For those who follow the cult-like world of Anthropogenic Global Warming promoters, this has to be the Tweet of the year. What’s fun about it, is not just the way President Trump frames the missive and pokes a jab at the Paris Accord, but the reactions to it. Of course many of the same people who are calling it a wide variety of things (stupid, irresponsible, anti-science, etc.) are the very same people who promote short term heat waves as “proof” of human caused climate change getting worse.
In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 29, 2017
Reading some of the responses in the Twitter feed reveals just how much of a disturbance on the force President Trump created with this one Tweet.
Of course, explanations as to why this cold wave is insignificant already abound from ‘climate scientists’. Let’s be sure to remind them this summer when they claim that a week-long heat wave is proof of their premise.
Was President Trump’s election due to catastrophic anthropogenic global warming as was Brexit?
IT was CAGWexit. Or hex it away.
But what do you think as a connoisseur of the scene: will the big lakes freeze completely this winter? The temperatures are yes.
Climate is simply average weather over a period of years, and weather fluctuates chaotically thus causing climate change, so surely we need to work out how to prevent weather change in order to control climate?
By the way, it used to be “Global Warming” – now it’s “Climate Change”. Isn’t global cooling climate change too? but how does carbon dioxide cause that?
“Isn’t global cooling climate change too? but how does carbon dioxide cause that?”
Script writers are working on that.
Hehe
im sure its not so nice for those with homes on shorelines..but… i have to admit fascination in watching the ice come creeping onshore like some alien mass crushing everything in its path.
That would be an ice tsunami. For example:

The President of the United States, Donald J Trump, wrote:
Think about that. Besides making alarmist heads explode, it signals something deeper in his thoughts IMO.
Clearly he understands CAGW is a hustle. And maybe he even has had smart folks (Myron Ebell, Dr Happer come to mind) brief him that the NH or global temps could be headed for 20-30 year (60’s – 70’s style) cooling cycle.
2018 is going to be more winning!!
Popcorn futures explode.
And further down the road, let’s say a Democrat wins the White House in 2021. Now imagine them trying to convince Americans and Congress to appropriate billions of dollars to pay the Paris Climate Aid Funds. This tweet makes that a politically perilous payout.

At least you got the quote right this time.
I remember back in the 60’s orange futures peaked this time of year. I wonder if Florida will get a killing frost?
There’s a very high risk of citrus damage in Texas and Florida, on top of the hurricane damage this year.
And this is why it is time to get rid of the prohibition against industrial hemp. This can be the new cash crop for both Texas and Florida and those of us who own tens of thousands of shares in that industry.
How do you own shares in the hemp industry? or are you talking future tense?
I see a few people are in disagreement on this thread ( There’s a change!) She are saying that the climate is warming, but that’s a good thing, others ( Including Trump) are saying there is no warming, it’s all a hoax .
What the conclusion, yeah or nay? Do you agree with Trump, or the people who say there is climate warming for whatever reason.
Sometimes I really hate predictive text. That should be ‘they’ not ‘she’ .
It has warmed since the LIA, thank goodness.
Oh, I thought you were on some new transgender pronoun thing. But is was just your ‘smart’ phone doing it.
It has been warming at a steady rate of around 1.2C per century since around 1700, the bottom of the LIA when Crops wouldn’t grow well and the people died by the millions from starvation and freezing. So I vote for a warmer climate where we can grow enough food to support the global population. A far better societal style than an Agrarian society.
I think most would acknowledge that climate changes, for good and bad. Obviously, when it is so cold that people are freezing to death and crops fail, that is bad.
I don’t think Trump is saying there is no warming, he’s just saying there is no human-caused global warming.
The Trump people have been briefed by prominent CAGW skeptics so I would have to say it is a pretty good bet that Trump knows warming has taken place over the years.
Of course, when Alarmists say “warming” they are talking about a continuous, steady climb in the temperatures since the Little Ice Age, but the reality is that the temperatures warm for a few decades and then they cool for a few decades and then they warm for a few decades, ect.
We have only been warming since about 1980. Before that we were cooling from the 1930’s through the 1970’s. And we still haven’t gotten as hot today as it was in the 1930’s, which were about 0.4C hotter than the “hottest year evah!” of 2016 (according to the Climate God Hansen), which means we have actually been in a temperature downtrend since the 1930’s, so one would be correct to say there has been no warming in that sense.
“are saying there is no warming,”
Nowhere does Trump say there is no warming.
(“Global Warming” is a trade mark for the religious anti-CO2 propaganda agenda.. and it isn’t happening)
There has been some HIGHLY BENEFICIAL natural warming out of the COLDEST period in 10,000 years.
