and lying that has accompanied this period of fairly fraudulent research and politicization, and questioned the veracity of that forced urgency demanding that you use again and again. So… now, it’s your right to demean my quotes as beneath your level… isn’t that part of your demand for whatever it is your demanding, which is, what it is…. demanding. Oh, and you and your specific challenge was addressed by the scientists I quoted but for you, and Al Gore it’s your way or the highway… isn’t it? I personally support full research on the issues, but criminal prosecution of the frauds, and liars is long overdue… and without this there can’t be a return to a semblance of genuine science.

Rachel Maddow’s a lying imbecile. Venezuela’s been melting down ever since Hugo Chavez took it over and instituted socialism. Chavez died and hard core Bolivarian Dreaming Socialist Nicolás Maduro took over and socialized even more to where the country’s broken, and have taken the people to the depths of hell. According to Maddcow, Trump’s to blame if anybody’s caught jay walking today….

That’s interesting, because it means the real culprits, who decades ago set this process in motion, don’t get blamed, the real causes aren’t traced out and corrected. All because it is politically convenient to blame it on Trump, who happens to be the current target for demonization.

Well, gee, a bird left some droppings on my car last week. Can I blame Trump for that ? Maddow is off the rails. Her reasoning, wacked out and baseless conclusions are the result of extremely well programming from headquarters. She’s an empty shell. No one should pay her any mind.
