When will CNN start reporting the Syrian conflict from Putin's point of view rather than Putin's Puppet point of view?

The Russians are invited in Syria by the democratically elected government. The US is not, and has been asked repeatedly to leave.

Skeptics criticize sea level studies based on tide gauges because the data is inconsistent and needs to be adjusted for shifting shorelines and inconsistent time periods of data collection. Then when you point to a study based on satellite measurements they try to refute it with data from two cherry picked tide gauges. (The article also misstates the conclusion of the satellite study more than double).
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Skeptics criticize it because we do not even know what "normal" is or where we relate to it. Sea levels and climate have changed for billions of years. Only now are people arrogant enough to think humans can control it.

It's s matter of rate of change that correlates with rapid increase in Co2 concentration. 20 years ago I was more skeptical and felt that more study was needed. Not anymore.

The Most Gigantic Political Scandal of Our Lifetime

And the MSM is almost completely ignoring
it. Priceless. LOL!

I'm still not buying it. Now they say the sun will decline and a mini ice age coming. It's always something. If anything your skepticism should be increasing.

WashPost Reporter Suggests Hillary '2020 Comeback'

"Washington Post reporter Robert Costa is sending the not so subtle signal that Hillary Clinton will be back again in 2020."

You can't say sheeeeee's back, when She never
went away. Here's she is just 4 days ago,
coughing and hacking her way thru a speech:

Haven’t some of us been saying this all along?

Hillary will suck the money and oxygen from the Dem side yet again. They are scared to death to tell her to drop dead.

You two just keep telling yourselves that. She's nowhere. Party elder at most. Never again candidate.
Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has