That warming has come from solar and ocean effects
The satellite data shows absolutely ZERO CO2 warming effect, the only warming coming from ocean cycles and events.
“The satellite data shows absolutely ZERO CO2 warming effect, the only warming coming from ocean cycles and events.”
Interesting statement. The satellite data definitely shows warming, but please explain why you think the data excludes CO2 as a cause.
Because the temperatures rise and fall with known Natural Events. But CO2 just keeps on increasing, even when the output of Man’s CO2 does not.
It is call non correlation.
There have been two major El Nino event 1998-2001 and 2015 to now
Between 1980-1997.. NO WARMING
Frome 2001 – 2015.. NO WARMING
The ONLY warming has come from those El Nino events.
The AGW apostles HAVE to use those events to show any warming trend.
Gareth, here is your inescapable data problem in two nutshells. It has been warming since the LIA; the last Thames frost fair was in 1814. This raises the AGWw attribution problem.
Nutshell 1: IPCC AR4 WG1 SPM fig 4 specifically says the warming from ~1920-1945 was not AGW. See recent guest post Why Models are Wrong for details.
Nutshell 2: about 35% of the rise in atmospheric CO2 since 1958 (Keeling curve) took place in this century. Yet except for a now cooled 2015-16 El Nino warming blip (unrelated to CO2) there has been no meaningful rise in temperature this century except by Karlization.
It was supposed, according to the UK Met Office, to be *very* snowy here today. (As of now)
Seemingly Glasgow airport was closed for an hour. God bless Auntie Beeb for finding that out. My little heart is rent asunder.
Seriously. Have pity on the hapless souls who were stalled in their attempts to vacate The Armpit Of The Galaxy.
The kid in me went looking for snow and found some, further up the hill, at Rotherham.
Went from 25ft AMSL to over 300ft AMSL. Must’ve ‘crossed the snow line’ so don’t call me intrepid without good reason.
Hey, ah deserve A Distinction like Michael Mann got, ain’t ‘good with heights’
Its ‘for science’ and there is plenty science up here.
As you do indeed ‘cross the snow line’, the first thing that’s noticeable is the farmer’s fields.
The bare dirt ones are now brilliant white instead of black/dark brown.
The green grassy ones are still in fact, green grassy.
Its close to the time when the notion of ‘pristine rural stations’ came to an end.
Along with the pathetic little self-deprecating notion that ‘us simple little humans couldn’t *possibly* change the weather’
Take a ride out around Notts, Lincs, South Yorks right now and you’ll see *exactly* how us pathetic simple little critters really do have an effect on our surroundings.
Weather included.
And no, extra CO2 didn’t do it.
The extra CO2 is a symptom.
Madam Peta,
The world is lot bigger place that your little island.
Nobody says we don’t change the environment locally, it is much harder to do so globally.
It is possible that Aircraft Vapour trails may have more of a global affect than most other things we do.
When aircraft were grounded after 9/11, wasn’t a slight decrease in temp observed in the US?
Yes, warming after 1975 could be due to increased air traffic.
Another brilliant stunt by Trump…He tried to push one of their buttons [It worked!]…He figured the media would ALL respond [They did!]….and he gets his amusing comment repeated everywhere… They lose, he wins.
Not here (Toronto, Ontario) Russell, our governing, educated and media elites are all onboard the good ship CAGW. They know better, they are committed so it’s best to avoid this tweet…it’s getting no coverage.
Strange, all it would take is for the public to have a basic understanding of theoretical physics to appreciate the uncertainties surrounding this issue and CAGW would find its rightful place alongside all the threatening man made hobgoblins that have come and gone….not going to happen anytime soon.
Regards, M.W.
“basic understanding of theoretical physics”
Who has time for that when there’s so much social science, virtue-signalling and identity politicking to be accomplished?
http://davidthompson.typepad.com/davidthompson/2017/12/the-year-reheated.html
That’s why the first thing liberals take over when they seek to subvert a country, is the educational system.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Piper, excellent point, why bother with the basics when there’s so much info far more interesting. And, MarkW, is it that simple?, academics (liberals) dominating the education system? My experience seems to support your premise.
When starting high school I wanted most to study art and music. As they were both “options” (go figure) I had to pick one or the other. Along with my parents we complained and we were told this is the way it is done. My suspicion of academic authority remains a constant..
Regards, M.W.
This is a marketing/propaganda exercise to alter perceptions of the masses. All the elegant scientific facts mean nothing to the average Joe who skims the headlines/Twitter/soundbites for instant information. That huge population segment is their target market. Keep it simple and understandable and keep pushing the message for long enough – and the lie becomes the truth.
