The GBRA’s 2019 Summer Party was an over the top success. With over 260 people in attendance, abundant food, intelligent, articulate speakers and loads of good, old fashioned Republican camaraderie a good time was had by all. Our main speakers, George Papadopoulos and Simona Mangiante were charming and informative, and quite personable. They stayed and chatted with the organizers even when there was nobody but us clean up crew left.
Much to everyone’s amusement there were even a few sad sack protesters outside the event. Seriously, where do they get these people with nothing better to do on a beautiful Sunday afternoon than to stand around holding signs reading “Impeach”?
This event was a great start to the 2020 political season and there is yet much work to do. But we will do it, and make America Great Again.
entirely about pols agitating for more taxes, more power and control. But, hey! Following on the Democrat Climate Fandango the other night, who doesn’t want the pols to have more power and control?
occurred during the Crusades. It would be like driving from New York to Los Angeles with all your windows blacked out and your only input to the world your backup camera on 24 hour delay. What could go wrong?
course of six years he refused to provide the court with the raw data that backed up his claims. This is nothing new for Mann, he has never released the raw data, only his massaged data. Now step with me into the Way Back Machine and let’s 
go back to the 5th grade when we learned about the scientific method. One of the steps in the process, and all of them are critical, is to keep careful records of the results of your experiments and make that data available to other scientists so they can run their own experiments and test your theory for themselves. By refusing to release the raw data Mann, and others are no longer doing science, they are doing religion based on private revelation.
The claim is made that AGW must be true because there is a scientific consensus, supposedly up around 97%. That claim is hotly disputed by hundreds of climate scientists. But even if it were true, what of it? Science advances because somebody noticed 
something that didn’t fit the theory and set about investigating it, and sometimes proposing a new theory that fits the facts better. If scientific fact were based on consensus NASA would be calculating orbits on Ptolemaic epicycles and your physician would be bleeding you with leeches to balance your humors.
grown, sea levels have not risen but remained stable, some glaciers are melting, but most have grown, snowfalls are not a thing of the past but have become more frequent and more intense in the Northern hemisphere. In short, observation contradicts the theory’s predictions. A scientist would conclude that there’s something wrong with the theory and try and figure out a better theory. That doesn’t seem to be happening among the oh-so-woke elites. I’ll let you come up with a theory as to why that is, this discussion focuses on “Climate Change”, renamed from the failed Anthropogenic Global Warming, and the proposed human responses to it.
I propose that climate change has been going on since the planet coalesced out of the primordial circumsolar debris field. I further propose that the premise that human activity is not the primary driver of climate change is false. 
Because civilization requires energy human activity has had a larger influence on the planet but that is is certainly not the major influencer of climate variability as human energy sources are a tiny fraction of the total planetary energy budget. By far and away the Sun is the largest and most important energy 
source for good old Earth. Were I feeling more combative that I do at the moment I would suggest that the reason that Climate Alarmists never talk about the Sun is because there is no way they can claim any power to influence it so it gets ignored. But ignoring the Sun an error. The Sun is a variable star. Fortunately for us it’s variability is truly minor or we would not exist to remark on it. In the below video this (Oh, no, Russian!) scientist proposes a theory as to what is driving climate variability. Ordinary observation will determine whether her theory holds water. Myself I am inclined to think it does. Let’s compare notes in, say, 2022 and see what we think.
