Full article as



By Jack Hellner
The theory for those pushing the
green new deal or some other radical
energy policy that will destroy tens of
millions of jobs and greatly harm the
poor and middle class is that humans,
CO2, and fossil fuels cause warming
and climate change. This warming
causes the ice to melt in Alaska, then
the melting ice causes sea levels to
rise and the rising sea levels will cause
coastal cities to under water.
They have predicted the coastal cities
to disappear for the last 100 years and
they have been wrong for 100 years.
Meanwhile, Alaska has been
exceptionally cold for the last few
months. As a nerd who knows that the
people pushing the garbage theory of
humans causing climate change is
based on a series of lies, I look at
actual data.
It is a shame most of the media,
entertainers and other Democrats just
repeat talking points instead of doing
research.
January 2020 was the 15 coldest
January on record in Fairbanks
Alaska. At negative 27 degrees. it was
over 13 degrees below average this
year. Obviously, the ice will be
thickening faster than average and is
not going to be gone as predicted.
Here is a small sample of predictions
and fear articles over the years.
1922-Article by AP in
Washington Post and
elsewhere saying
icecaps were melting,
oceans were dying,
and coastal cities
would disappear.
1970-First Earth Day.
We were scared with
articles that billions
would die soon from
catastrophic cooling.
1975-Newsweek-Doom
and gloom article
called “The Cooling
World”
1989-Back to
warming. The UN
essentially repeated
the warnings from
1922 article and said
we only had ten years
to solve the problem.
2008-ABC ran fear
story saying much of
Miami and New York
City would be under
water by 2015.
2019- The UN again
repeated the same
warnings from 1922
and 1989 and again we
have only ten years
left.
How did the Earth cool so much from
1945 to 1976 that we got warnings of
catastrophic cooling if rising CO2,
humans and fossil fuels cause
warming? The answer is there is no
correlation between CO2, population,
fossil fuel use and temperature.
Humans can’t control the temperature
of the sun, tilt of the sun, solar
activity, distance the Earth is from the
sun, daily rotation of the Earth,
annual orbit of the Earth, high tides,
low tides, the Jetstream, El Nino, or La
Nina but we are told that if we give
politicians and bureaucrats trillions of
dollars they can control the sea level,
temperature and sea levels forever.
Does that make sense?
A clear indication that the theory that
fossil fuels, rising CO2 and humans
cause global warming or climate
change is a hoax or a series of lies is
that the globe had a significant cooling
period from 1945 to 1976. It cooled so
much that it was predicted on the first
Earth Day in 1970 that we were
having a disastrous cooling period
where billions would die from
starvation.
Besides being lied to for around 100
years that coastal cities would soon
disappear, the public has been lied to
that we were running out of oil for
over 100 years. For a long time, we
were told that we needed alternatives
like wind and solar because of these
lies. Now that it is known that there is
plenty of fossil fuels to last a long time
and that we are always finding more,
we are told the lie that fossil fuels are
causing climate change, warming and
are destroying the planet.
We've Been Incorrectly
Predicting Peak Oil For
Over a Century
The public has been continuously lied
to that droughts are longer and more
severe than ever when historical data
and the number of deserts worldwide
clearly shows that is not true.
We have also been told that floods are
more severe and worse than ever
when historical data and the fact that
so much of the Earth is covered with
water shows that to be demonstrably
false.
How many times have we been told
the lie that the warming is
unprecedented when historical data
shows that the Earth has gone through
many long-term warming and cooling
periods including several ice ages. A
little ice age ended around 1850 so a
little warming today would be
normal.
Sea levels have always risen and
fallen and according to estimates
there has been only a small rise since
the advent of fossil fuels but we get
continuous predictions of impending
disasters.
To scare the children, we repeatedly
have been told that tens of thousands
of species are dying out each year
because of humans and fossil fuels.
They have repeatedly been told that
polar bears are dying because of
humans, fossil fuels and climate
change when the population of polar
