To actual temperatures, two things are readily evident. First, temperatures have flat lined over the last 15 years, and secondly, an average of over 100 climate models from the last decade show that the Scientific Community did not predict this would happen. To my knowledge, not a single climate model ever predicted that a pause in Global Warming would ever occur. Senator sessions is going to go deeper into this. The truth completely contradicts the president s statement and begs the question as to why he and the epa not only continue to deny the truth but why it has raced to stop this information from disseminating into scientific record. What im referring to is the administrations effort with other nations to lobby the ipcc to back up the president s statement in the most recent report.

And then these veterans are adopted by this community organizations. It was a terrific combination of people coming together, but it also would not have happened without the money from the grant.
