RussiaGate is more accurately described as an “operation”, not a “hoax.” This was a large, long duration program to cripple Trump’s presidency. It’s among the most successful covert operations in modern western history, in some ways equivalent to overthrowing small nations’ govts

The past few WGI reports by the IPCC agree with Wielicki about this. Yet the press continues to broadcast lies by climate activists.
There is NO increase in the frequency or intensity of hydrological, meteorological, and climatological natural disasters related to climate change. Such arguments are pure propaganda.