bears has increased substantially the
last seventy years and they were dying
because of hunting, not climate
change.
Meanwhile, the actual number of
identified species, including many no
one has heard of, that have gone
extinct since 1900 is 477 or four per
year. The truth obviously isn’t
important when pushing an agenda.
Why is there so little concern by
environmentalists about how much
land solar and wind farms use and
how much wildlife they kill?
Humans: Cause Of
Extinction Of Nearly
500 Species Since 1900
We have been lied to that hurricane
activity was going to be worse than
ever after Katrina and we had a mild
ten-year period. We’ve been told
repeatedly the bald faced lie that we
were going to have snowless winters.
As the predictions over the years have
been 100% wrong the future
predictions always get more extreme.
We go from global warming to climate
change to climate catastrophe and
climate collapse and we repeatedly
only have a few years left to solve the
problem. The solution is always to
transfer more power and money to
the government along with
relinquishing our freedom and way of
life. The solution for almost all
Democrat policies is more money and
power to the government.
We have the environmentalists
seeking to control CO2, a clear,
innocuous non-pollutant gas while
advocating for the massive use of
lithium, a flammable pollutant. How
will they dispose of all those
flammable batteries?
As the predictions have been so
wrong, journalists and other
Democrats seek to shut those of us
who tell the truth that the climate has
always changed naturally. We are
called liars, deniers, stupid and anti-
science. It is the fear mongers who
refuse to debate and look at actual
historical scientific data.
One of the biggest frauds of all time
was when East Anglia University
manipulated temperature data to hide
a medieval warming period. That
would have exposed their lies about
human caused global warming and
they didn’t want their money spicket
turned off. This fraud is much more
detrimental to the world than
anything we have ever seen.
Yet journalists and other Democrats
didn’t give a damn about the fraud as
they continue to hide the truth from
the public because they also like the
money train.
Climate change: this is
the worst scientific
scandal of our
generation
Dr Jones is also a key
part of the closely knit
group of American and
British scientists
responsible for
promoting that picture
of world temperatures
conveyed by Michael
Mann's "hockey stick"
graph which 10 years
ago turned climate
history on its head by
showing that, after
1,000 years of decline,
global temperatures
have recently shot up
to their highest level in
recorded history.
Given star billing by
the IPCC, not least for
the way it appeared to
eliminate the long-
accepted Mediaeval
Warm Period when
temperatures were
higher they are today,
the graph became the
central icon of the
entire man-made
global warming
movement.
Al Gore and many others have used
the lies to greatly enrich themselves.
Many of the people pushing the lies
ride around in private jets and live in
mansions while lecturing the rest of
us that we are destroying the planet.
I excuse Greta Thunberg and other
young people for their ignorance on
science because they have been
indoctrinated and lied to for their
entire lives. There is no excuse for
journalists, entertainers, Michael
Bloomberg, President Obama, the
Clintons, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth
Warren et al for just repeating talking
points in order to enrich the
government and harm the rest of us.
Indoctrination is a dangerous thing
and journalists have been major
contributors to the indoctrination.
Democrats can’t count votes in Iowa
in a reasonable time but they tell us
they can control temperatures, sea
levels and storm activity forever if we
just hand them trillions of our hard
earned dollars. Why the heck would
anyone believe them?
Foreign AffairsRe: E. Jean Carroll Seeks Trump's DNA Over Rape Accusation by basilico: 6:11pm On Jan 31, 2020
This woman kept the dress in her closet for 25years. Give me a break, Bill Clinton was forced to admit Lewinsky affair after his DNA matched her blue dress that ironically Bill wore on that portrait in Jeffery Epstein house.
She would have come out then during the Clinton impeachment trial but she did not. She waited years later to claim that she has Trump's DNA. Another hit job by Democrats, throw as much mud to the wall hoping some will stick.
Kavanaugh style baseless accusations that no one can prove.

