SNIP:
The regime's final pivot into permanent cynicism.
By Ross Kaminsky 5.8.14
If theres one thing that you have to give the Obama administration credit for, its large brass cojones. Theres absolutely nothing they wont say with a straight face, or do without fear of real punishment because, after all, with a supine media and an over-cautious House Republican leadership, who is left to punish a president who will never run for elected office again and doesnt care whether his fellow Democrats keep their jobs?
While Republicans fitfully pursue contempt against Lois Lerner and form a select committee to dig into the Benghazi cover-up, the mainstream media pretend none of it is happening; following Speaker of the House John Boehners announcement of the new Benghazi investigation, none of the three primetime broadcast news programs even mentioned it. As Charles Krauthammer put it regarding Benghazi but it applies to the IRS scandal and almost every other Obama administration failing and scandal The point is that Republicans have done a terrible job in building the case.
Sure, were treated to the sound of ABCs Jonathan Karl aggressively questioning White House Press Secretary Jay Carney all but calling him a liar (which he most certainly is) but what does it matter if Karls bosses dont care?
Initial news of the Ben Rhodes e-mail that finally pushed John Boehner to act received 46 seconds of coverage by ABC News. As Newsbusters put it, they gave twice that amount of coverage to the U.S. Olympic speedskating suits. ABCs deep dive is nevertheless commendable compared to the zero seconds of coverage at NBC and CBS. But then, Jay Carney assured us that the Ben Rhodes e-mail instructing Susan Rice to talk about a video as the source of Middle East protests was not about Benghazi. So that settles it, right?
In addition to having on staff the most accomplished scoundrels since Enron and the most proficient word-twisters since Bill Clintons that depends on what the meaning of is is, this administrations other consistent predilection is trying to change the subject when things arent going their way. They are constantly pivoting, as in pivot to jobs (how many times have you heard that one?) or pivot to the economy or pivot to Asia, each of which now gets a smirk of Seriously? Again? even from such liberal bastions as Foreign Policy magazine and the aforementioned ABC News.
With the president facing his lowest approval ratings ever despite his victory lap for having coerced over 8 million people (although that number is likely also a lie) to sign up for expensive health insurance with high deductibles and despite the medias complicity in trying to portray forcing two million young adults to subsidize their grandparents healthcare as success, its time for another pivot.
So right on schedule, this week we get the National Climate Assessment, a U.S.-version of the United Nations regular fear-mongering IPCC report, full of misdirection, hype, and the occasional outright lie. A glance at the organizations behind the report, including NOAA, NASA, and the EPA, points not just to the 300 experts and the 60-member Federal Advisory Committee behind this travesty of a document but to thousands of other government employees and grant money recipients whose meal ticket is dependent on scaring Americans into believing were all about to die of some combination of rising sea levels, hurricanes, and shorter winters created by the increase in atmospheric plant food known as carbon dioxide.
At the beginning of the reports highlights, a very dramatic picture is shown of an iceberg shearing off from a glacier, creating a giant spray of water and frost, with a caption that says, The ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica are losing mass, adding to global sea level rise.
Greenland is a favorite subject for climate alarmists because its ice sheet has been losing mass for a couple of decades. (They seem to forget that the Vikings settled on a verdant Greenland beginning a millennium ago, leaving about 500 years later just before the Little Ice Age.) Antarctica, pace the reports distortions, has been gaining mass for at least as long. The dirty little secret: Antarcticas ice mass is 9 times that of Greenland. And Antarctica by itself holds roughly 90 percent of the worlds sea ice.
To disguise the fact that the huge ice sheet is gaining mass while the (relatively) small one is losing mass, the National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC), demonstrating the many grains of salt with which to swallow the current Assessment, says, Together, the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets contain more than 99 percent of the freshwater ice on Earth. Right. And together, blacks and Asians make up 79 percent of players in the NBA.
Theres a reason that Mark Twain (apparently quoting Benjamin Disraeli) said, There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Earlier this year, data showed that Antarctic sea ice extent continues to track very high in January, reaching the second-highest monthly extent in the 36-year satellite monitoring record. New monthly extent records were set for each month between August and November, and December was tied for the record (within the limits of the precision). Again, this is the place that holds about 90 percent of the worlds sea ice.
