Fake news has become part of the daily lexicon due to efforts of once respected news outlets such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN to destroy the candidacy and now the presidency of Donald Trump. Fake news is produced with the singular goal of advancing a political agenda the agenda of the left.
Fake news has also permeated another cause near and dear to the left: climate change, formerly known as global warming.
The Daily Mail reported on a high-level whistleblower at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) revealing fake news from the government agency. Specifically, NOAA "[r]ushed to publish a landmark paper that exaggerated global warming and was timed to influence the historic Paris Agreement on climate change."
Why the NOAA publication? U.N. scientists in 2013 noted a "pause" in global warming since 1998, confounding Al Gore, Prince Charles, Barack Obama, Leo DiCaprio, and others riding the global warming bandwagon. This pause was problematic in that it threw the entire man-made global warming proposition back to the drawing board. Why was there such a pause? Industrial activity hadn't slowed. CO2 emissions were as robust as ever. The U.S. still hadn't joined the Kyoto treaty. Why would there be a pause?
The idea of a "pause" goes against the central premise of the climate change movement that the planet is warming, that the warming is due to human activity, and that the warming can be stopped or reversed only by government intervention in terms of taxes and regulation.

Don't ever forget that , Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
This story is almost a week old now. Still the only place you see it is on a British news source. A US government agency dupes us and it gets not one story on MSM. Meanwhile a bunch of asshat GOPe’s go to the White House to push a carbon tax.
