Hillary’s Campaign Stays Classy, Takes Money From The Clan, Then Releases The Trolls:

As things stand, I am waiting for Hillary to screech “And I’ll get your little dog too. First it turns out her campaign has been taking money from the clan

“A prominent Ku Klux Klan leader says that the group has raised thousands of dollars for Hillary Clinton’s campaign and that the Klan is officially endorsing the Democratic frontrunner for president—a claim the Clinton campaign vigorously denies.”

Which goes well with their “Colored People’s Time” fiasco.

Then she decides to silence Bernie’s internet presence by paying internet trolls to attack his social media.

“Last week, Correct The Record (CTR), David Brock’s super PAC that coordinates with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, announced that it was spending $1m on social media in an effort to combat Bernie Sanders’ online dominance. How, specifically? By paying trolls. ”

“Needless to say, Sanders supporters were outraged. The Reddit group /r/SandersForPresident/ became a central hub during the down time. There and elsewhere, many angry users exchanged theories that this was the work of CTR’s paid trolls who had spammed the groups, posting inappropriate pornographic materials, only to then report the material to Facebook.”

Between her and Trump, I pray Cruz wins.


CO2 Increasing Food Production And Plant Water Efficiency:

Two new papers in the journal “Nature Climate Change” are pointing out the positive benefits of increased Co2 . The first claims that increased CO2 concentrations account for 70% of the increased greening of the earth and increased plant growing seasons

“We show a persistent and widespread increase of growing season integrated LAI (greening) over
25% to 50% of the global vegetated area, whereas lessthan 4% of the globe shows decreasing LAI (browning). Factorial simulations with multiple global ecosystem models suggest that CO2 fertilization effects explain 70% of the observed greening trend,”
While the second shows increased CO2 levels allow plants to make better use of water
We find CO2 effects increase global CWP by 10%–27% (median[interquartile range] across the model ensemble) by the 2080s depending on crop types, with particularly large increases in arid regions (by up to 48% for rainfed wheat).
The extra growth so far is roughly equivalent to four billion giant sequoias. With a world population due to hit nine billion in the near future, I have to count this a good thing and ask just why did we want less CO2 again ?