Expect more dirt as the election day draws near.
That IndecentStar by the way who accused him, she was forced to pay. If he slept with her, then she paid him for sleeping with her. The Trump curse is real.

Last time I was in class the theory was work output is equals to work input plus losses.
Losses here means we have to go to the hated fossil fuels to compensate for our losses.I don't know what I'm talking about.

How the Democrats live in your heads still remains a mystery to me.

How beneficial is the fact that Trump lied in the face of evidence and is now hiring corrupt lawyers to defend himself?
Lied like
"You can keep your doctor"
"I did not have sexual relationships with that woman"

Like the deplorables did not know they were not electing a saint.

Too bad. Trump with the help of we conservatives labelled deplorables will help Trump win 2020.
And there is "nothing you can do" according to Khamenei before Trump vaporised his real number two terrorist.
Living in a make believe world is dangerous and you better get some education as soon as possible. I would have used asap instead by the way BTW.Low life low IQ brainwashed idiot.

In Trump and Pompeo's words.
"We are with the people of Iran"
I don't know how they want ordinary Iranian to believe this. grin

You plunged their country into chaos in 1953 by toppling their democratically elected leader and installing a corrupt dictator that helped you milk Iran dry. They decided to take their destiny into their hands by removing your puppet Shah in a revolution this angered you and you sabotaged their economy for 4 decades yet you are still with the people of Iran? Hahahaha
The 1953 thing was about oil greed.
The Ayatollah who had been to France was welcomed home to create a theocratic brutal Islamic regime. The people elect a President but the decision maker is a Shia cleric, who murder people at will and use laws to micro manage what ordinary Persians can say, eat, wear, marry, defecate, Literally every aspect of their life with some very Basiji guys on the watch.
To you it seems you support the Islamic revolution that took them back to stone age.
If the Mullahs did not have oil their policies would have equated the to Chad or some other despotic third world hellhole, which it I in a way

The firestarters. I'm certain they are paid . To advance the now soon to be registered religion of global warming.
There was a story about Chinese spraying to prevent rain when they hosted Olympics some years ago.Makes sense that human can induce or stop rain. technology is good. With tech and on the premise of global warming we might discover how to how to keep the sun shining so that we can generate more solar energy even in winter. And forget fossil fuels

I am sure liberals will find a way to spin this and blame Trump
I'll give them a talking point. Americans elected Trump who trashed the agreement JCPOA.
This made the Iranians mad, caused them to attack military bases after Suleiman was killed.
Please don't let the Iranians go mad, they shot down by mistake a civilian airline killing 176.
Don't annoy the Mullahs. Don't tweet about them too.

Why is the homework shoddy?
Because the Congress impeached partisan with no due process and not enough evidence, the senate should try their case. Call witnesses like Pencil neck, Ukrainian Pelosi son, Hunter Biden, Ciaramella the CIA whistleblower, the IG who rewrote rules such that hearsay was permitted, Shokin the Ukrainian prosecutor Joe Biden bragged about his firing, Alexandra Chalupa the DNC operative who asked Ukraine for dirt on Manafort Trump campaign manager and Giuliani who has evidence that Democrats received corruption money as kickbacks sent to Ukraine as aid.
The real impeach scandal is about protecting the Democrats who were bribed with Ukraine aid.
A RICO charge.

Ever heard of the Shia Mahdi army using Iran EFP to kill hundreds of Americans.
There's is a nice video of a Blackwater sniper former Marine Expeditionary killing the attacking militia saying Hell this is a turkey shoot


Enjoy


https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.military.com/video/operations-and-strategy/iraqi-war/blackwater-sniper-engages-insurgents/1094203251001&ved=2ahUKEwiq4oWaoPfmAhUP8BQKHf6zD-IQwqsBMAB6BAgJEAQ&usg=AOvVaw0iqUyhssiSIAy8Smq4TRdJ&cshid=1578598814050


At one point the sniper is being told by his scooper that " You cleaned them all".
Then Not in the video the scout sniper appears later in an interview saying he kept reloading his Sniper rifle .
a sniper does a one shot kill.
For a few hours he kept pulling the trigger on the advancing Mahdi army, armed by Suleiman.
This was around 2002 by the way ie the turkey shoot
The scout sniper thinks he probably shot 800 of them at least. He would shoot, see a body that would be quickly removed. From 800 yards .

Before reinforcements came in he had held Iranian Suleiman at 800 yards away with a sniper rifle.

Of course Americans lie about their exploits but I think is a true story

And remember a guy firing a bullet at you wants to kill you. Center mass or head shot is very preferable to a guy who wants u dead. Snipers prefer big 7.62 mm Calibre to your head if you are less than 500 yards away or to the heart center mass if more than that. A sniper hates wasting a bullet, this one sure took out many of Suleiman Mahdi army.



The sniper is not just firing . There are his colleagues firing. He is doing a one one kill thing while his colleagues are blindly firing. He picks his target, guided by his scooper and fires. a very target rich environment for a sniper.
Rumoured that he shot more than 800 Suleiman Mahdi Iran terrorists that day. I have no proof Just like CNN saw Trump take two scoops of ice cream over dinner while the rest were given only one scoop hence we need to impeach Trump for that.
Foreign AffairsRe: US Strike Kills Taliban Splinter Commander, Other Fighters. by basilico: 6:52pm On Jan 09, 2020
Another good effort. Going for the decision makers who are usually the inciters, extolling the virtues of being a Martyr to their brainwashed legions. Yet these commanders never go to the battle front .
They extoll the rewards of. martyrdom yet never fight for their 72 virgins unless they are smoked out when then their successors call them Shahid.
Qassam Suleiman was declared a Shahid, he will get 72 virgins even though only his hand was left intact.

