The New York Senate Democrats have voted in favor of a bill to provide low-cost health care to illegal aliens residing in the crime-ridden state.

The decision came after the federal government agreed to allocate funds for the initiative, alleviating concerns about the financial burden on the state, New York Post reported.

Spearheaded by state Senate Health Committee Chair Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx), the legislation garnered support on the chamber floor with a vote of 41-21. However, it still awaits approval from the Assembly before becoming law.

“We are already spending over a billion dollars without giving any type of regular care to these folks,” said state Senate Health Committee Chair Gustavo Rivera.

“So these folks are already here. They get sick. They get flus They get colds. They break legs … What we’re suggesting here is that we have a way to get federal money so it does not cost the state anything.”

The annual cost to the federal government, according to Rivera, is at least $1 billion.

The bill’s sponsor in the Assembly, Jessica González-Rojas (D-Queens), remained tight-lipped about its potential fate in her chamber.

The bill has faced both support and opposition, generating controversy among lawmakers.

Opponents of the bill express concerns about the potential strain on the state’s resources. They argue that prioritizing health care for migrants could divert funds from other essential services and place an undue burden on taxpayers. These opposing views have led to a spirited debate within the legislature.

“The fact that the money’s coming from the federal government doesn’t mean that it’s not coming out of taxpayer money, because the federal government gets their money from the same place,” said state Sen. Steven Rhoads (R-Nassau) before voting against the bill.

On December 13, 2008, junk scientist Al Gore predicted the North Polar Ice Cap would be completely ice-free in five years.

And, with this lie, the global warming hysteria began.

Gore made the prediction to a German audience on December 13, 2008. Al warned them that “the entire North ‘polarized’ cap will disappear in 5 years.”  The Gateway Pundit reported on this at the time.

“Five Years”

This wasn’t the only time Al Gore made his ice-free prediction. Gore had been predicting the dire scenario since 2007. That means that the North Pole should have melted completely over a decade ago by now

Junk scientist Al Gore also made the same prediction in 2009.

From the video:

Former Vice President Al Gore references computer modeling to suggest that the north polar ice cap may lose virtually all of its ice within the next seven years. “Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” said Gore.

Of course, this turned out to be nothing more than another lunatic conspiracy to push global control of the people.

At least 8 Dire Predictions from Al Gore’s movie never occurred – not even close.

But old media conspiracy theories NEVER die.

The legacy media dusted off this old conspiracy and pushed the same line again last week. According to “scientists” the arctic will now be completely ice free by the summer of 2030.

They don’t even care that they pushed this same BS 16 years ago!

Axios reported:

It’s too late to stop summer Arctic sea ice melting — even in a low-emissions scenario that caps global warming at 1.5°C target in line with the Paris agreement, according to a new study.

Why it matters: The peer-reviewed findings on the effects of human-caused climate change in the region, published in Nature Communications, suggest the first ice-free summer could be in the 2030s. That’s a decade sooner than previously projected.

Thought bubble: Many studies have projected when the Arctic sea ice would be seasonally ice-free, and all could be proven wrong given the nonlinearities and variability inherent in the Arctic climate system.

One thing is for sure though, there are going to be surprises, many of them in a warmer, less ice-covered direction. Using different techniques to examine these questions is valuable, since the region is already heating up so quickly. That applies to the climate and geopolitics.
What they did: Researchers examined satellite data and climate models from 1979-2019 to see how Arctic sea ice has changed.

They used this information to model future melting.
What they found: The researchers discovered the models underestimated the pace of melting compared with observations of ice in the Arctic over the period they examined, according to the study.

“By scaling models’ sea ice response to greenhouse gases to best match the observed trend in an approach validated in an imperfect model test, we project an ice-free Arctic in September under all scenarios considered,” wrote the researchers in the study, led by Seung-Ki Min of Pohang University.
