The annual State of the Climate Report, compiled by more than 450 scientists from over 60 countries, describes worsening climate conditions worldwide in 2017, the same year that US President Donald Trump pulled out of the landmark Paris climate deal.
The United States is the world’s second-leading polluter after China but has rolled back environmental safeguards under Trump, who has declared climate change a “Chinese hoax” and exited the Paris deal signed by more than 190 nations as a path toward curbing harmful emissions.
The 300-page report issued by the American Meteorological Society and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) mentioned the word “abnormal” a dozen times, referring to storms, droughts, scorching temperatures and record low ice cover in the Arctic.
Why Andrew Bolt works for IS
The vast majority of American Muslims oppose extremism and violence by Muslims or anyone else and have no wish to live under the brutal rule practised by jihadist fanatics. As a religious minority in a country where their faith makes them potential victims of hate crimes, Muslims have stronger reasons than most Americans for believing in and practising religious tolerance, not holy war. Keeping Muslim Americans as allies and maintaining their trust in our common values and political and legal institutions will be critical in successfully opposing extremist violence. Losing that trust and driving them away, as the Islamophobes’ ugly falsehoods inevitably will, can only help the terrorists.
The man whose family is from Aalsmeer in the Netherlands isn't a friend of the Jews after all. The Dutch got rid of 66% of the Jews from the Netherlands in WW2 the greatest % of any European country even Germany. Post WW2 they sold themselves as protectors until busted by research and not just opinion. Bolt's bilingual holds two passports and is an admitted europhile who dreams of retiring in Europe. Furthermore, he's an extreme ethnocentric assimilationist which is an extreme minority in this country yet lives his personal life in a contradictory fashion. He's simply an uneducated shit-stirrer in a suit and as a Jewish judge once said a poor example of a journalist and/or informed commentator who simply rides on the coattails of a bigger problem in Australia Murdoch's divisive News Corp (ODT)
The president of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria, Jennifer Huppert, said articles such as Bolt’s do nothing for the cohesion of Australian society.
“There is a rise in ultra-rightwing activity in Victoria and this type of activity can fuel antisemitic, anti-Islamic and general racist debate and language in our community,” Huppert told Guardian Australia. “Articles like this definitely don’t help cohesion in society.”
Bolt singles out groups such as Chinese, Cambodian, Indian and Jewish and quotes what percentage of the community where they live that they represent.
“In Melbourne’s North Caulfield, 41 per cent of residents are Jews, including hundreds who have lately fled South Africa,” he said. “Dandenong now has an official Little Indian Cultural Precinct, with 33 Indian businesses.”
Huppert says listing the percentage of the community that is Jewish is meaningless.
“It tells us nothing about social cohesion. It doesn’t inform the debate in any meaningful way, it’s purely looking at census figures,” she said.
“It doesn’t say whether they are integrated into the broader community.
“You’d be very hard-pressed to say Jews hadn’t integrated into the wider community and I think you can extrapolate that to other migrant groups as well.
The fact is these people come here for the opportunity, freedom and equity we espouse. The freedom to vote, Practice Religion, Work, Separation of Powers and Secular Justice system, in fact, everything Andrew Bolt rails against, So the question is why is he here?

I think Andrew Bolt just loves telling the story any which way he can. One really needs to ask why the DT Murdoch paper reported the story in the first place without any verification there seems to have been an awfully full room at the time and so lots of people could have been questioned. Bolt just loves the telling of the story which gets him the attention without the accusations of slut-shaming a woman.
HUSAR WITCHHUNT CROSSES THE LINE
Emma Husar denies flashing at fellow Labor MP Jason Clare. Clare denies it, too. So why was this smear leaked and published? My editorial from The Bolt Report.

He's even posted the story twice and never really named the crowd in the room but has full climbed aboard the strategy that even if your yelling your a "crusader" your drawing attention to possibilities of not that News Corp is broadcasting "fake news" but that they might just be the victim of it. However, it seems their reporters and editors aren't in the business of digging deep for any truth here and are continuing the message and strategy of slut-shaming women
THEY DAY IS BULLYING
Parnell McGuinness says the "They Day" - a war by Victorian public servants against using "he" and "they" - is really about bullying, not politeness to those of non-binary gender. From The Bolt Report.

You want safe schools Bolt doesn't. You want a safe Public Service Bolt doesn't. You want a great and safe Australia a settler country where all people are different but are guaranteed equity and universal human rights Bolt doesn't. He prefers to name, shame to bully those that might just threaten his privileges ones he readily calls "them" and "not us" and any number of derogatory terms like "frightbats". So calling out bullying is bullying according to Bolt the white male, heterosexual Christian bully the victim of all those he sees as "others" and are complaining. Since when has language not changed over time to accommodate rather than exclude people?