The Iranian feeble bombings by the Ayatollah of Iraq bases was codenamed Operation Shahid Suleiman. Stop being a liar or being lazy
Foreign AffairsRe: Damaging America's Machines Was Our Aim - Iranian Commander by basilico: 6:32pm On Jan 09, 2020
alienvirus:
Iran’s assault on bases housing US troops in Iraq was intended to smash American military infrastructure rather than kill soldiers, an Iranian commander told state television. He promised further strikes in the region.

Iran launched a volley of ballistic missiles at two bases in Iraq in the early hours of Wednesday morning, bringing the two countries to the brink of war. However, no American or Iraqi casualties were sustained, and US President Donald Trump responded with economic sanctions instead of military action.

Speaking on Iranian state television on Thursday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) aerospace commander, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, elaborated on the operation the previous day.

We didn't seek to kill. We sought to hit the enemy's military machine.

Hajizadeh added that expelling American troops from the Middle East would be “appropriate revenge” for the death of IRGC Major General Qassem Soleimani, who the US assassinated in a drone strike at Baghdad airport on Friday.

He said that the attack would be the start of a series of similar strikes across the region.

ALSO ON RT.COMSatellite images show MINOR but PINPOINT damage to US-Iraqi bases from Iranian missile attack, suggesting limited show of force

Trump thanked an “early warning system”for tipping the US military off about the incoming Iranian missiles on Wednesday morning, averting casualties at the bases. However, the Iraqi government confirmedthat it received advance warning of the strikes, enabling US troops to take precautionary measures and activate air defense systems. Nevertheless, the missiles struck with pinpoint accuracy, demonstrating the advancement of Tehran’s military technology in recent years.

ALSO ON RT.COM‘Harsher revenge’: Revolutionary Guards commander vows it’s not over after Iranian missile strikes on US forces in Iraq

Earlier in the day  IRGC commander Abdollah Araghi also said that Iran would take “harsher revenge soon,” without elaborating further.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei both stated that the Islamic Republic’s ultimate goal is the removal of US troops from the Middle East.

https://www.rt.com/news/477828-iran-strikes-kill-troops/
They should have at least damaged an Apache helicopter.Did they?
Let's count the casualties.
Iran killed 3 Americans. Then Americans killed 25 KH Iranian militias
Then Iraq's stormed the fortified American embassy. No casualties. America then killed Suleiman plus 6 other terrorists.
During the burial of Suleiman a stampede killed at least 55 Iranians.
Iran fired missiles at American housed Iraq bases killing noone. They not verified so far downed a plane killing 176 Innocents.

Do the maths. At least 263 Iranians dead because off Qassam Suleiman for only 3 Americans

Now idiots can say America reaction to their 3 dead was disproportionate because the aftermath killed at least 263 Iranians.
War crimehuh?

Qassam Suleiman died in the company of KH deputy commander whose group had killed 3 Americans a week before.
Both vaporised.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 5:55pm On Jan 09, 2020
Bump bump.

Trump by ordering the hit on Qassam Suleiman has literally won the hostilities.
I'm sure the next Quds force commander will most likely never leave Iraq to visit it's militias.
I'm sure Khamenei will never travel outside the country. He will just stay and oppress Iranians at home.

This guy Qassam Suleiman thought he was untouchable Roving all over middle East ordering hits on Iran's or Islamic enemies.

He was on video Dec abusing Trump.
Khamenei told Trump that he is incapable of doing nothing while the Quds forces plan on killing more Americans.

For Trump this was a tough call. Kill the head of the snake. Suleiman had left Iran, went to Hezbollah in Lebanon to obviously plan more terror attacks. Then to Baghdad. Received by the the Deputy commander of KH militia in Iraq which had just killed 3 Americans after shelling their base.
Both were vaporised.

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 10:28am On Jan 05, 2020
I've been watching CNN . They are only showing the angst against the death of the 'revered' terrorist with hundreds of thousands dead due to him.
The media is just sick. Hating Trump over someone who
- Organized Benghazi
- Mined at least 6 oil tankers
- Brought down an American drone
-Repeatedly fired mortar shells at US based
- Raided US Baghdad embassy
- Killed over 600 hundred Americans in Iraq.

etc etc

This is what the media is showing . That a murderers assassination should not have been ruthlessly effected.

