Obama official helped prepare dire National Climate Assessment
Washington Times ^ | Nov. 28, 2018 | Valarie Richardson

A former Obama administration official with ties to a liberal advocacy group funded by Democratic megadonors George Soros and Tom Steyer helped prepare the Fourth National Climate Assessment, whose dire predictions have since been attacked as overblown.

Andrew Light, who worked on the 2015 Paris accord negotiations as a senior adviser to the U.S. Special Envoy on Climate Change under Secretary of State John F. Kerry, served as a review editor for the assessment, overseeing the pivotal final chapter that concluded under a worst-case scenario that global warming could wipe out as much as 10 percent of the U.S. economy by 2100.

Now a senior fellow at the World Resources Institute, Mr. Light also spent five years as senior fellow and director of international climate policy at the Center for American Progress, which was founded and now led by longtime Democratic insider John Podesta. The center is also financed by liberal billionaires such as Mr. Soros and Mr. Steyer.

The involvement of Mr. Light and other figures known for their climate change advocacy has raised questions about the credibility of the report, which has been widely depicted as a politically neutral, scientific document prepared by disinterested specialists from 13 federal agencies.

The truth is, these crazy Elites actually do use the Bible as some sort of NWO coded message for their ears only... the “climate change” they fear are the catastrophes God will rain down on them in the Apocalypse. They just want to claim credit now and capitalize on it... for example, the “extreme heat” prophesied in the Bible for the End Times.

The Uniparty Elites are those God warns against in Psalm 2.Psalm 2

1 Why do the nations conspire[a]

and the peoples plot in vain?

2 The kings of the earth rise up

and the rulers band together

against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,

3 “Let us break their chains

and throw off their shackles.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;

the Lord scoffs at them.

5 He rebukes them in his anger

and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

6 “I have installed my king

on Zion, my holy mountain.”

7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son;

today I have become your father.

8 Ask me,

and I will make the nations your inheritance,

the ends of the earth your possession.

9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b];

you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;

be warned, you rulers of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear

and celebrate his rule with trembling.

12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry

and your way will lead to your destruction,

for his wrath can flare up in a moment.

Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Footnotes:

Psalm 2:1 Hebrew; Septuagint rage... Psalm 2:9 Or will rule them with an iron scepter (see Septuagint and Syriac)

I think he did. But recall the primary season blacklists, etc. Trump is not a career politician and did not have the support of his own party. He did not have a bench to draw new hires from and tried to make peace with the GOPe. That failed due to GOPe backstabbing, obviously.

Then, to top it off the first targets of the coup plotters where his loyalists. Flynn, Sessions, etc. POTUS has been hamstrung from the transition period and is doing the best he can.
