IN THE NEWS---CLIMATE GROUP REVERSES COURSE ON DOOMSDAY PREDICTIONS...

WASHINGTON — President Trump took a victory lap late Saturday after a prominent international climate change panel backed off using some of the most aggressive doomsday estimates after determining that they were not the most plausible outcomes.

The United Nations-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had quietly adjusted its modeling framework of a 4–5°C warming by 2100 last month. That framework had underpinned a myriad of other analyses predicting terrifying consequences for greenhouse gas emissions.

AND .....Significance: Climate policy analyst Roger Pielke Jr. noted that RCP8.5 is "officially dead" and deemed "implausible" as a "business as usual" scenario, marking a major correction in climate science modeling. RCP 8.5 is officially bollox - by Michael Liebreich

ICYMI-----IT'S CROTON LIONS RAFFLE TIME!

A LETTER FROM BOB ANDERSON, PRESIDENT, CROTON LIONS CLUB

Why not take a chance? It’s a chance for you to help your community. The funds collected might help a fire victim get back on their feet; it may fix a hole in someone's roof, or it may help a deserving student through a scholarship.

The Croton Lions will be selling 50/50 raffle tickets this weekend at CVS, Saturday the 16th from 9-3pm and Sunday at Bagels on Hudson the 17th from 9-3pm. Tickets are also available at the Croton Diner at any time.

The drawing will be held at Summerfest on June 7th.

The generosity of the Croton community allowed the Lions to increase the scholarships this year from $3,000 to $5,000, donate to the Croton Seniors Club, BluePath service dogs, Harry Chapin Run for Hunger and almost 30 other organizations in need.

The Lions motto is “We Serve” and a small donation on your part helps you to help us serve our community.

Take a chance, you could be a winner in more ways than you think!

More information about membership, donations and services can be found at our website, crotonlions.org.

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” W. Churchill

Bob Anderson

President, Croton Lions Club
