HOMESTEAD, Florida — Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) told demonstrators and the assembled media outside the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children that migrant children from Central America “had no choice but to come here” because climate change had ravaged their countries.

O’Rourke said that rising temperatures had created droughts, which made it more difficult for people to grow their own food. That, he said, forced them to undertake the arduous journey on foot to the U.S. border, and to cross illegally.

O’Rourke was the fourth presidential candidate to visit the protest outside the facility, where thousands of teenagers, most of whom arrived unaccompanied, are temporarily housed until they can be handed over to a sponsor in the U.S.

Liar.

What current increase in global temperatures that has occurred has happened in the arctic winter, and higher night temperatures due to increased water vapor in the temperate zone. I have seen nothing at all that has shown any statistically significant shifts in rainfall anywhere.

That’s because climate change is racist.

Head popper for true believers:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Wait a minute — in the previous article Bernie Sanders proclaimed that migration was due to violence. So is the combined Bernie-Beeta plan to end the migration crisis by refrigerating Central America to stop the violence?

Beto is lying and his claim that Central Americans are flooding this country to escape climate change in their home country are ludicrous.

There has been no discernible change in the climate in Central America in the last century, nor has there been any droughts or other wide spread weather event such as flooding that could cause famines or epidemics.

Central America is pretty much the same depressing Third World dump that it has always been and weather, temperature and climate have not changed in any way that impacts the daily lives of the people there.

Beto is just making a false assertion that has absolutely no basis in fact.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