" there is no longer an "us". Bolt Bolt is, in fact, admitting he's the square peg in a land of round holes. He's a migrant by his own definition of "migrants" the son of first-generation migrants 50% of Australians which he says is growing but denies he's a part of.
Why is reality "left"? The only change we saw occurring since the 50s was the power of the WASPS was shrinking White Anglo-Saxon Protestants and Bolt isn't one was never one and it seems his only entry into what he calls "us" he married one which was an active act of shrinkage on his part. However, Bolt is like the old Freemasons with their secret handshake and a law of silence he expects others to know what "us" means without having to spell it out. Hardly recognizable is the man with Dutch dogs Tulips in his Garden and Opera in German blaring from his front door wearing Orange when watching football and no pictures of Australian in his holiday albums. Who the "F" is he? Oh yes, he's the idiot who says he's an indigenous Australian more indigenous than Adam Goodes.
Many whites, the benefactors of — among so many things — having a several-hundred-year head start are choosing to interpret the normal historic process of immigrant transition as acts of invasion even when they are migrants themselves. They also try to raise black crime to a level of race war when everything about Australia is multicultural except the treatment of indigenous Australians since invasion day.
NEW YORK TIMES HIRES RACIST
The Left are the racists they condemn: "The New York Times announced Monday it hired left-wing writer Sarah Jeong, who has a long history of racist tweets, to be the lead technology writer." Jeong's racism is excused because she hates whites. Examples: "cancelwhitepeople" and "white people [are] only fit to live underground like groveling goblins”.
"Substitute any other colour and see how that flies."Bolt
So let's do this " Let's try to understand what it is Bolt is even saying. The NYT employs Racists, not the NYT is Racists.
"white people [are] only fit to live underground like grovelling goblins”, "cancel white people" and "Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants". This sounds like reality to me describing somebody suffering yes it could be an African and Aborigine a Muslim an Indian or even a Jew saying it and it's understandable. This, however, doesn't
"African people (are) only fit to live underground like grovelling goblins" "they don't belong here" that sounds only like an Andrew Bolt to me.
Racism, however, is systemic it's not individual prejudice.
"White stereotyping of Africans in Australia closes the doors of equal opportunity and integration into the Australian community." "Black African stereotyping of Whites in Australia closes the doors of equal opportunity and prevents whites from integration into the Australian community" QED Andrew Bolt is a Racist but also an Idiot.
The NYT allows their employees to hold their individual opinions equally and without systemic racism. Sky News locks it's commentators into exclusive contracts and demands them to be of a particular political persuasion which inevitably makes News Corp Racist no matter the colour of the individuals hired.

PAYWALL
Bolt calls it "fake news" but ends with PowerLines conclusion in this post which isn't too flattering for a die-hard Trump supporter.
" When he is riffing in public, Trump often speaks imprecisely, so it is possible that sometime, somewhere, he has said without qualification that the press is the enemy of the people. But I think anyone who pays attention knows that he is talking about" Hinderaker
Trump is an idiot who will say anything at the time that will get him media attention. In other words, he's a yo-yo most of the time.
DODSON'S RECKLESS WARNING
This sounds perilously like a threat or an incitement by a man who has recklessly stoked resentments with his fake claims of "genocide": "Simmering anger in indigenous Australia over a failure to make good for past wrongs could easily turn into organised armed resistance, Aboriginal academic Mick Dodson has warned."
2h
This is racist attention grabbing at it's worst suggesting that Mick Dodson is doing even anything similar to what Andrew Bolt has been doing for years to Muslims, Africans, for years. Yes, Bolt was regarded as Isil's best influencer and asset down under, the media person most likely to succeed in creating armed Jihadi resistense in Australia. Dodson is a Lawyer, an Academic, and an Australian of the Year, who happens to be indigenous and not as loosely described by Andrew Bolt "an Aboriginal Academic". Australian academics don't have Bolt's racist use of a descriptive before their occupations. Bolt denies he's a Dutch commentator or an immigrant commentator yet describes the first-born of other immigrant arrivals as not real Australians Dodson job has little or nothing to do with the with his race. However, he can speak for the Indigenous because even Bolt acknowledges he's more indigenous than him.
Bolt, however, also seems to acknowledge there is some basis for indigenous simmering anger and that's the failure of White Australian History to acknowledge the "past wrongs" commited despite the fact most Australians are ready to say sorry.
As for violence, Andrew Bolt, unlike Mick, has called for violence after his attempt at GBH in Carlton. He loudly called for retaliation like his gutsy performance by our gutless Christian Right. Bolt literally called for pushback of the kind seen in Barcelona and committed by a brave and determined jihadi youth. Bolt wanted to see Christian determination of the same calibre. He was calling for warlike Cronulla 2005.
