    Good on CNN. This administration deserves to be fact checked - sometimes to the face of Donald Trump directly - if we are going to hold them accountable. Many on twitter applauded CNN's decision.

    Also, reading this quote from Sarah Huckabee Sanders cost me about a billion brain cells.

    "We’d like to see something that is more data driven. It’s based on modeling, which is extremely hard to do when you’re talking about the climate.”

    Climate modeling IS hard! That's why the outcomes range from "Disasterous" to "Total human extinction". I mean that's a REALLY wide range.

    I'm not even convinced this is a purposeful lie. I think they're just ignorant of scientific processes and they want to know how bad the wildfires and hurricanes would be if we didn't have global warming.

    That's what I think they mean by "data driven", they want some scientist to tell them "oh the wildfires would have been 30% less bad if the earth was 0.5 degrees cooler" which is utter nonsense to anyone who understands how climate works but to your average anti-science republican it's hard for them to imagine a relationship that isn't a fixed ratio cause and effect like that.

    More bullshit from the frauds at CNN.

    How can liars fact check anything.

    Did they offer comments from Climate Scientists who challenge the findings?

    Climate Science abandoned the Scientific Method, which stains the entire movement.

    How many people are "liars" in your book? Do you think it is just impossible to fact check anyone? Are you a liar?

    This is a report from the Trump administration. The Trump administration is claiming that the Trump administration's report is wrong.

    And finding climate scientists who challenge the findings is doing a real disservice to the science because the current split of climate scientists who agree with the basic tenets of climate change and those who disagree is a roughly 98-2 split. So if you want to present "both sides," you should trout out two scientists on one side and 98 on the other side.

    They are not offering their opinion. They are citing objective facts in the immediate face of objective dishonesty from an administration spokesperson.

    Welcome to the real world.

    The climate science and the far left of the Democratic party politicized the weather.

    Any time anything has been politicized, it divides society.

    Can CNN please prove that X number of people will commit suicide because they're too hot? And who says these same people won't commit suicide anyway? And can they also prove that the oceans will be X number of inches high by Y date? NOPE, NOPE, and NOPE!!! They can't PROVE any of it. They're ****ing GUESSING!!!!

    And with all this knowledge and data, will spending trillions while destroying the economy CHANGE ANYTHING? NOPE, NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. They do NOT KNOW!!! They're guessing.

    This report came from the Trump administration. It is the Trump administration which is claiming that the Trump administration is wrong.

    So we can only fact check for approximately four hours out of the 168 hours of the week?

    If the definition of a lie means you're can't prove it or is someone's opinion you disagree with, then many reports about the impact of climate change are also lies, since most have been overly vague, or completely off and inaccurate. But scientists are allowed to be completely wrong, can't they? Since scientific theory can be changed at the drop of a hat, being wrong is literally part of the job. You're allowed to be wrong so that someone else can prove or change your theory later on.

    Climate IS changing. YES, we impact it. Can we alone do ANYTHING to change it? We don't know. China is doing more damage now and will continue to increase the damage they do until what....2030 or whatever arbitrary demand the UN "asked" them to attempt to accomplish?

    Then the report should have been reported by CNN during the climate change report news conference not during a White House news briefing.

    Setting aside the fact that they dropped the report at 2pm on Black Friday...

    The White House news briefing - when the Press Secretary is explicitly discussing the Climate Change report - is a perfect time to discuss the climate change report.

    Fact checking is nothing but a prop used by the three ring circus that masquerades as news outlets. Take the far left Soro's funded/supported PolitiFact as an example.

    Fact checking is subjective, as CNN and other such laughable ventures prove all the time. Something meant to add credibility, or in the case of the frauds at CNN, to help support their Hate Trump 24/7 objective. However, when checked, the bias raises to the surface.

    As to climate science, when the newly rich climate scientists eliminated the Scientific Method in pursuit of more research dollars, and worse, attacked and sought to destroy any scientists who challenged them, it became very clear what was going on.

    Add to that evidence was the objective of Maurice Strong, the Father of Global Warming, spoke of at the first climate conference in Rio in 1992.

    Latest report is mandated by law created in 1992. That legislation requires a report no less than every 4 years. It isn't a report the Trump Administration commissioned, although that is what the frauds in the media are implying.

    On Sunday morning or since CNN has been exposed being in collusion with the DNC, do it on one of CNN bias commentary shows.

    Did Sanders offer proof of anyone that challenged the findings?
    You are more than welcome to prove your "bullshit" statement. What facts did they show on the screen that were false?

    How many people are "liars" in your book? Do you think it is just impossible to fact check anyone? Are you a liar?

    And no one claimed that the Trump Administration wrote the 1992 law; however, they did write this report. And it is this report - written by the Trump administration - that is now being called false by the Trump administration.

    Please spare me your pathetic attempts to dismiss tens of thousands of peer reviewed journals because of a quote from twenty-six years ago.

    CNN has all the credibility as InfoWars. It's ironic to see the left wing media outlet (Cuck News Network) fact checking anything.
