Global Warming Doomsday Prophesy: 100 Million Climate Refugees by 2050
David Wallace-Wells is taking his climate change fear mongering to a new level. He has transformed his doomsday pieces featured in the past two years in New York magazine into a book, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, released today.
James Delingpole, the executive editor of Breitbart London, has written about Wallace-Wells’ previous over-the-top predictions about global warming, including an article in the magazine last year:
“More than half of all fossil fuel emissions have been emitted in the last 25 years, which means that we’ve now done more damage to the climate than in all of the millennia before and all of the centuries before.”
• “4.3 degrees of warming would mean $600 trillion in damages from climate impacts. Six hundred trillion dollars is double all of the wealth that exists in the world today. Our agriculture would probably be about half as bountiful, so the same plot of land would be producing about half as much yield in a world that we would have at least 50 percent more people to feed.”
“U.N. estimates for the number of climate refugees that could be produced just by 2050 – on the conservative end of their estimates, we’re dealing with 100 million climate refugees by 2050.”
Delingpole is not the only critic of Wallace-Wells’ climate change reporting.

James Delingpole, the executive editor of Breitbart London, has written about Wallace-Wells’ previous over-the-top predictions about global warming, including an article in the magazine last year:
Climate change is going to kill at least 150 million people and there’s nothing we can do to stop it.Now that the book is in print, the author is making the rounds to promote it, including in an interview with National Public Radio (NPR) where he announces more staggering numbers attributed to climate change.
Well, at least it is if you believe climate doomster David Wallace-Wells in the latest issue of New York magazine. Things are bad. Really bad. We didn’t listen and now we can expect to pay a terrible price — starting with all those deaths:
Numbers that large can be hard to grasp, but 150 million is the equivalent of 25 Holocausts. It is five times the size of the death toll of the Great Leap Forward — the largest non-military death toll humanity has ever produced. It is three times the greatest death toll of any kind: World War II.

The temptation to paint a dire picture of climate change, at a time when the Trump administration seems bent on questioning a widely accepted body of climate science and withdrawing from international agreements, is clear. But the picture still has to be plausible and accurate, a number of scientists argued this week in response to...
Arizona workers may soon have to give their DNA to the state and pay $250 for the privilege
Arizona could soon be one of the first states to maintain a massive statewide DNA database.
And if the proposed legislation passes, many people — from parent school volunteers and teachers to real estate agents and foster parents — will have no choice but to give up their DNA.
And if the proposed legislation passes, many people — from parent school volunteers and teachers to real estate agents and foster parents — will have no choice but to give up their DNA.
There is no requirement for welfare recipients in the bill.
Under Senate Bill 1475, which Sen. David Livingston, R-Peoria, introduced, DNA must be collected from anyone who has to be fingerprinted by the state for a job, to volunteer in certain positions or for a myriad of other reasons.
The bill would even authorize the medical examiner's office in each county to take DNA from any bodies that come into their possession.
The Department of Public Safety would maintain the collected DNA alongside the person's name, Social Security number, date of birth and last known address.
Any DNA in the database could be accessed and used by law enforcement in a criminal investigation. It could also be shared with other government agencies across the country for licensing, death registration, to identify a missing person or to determine someone's real name.
It could also be provided to someone conducting "legitimate research."
A $250 fee could be collected from a person who submits biological samples, according to the bill. It's not clear who would foot the cost for the dead.
No other state does this
No other state has anything this expansive in place, according to David Kaye, an associate dean for research at Penn State University who studies genetics and its application in law.
Kaye said the proposed bill is one step away from requiring DNA from anyone who wants a driver's license.
Currently in Arizona, DNA is collected from anyone convicted of a felony or of a misdemeanor sex crime. If passed, the bill would expand the current database exponentially.
The proposed database appears to be focused on making it easier for law enforcement to use DNA in investigations, but Kaye said it's not targeting the right people to make a significant impact when it comes to solving cases.
Collecting DNA from the dead could solve some longstanding cold cases, while having DNA from law enforcement volunteers on file might weed out accidental crime scene contamination.
"It doesn’t seem like solving crimes is a big priority here," Kaye said. "It’s not focusing on the people most likely to be linked to crimes, it’s just spreading the...