Trump does not want a whole scale war. He will act if terrorists kill Americans. The pathetic Iranians have set sight on 35 possible targets.
Trump upped his retaliation to 52 targets.

The Iranians are broke. Some offshoots of their terror groups may act out of smpathy and kill a few but I doubt the Mullahs will resort to an all out and out war. Their military is pathetic . One US carrier group with no holds barred and no rules of engagement observed can flatten Iran.
The Mullahs want to retain their Islamic state derived powers and I'm sure one of those 52 targets is Khamenei palace. like the Hezbollah leader who lives underground in many bunkers the Ayatollah might be forced to live in a cave. Like Saddam too only that the Ayatollah will have aircon .

CNN with it's TDS is clearly on the Iranian side. However they are not showing the Iranians celebrating his death . on Twitter they are posting celebrations of Iranians over this terrorist who has murdered many Iranians in support of the regime.

Trump is doing a Reagan thing. Attack those who send their zombies while living in caves. Reagan attacked Gadafffis tent and compound killing his adopted daughter. Striking his heart. I'm sure Trump will do the same.
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Promises 'harsh Retaliation' After US Airstrike Kills Iranian Gen(photo) by basilico: 6:05pm On Jan 03, 2020
Iran is a cowardly bully, trying to push limits to see what America will do.
A little background

Last year they were involved in mining of two oil tankers. The whole world just yawned.

Next they shot down a US drone. No action

They used their proxies to damage 5% of the world's oil installation. In Saudi Arabia oil fields. World yawns.

Next they kept firing mortal shells in Iraq where Americans are based. No reaction.

Last week they fired over 30 shells at a US installation. They killed an American contractor and wounded four other American soldiers.
The US retaliated by bombing 5 sites of the KH Iran funded militia and killing 25 plus wounding 50 .

They get enraged for that and attempt to sieze/lay siege to the US embassy in Baghdad. Slither away after the US displays might.

Now this Qassam Soleimani travels to Baghdad to meet with the commander of that militia group involved in the embassy invasion and shelling of the US installation. Maybe to discuss about yoga, baking recipes and other nice stuff about food.

He gets blown off the face of the Earth.

Orange man bad.

The protestors went within 200m of the main embassy building. An embassy is sovereign territory ,ask Julian Assange why he stuck in Ecuadorian embassy for donkeys ears until the Ecuadorian authorities finally allowed the British police in.
As far as I can tell the Mullahs are facing simmering revolt so a war with Americans will galvanise their support in the name of a sovereign country under attack.
They attacked and killed an American in Iraq and now protesting when Americans retaliated killed 25 of their militia.
Never forget Obama sent the Mullahs 1.7b USD in cold hard cash that they are now using to forment trouble all over the Middle East.
And that brigade shelling and killing an American contractor before the retaliation was fighting alongside Americans versus ISIS.
Then it was a battle between Shia and. sunni . The fanatical Sunni lost so now the Shia can fight and try and kill the infidels.

while we're at it, Might like to send some of the stupid people on the left who think supporting Trump is "fascism" to Fascist Summer Camps too.
The left controls media , universities, schools .
Many institutions are just indoctrination camps for their far left socialist agenda.
A friend of mine doing a PhD believes that capitalism is the root of all evil, yet owns two homes.

@Lucasbaibe how about this on Pelosi the impeachers son?
Shortly after his mother Nancy Pelosi
became the first woman speaker, Paul
Pelosi Jr., was hired by InfoUSA for
$180,000 a year as its vice president
for Strategic Planning in 2007.
Pelosi kept his other full-time day job
as a mortgage loan officer for
Countrywide Loans in California. And,
unlike all of the other InfoUSA
employees, Paul Pelosi did not report
to work at the company’s headquarters
in Omaha.
It must be nice being the spawn of a
powerful Democrat politician.



Pelosi is the third in line So she is a genius. Even her son could be one so they hired him when she became speaker of Congress.


Nah nah there is no corruption there. Her son was also doing business with Ukraine energy company. No corruption here. Nothing to see
Just listen to Rachel Maddow. Who is being sued for 10m USD for claiming without proof that OANN is funded by Russians. She claims in her lawsuit that she is not a newscaster per se but just airs her opinion to her high rated show among leftists.


I like reporting facts only easily verifiable. Rachel Maddow just killed journalism with her response.
MSM on its deathbed.

