In Phoenix we are having one of the coolest Summers I can remember but it's probably caused by global warming.

Why that young lawyer is Hillary the Harpy. Was this taken before or after she was sanctioned for her unethical conduct during Watergate? Or maybe about the time she defended a rapist she knew was guilty, got him off on a technicality and laughed about it?

As long as the old guard is front and center I don't think they can. But the takedown will come BUT only when all of us old baby boomers are gone and there's no one to remember(the holocaust/Vietnam war /ww1/ww2 etc) because they are slowly making our history disappear. So sad we thought our work was done and all the evildoers were gone we forgot that evil is sly, hides in the shadows are in the whispers that are passed and in innocent ears become truth I truly fear for the younger and unfortunately uneducated generation to what lies ahead.

It's the hottest day ever recorded in Europe, as Earth hurtles deeper into the climate crisis

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/6/28/1867951/-It-s-the-hottest-day-ever-recorded-in-Europe-as-Earth-hurtles-deeper-into-the-climate-crisis?detail=emaildkre

On Friday, France recorded the highest temperature ever experienced at any location in that country. The 44.3° C reading (about 111° F) at the town of Carpentras is an all-time record, but it’s just part of a massive heat wave that has been baking much of Europe. The heat wave has closed schools and businesses unequipped to deal with such temperatures. It’s sparked record wildfires in Spain and led to water-rationing across several nations.
The five hottest European summers in the last 600 years have all come in the last twenty years. And 2019 is looking like it may provide not just the hottest day, but the hottest week, month, and year as the radically destabilized weather system continues to draw scalding air farther and farther north. Germany is experiencing it’s hottest June ever. Temperatures in Italy have turned deadly. And records have been shattered across at least six nations. The wave of hot air is also bringing up dust from the Sahara, prompting health warnings because of both temperatures and air quality.
And it’s not just Europe. The United States is also looking at record temperatures for June. Heat has spread across every region of the country, bringing triple-digit temperatures from the Southwest to the East Coast. The record heat follows record flooding. Record fires. Record storms.
And all of it is part of the climate crisis. All of it is coming because the Earth is now saddled with a level of carbon in the atmosphere that hasn’t been seen in the whole time that human beings have existed as a species. This is a whole new world—one that is distinctly inimical to the lives and civilization we have constructed.
That’s why European leaders are determined to come away from the G-20 with actual, enforceable progress on the climate crisis. And why Donald Trump is likely to find that Vladimir Putin and Mohammed bin Salman are his buddies in more than just their love for getting rid of journalists. The United States, Russia, and Saudi Arabia are likely to be the three nations that stand in the way of taking serious action on the climate—a toxic trio fueled by ignorance and greed.
Thanks to Trump, the United States is on the wrong side of history. And also thanks to Trump, history itself is at risk.

I suggest that all climate worry warts live off grid and ride around in horse drawn buggies in a sustainable fashion like my neighbors the Amish do.
Set an example for the rest of us or shut TF up.
BTW, The USA has done more than its share to reduce pollution levels. How many years/decades have we been paying an extra $300 for vehicles to be equipped with catalytic converters for instance?
In 1970 and 71 I flew around Kentucky, Ohio and PA in Army helicopters. I have 35mm slides of the pollution below 3,000 feet from above. I wished we could have stayed above that brown muck. Much better these days.

Heat and drought in India. How unprecedented that is.

Boiling heat in Spain. Normally Spain is so cool in summer.

Record setting heat in Florida. Who could have predicted that ?

So what are YOU doing about it? Are you driving a car or use a taxi? Do you fly in planes? How do you heat/cool your house? Do you have a boat? If you live on a farm, did you get rid of your cows yet? All other animals fart, too, why only get rid of cows?

What you need to do is start checking the activity of the sun because that is what influences the climate on earth. NOT cow farts.

I do not care that much about anything or anyone


Now we all can see where your words come from. Since you don’t care much about anything or anyone, you live your life hating. Your examples are here for all to see.

The bias means nothing so long as the facts are there to back what is being said. To be honest, while Trump is in office, any actual factual reporting will negatively reflect on his administration. It would take a ton of spin to turn his buffoonery into presidential actions and spin IS dishonesty, non-factual, propaganda, LIES!

I AM somewhat conservative, I am also somewhat liberal as well. Liars are liars regardless of their party, or lack thereof. Those telling the truth are telling the truth, I much prefer truth sayers over liars, just give me the facts and I am happy. But of course since I am "party challenged" (without a party or not aligned with ANY party), I will admit that the bias of the source does tend to be of little importance to me.

Yes, when reporting on scientific studies, they CAN be manipulated but then that would no longer be factual now would it? Spin as you like but we both know what spin is, LIES! Only the nut jobs try to counter known scientific facts. It appears as though the Trump party does appear to be mentally unstable, believing lies over truth, fiction over fact, basically, to them, alternate reality > reality.

As for your assertion "If their reporting was merely self-admittedly biased against liberals/progressives you would not be quite so enamoured with it.", as long as the FACTS supported their bias, I would be fine with it. I am even somewhat amused by some of the mild bias I see in some conservative media. It is the alt-right bias that tends to annoy me the most, but then their bias isn't very factual, in fact, most of it is contrary to actual facts. The best comedy is that which has some basis in fact. I also am not too enamored with the alt left either. You don't seem very concerned about truth or facts based on your attempt to lump me in as a Democrat or a liberal.

I must say that during this administration, I do prefer people mistaking me for a Democrat much better than if one were to try to call me a Trump supporter, that would be the true insult.

Why did you waste your time typing this out? It's absolutely meaningless, Trump supporter.
