David Fitzwilliam talked about the history of the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – the effect of industrial CO2 on the predicted increase of global temperatures and sea level) and the counter and critical findings of NIPCC (Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change) in its 2013 report. The talk is based on the September 2013 NIPCC report and 400+ climate change articles in Investor’s Business Daily since the October 2009 reveling of 3500 CC emails of Phil Jones ( Director of the Climate Research Unit at the East Anglican University, London) showing that they were cooking the CC books, CC scientists were jumping off the CC wagon, and that Micheal Mann’s “hokey stick” prediction that CC would cause the seas to rise one meter in 50 years and Manhattan would be under water if human caused CO2 rise is not controlled.

Tim Wiens has served as Jubilee Executive Director since 1979.  He has helped it grow from one group home to an organization providing services for 140 people with intellectual disabilities in 70 different locations.  Jubilee staff live with the patients in 12 of the Jubilee owned locations.  The staff of mostly Africans visit and support the remaining 58 homes in a partnership with the family home owners.  Over the years the patients have moved from institutions to group homes and then to individual homes giving them a more independent life.  Jubilee, like others , is faith based.  Tim Wiens holds a master’s degree in Social Work