Illegal Immigrant Arrested for Raping Child in Kentucky
An illegal immigrant living in Kentucky has been arrested after he was caught raping a young girl on three separate occasions.
“According to sheriff’s department officials, the investigation showed a 15-year-old female that had been sexually assaulted between March and May of 2016 in McCracken County on three different occasions by Andres Villarrealmercado. He is facing three counts of rape, first-degree,” said a KFVS report.
Bigleaguepolitics.com reports: Feb. 10, the McCracken County Sheriff’s Office reportedly opened an investigation into the three incidents of rape, all of which allegedly occurred in 2016.
The department located Villarrealmercado five days later and arrested him without incident.
They confirmed that he was in the United States illegally.
Villarrealmercado is reportedly being held in the McCracken County Jail on $100,000 bond.
News of the latest completely preventable and horrific crime committed at the hands of an illegal alien comes as the battle over border security rages in Washington, D.C. President Donald J. Trump compromised with the radical, open borders-supporting Democrats, accepting their bogus terms in the latest budget bill, which only provides $1.3 billion for a border wall. The bill also restricts where and how Trump can build the wall.
As a counter, Trump declared a National Emergency and plans to use $8 billion from the Department of Defense budget to construct the barrier. Sixteen states have already teamed up for a lawsuit against...

Minnesota: Christian Pastor Arrested at Mall of America Faces Hearing and Trial After Talking to Muslims
Ramin Parsa, an ex-Muslim Christian pastor who was stabbed in Iran, imprisoned in Turkey, and then arrested in the Mall of America for sharing his testimony with interested Muslim women, faces a settlement conference in March and likely a trial in April. The state of Minnesota has continued to prosecute his case, even though the Mall of America was wrong to accuse him of trespassing in the first place.
In late August 2018, Parsa was visiting the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minn. Two Somali-American women spoke with him and asked him if he was still a Muslim. When he said he was not, they asked him to explain. At this point, another lady complained to mall security. Security took Parsa into custody, holding him handcuffed to a metal chair for four hours without water, and then turning him over to the police.
While the Mall of America seems the main culprit in Parsa’s story, the state of Minnesota has taken up the case. “Actually in my hearing documents, it says ‘state of Minnesota vs. Ramin Parsa.’ So the state is my oppressor,” the pastor told PJ Media on Thursday. He also shared a report from his lawyer detailing the results of a pre-trial hearing that took place on December 11.
“Pastor Parsa’s pre-trial hearing was held on December 11, 2018 but the matter was not resolved,” the lawyer wrote. “The city attorney’s office is continuing to prosecute Pastor Parsa for allegations of misdemeanor trespassing.”
On the short end, Parsa’s legal battle will last seven months. Yet it seems unlikely the state of Minnesota will drop the case that easily.
“A settlement conference is scheduled for March 7, 2019, where there will be further negotiations and legal proceedings regarding Pastor Parsa’s First Amendment rights and the charge,” the lawyer added. “A jury trial has been set for April 29, 2019, in Minneapolis in case the matter is not resolved before that date.”
While the Mall of America and the state are prosecuting Ramin Parsa for misdemeanor trespassing, the pastor recalled mall security telling him his real crime. After speaking with the women — and being interrupted by the third woman — the pastor went to grab some coffee with his friends.
“When we came out of the coffee shop, three guards were waiting for us, and they arrested me right there,” Parsa told PJ Media back in September. “They came after me and arrested me, and said, ‘You cannot talk religion here.'”
Parsa told security he was a pastor. “They told me, ‘We arrested pastors before,'” he recalled, still shocked by the answer. “It was something normal for them, they were used to it.”
Parsa said his confinement in “mall jail” reminded him of the KGB. Yet the Mall of America’s hostility to a Christian pastor sharing his testimony seemed even more familiar to...