I'm worried about how far the leftists can go.
To project their utopian ideas.
To cover for that 44th usurper and I'll not engage in calling him the Kenyansian usurper. I'll leave that to conspiracy theorists of which I'm not. I sift facts I'm conservative and I use my head unlike @lucasbaibe who is too lazy to usehis brains .

It hit me suddenly that a CIA officer is the one who impeached Trump in Congress.
The same CIA officer who leaked lies about Trump meeting with Russian Foreign minister Lazrov.
The same CIA officer who chaired a meeting with Ukrainians advising Biden to wwithold aid to Ukraine unless the prosecutor investigating his sons company and had actually frozen its assets was immediately fired.

Is Trump stupid to be railroaded by a CIA analyst?
Or is he planning something very hugely to take down the swamp?
Foreign AffairsRe: White House Blocked Ukraine Aid Just After Trump Call by basilico: 6:39am On Dec 23, 2019
dolipiza:
The White House sought to freeze aid to Ukraine just 91 minutes after President Trump spoke to President Volodymyr Zelensky by phone in July, a newly-released government email has revealed.
In the call, Mr Trump asked the Ukrainian leader to investigate his political rival, Democrat Joe Biden.
Democrats say it shows Mr Trump used the office for personal political gain.
The fateful phone call is key to the abuse of power charge on which Mr Trump has been impeached.
A US whistleblower who heard about the conversation raised concerns, which ultimately triggered the impeachment inquiry.
What does it take to impeach a president?
Trump impeachment: A very simple guide
How Ukraine story unfolded
Mr Trump was formally impeached by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on Wednesday, but is unlikely to be removed from office as the case will go to trial in the US Senate, where his Republican party has a majority.
What's in the email?
The newly-released email was obtained by the Center for Public Integrity following a court order in a freedom of information case.
It shows that a senior White House official, Mike Duffey, contacted senior defence officials about withholding Ukraine's aid just over an hour-and-a-half after Mr Trump ended a 25 July call with President Zelensky.
A rough transcript of that call was declassified by the White House following a whistleblower complaint it was being covered-up.
The transcript shows Mr Trump asked Mr Zelensky to "do us a favour" and investigate Joe Biden, currently a frontrunner to be the Democratic candidate in the 2020 White House race, and his son Hunter Biden, who had previously worked for a Ukrainian energy company.
In the email Mr Duffey asks that the Department of Defense "hold off" on providing aid following the administration's plan to review.
"Given the sensitive nature of the request, I appreciate your keeping that information closely held to those who need to know to execute direction," the email reads.
What has the reaction been?
Rachel Semmel, a spokeswoman for the Office of Management and Budget, dismissed the characterisation of the email in a statement to US media on Sunday.
"It's reckless to tie the hold of funds to the phone call. As has been established and publicly reported, the hold was announced in an interagency meeting on July 18," CNN quoted her as saying.
"To pull a line out of one email and fail to address the context is misleading and inaccurate."
Meanwhile the top Democrat in the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, said the email proved the need for new witnesses and evidence at President Trump's impeachment trial.
"If there was ever an argument that we need Mr Duffey to come and testify, this is that information. This email is explosive," Mr Schumer said.
"A top administration official, one that we requested, is saying, stop the aid 90 minutes after Trump called Zelensky and said keep it hush, hush. What more do you need to request a witness?"
A US state divided by impeachment
How will Senate trial work?
"Until we hear from the witnesses, until we get the documents, the American people will correctly assume that those blocking their testimony were aiding and abetting a cover up, plain and simple," Mr Schumer added.
"So I'll close by saying this: President Trump, release the emails, let the witnesses testify, what are you afraid of?"
What happens next with impeachment?
The start date of the trial is in doubt, as partisan wrangling between the parties continues.
Mitch McConnell, the Republican majority leader who will determine the terms of the trial, wants the case to be considered without testimony.
But Democrats say new witnesses should be heard in the Senate, including at least four current and former White House aides with knowledge of the Ukraine affair.
They want Mr McConnell to clarify whose testimony will be allowed.
Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Speaker of the House, has postponed sending the impeachment charges to the Senate until the rules of the Senate trial are acceptable to her party.
Mr Trump tweeted on Sunday that the Democrats' case in the "impeachment hoax" was "dead" and called Ms Pelosi "crazy Nancy".
Republicans currently hold 53 seats in the 100-seat chamber, making a conviction - which requires a two-thirds vote - extremely unlikely.