Don’t worry, truth will never stop a globalist from fining AMERICA billions of dollars to pay to all their corrupt little liberal children countries.
The Universla world religion headed by a guy in white pajamas who has 17 trillion dollars, wants to take YOUR money and give it to HIS poor people who he fleeced with his mega world wide church.
Can’t we just say that the whole twitter fight was wrong. Trump was scientifically wrong in his school yard jab. Those that responded were just as scientifically wrong in their hypocritical, opportunistic response.
You don’t get it. Trump is sh!tposter-in-chief.
What’s Trump wrong about? All he said was “we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming”.
Is that wrong? We could use some global warming right now, couldn’t we? I would certainly like to have some right now. I hate cold weather.
Trump Derangement Syndrome manifested in a new way.
First we had the cast of Hamilton take their opportunity to perform for the VP elect to castigate him. Now we have a Trump hater screaming at the animatronic robot of Trump at Disney World there by running the experience for everyone else.

I heard Howard Dean claim the other day that Trump was running a criminal enterprise in the White House. The TDS is everywhere on the Left.
I bet Howard Dean never associated a criminal enterprise with Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama. But after all the investigations are over we may find that Obama and Hillary were neck-deep in criminal conspiracies and Trump is as clean as the wind-driven snow.
Dean instructed his followers to ignore Hillary’s e-mail server in the bathroom criminal exercise.
Thank you again and thank you for Scott Pruitt.
Trump’s tweet as noted in the head post has really got the cage rattled for the left-view monkeys. It may be causing global cooling as they are busy tweeting their views rather than traveling to some cold demonstration to protest the cold! They can sit in their basements and express their silly viewpoints and scream out digital characters to one another while not burning fossil fuels and the towns where they would have congregated, but only seem to congregate when it’s warm. Go figure.
If you don’t have a ‘twitter’ account you can view the tweet by clicking on the “tweet’ in the head post, when prompted to sign in just click on a blank spot outside the sign in block, then scroll down to the ‘tweet thread’ you want to view and then click on that tweet. The responses will then show. The responses are funny and not very bright. There are likely millions of tweets in other tweet threads where the idiots tweet their friends to tell about their tweets. It soon becomes “tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, etc.” because these tweeters are proud of their tweets and need to tweet it so!
In the modern political world: “The measure of a man, is the ideology of the people that despise him, and the level of their discomfort.” On that score alone, Trump is WINNING!!!!!
Noooo Trudeau can’t be winning!!!
The rise in the internet has exposed the media for the liberal propaganda outlet that it is. And the more they try to demean and belittle the President of the United States, the more they look like the problem. I thought the public was too shallow to understand this, but it is becoming more obvious. To say they are biased does not have the same effect, as tipping over one of their “sacred cows” and watching the reaction. They make the case for him, as each liberal tries to “raise the idiot bar” one level higher in their outrage.
Trudeau does not have this ability because the media is his lap dog. He throws out a bone, and they rejoice in the wonder of his magnanimity. That is not winning. That is feeding the beast that insures the public will not feel the slightly warmer temperature in the pot.
“The rise in the internet has exposed the media for the liberal propaganda outlet that it is.”
Obama was lamenting the other day in an interview with Prince Harry, about the internet. He said the internet allowed people to live in little bubbles of their own creation and never pay attention to anything that doesn’t agree with their own beliefs.
And I thought to myself: Obama is describing himself and all those on the radical Left.
Leftists think if you don’t agree with them and their viewpoint then there must be something wrong. With you. They think you don’t get it and spend a lot of time trying to figure out why you don’t see things the way they do.
It never dawns on them that they are the ones with the delusional view of reality. I suppose that makes sense, since if one is delusional, that probably prevents that person from realizing it.
Climate sceptics love to cheer on Donald Trump because he embodies everything they stand for when it comes to dismissing AGW as some kinds of socialist green blob hoax that has a religious – almost cult-like – following.
Sceptics, unfortunately, want to remain totally blind to the physical evidence of AGW happening in front of their eyes – literally staring them in the face.
A very good example of this is the Columbia glacier in Alaska. This video aptly demonstrates the impact that AGW is having on this planet:
That’s a positive proof that we have a cold winter.
Glaciers have generally been in recess for 20,000+ years. One 23 month period of loss tells us what, exactly? And if we hypothetically could magically stop the recession of this glacier with massive reductions (errr, absolute elimination) in GHG emissions, so what? Shave 0.000000000000000000000000000001 mm in sea level rise? Take your head out of your rear.
Especially since that 23 month period of glacial recession is following a prior 23 month period of recession which is in turn following the prior 46 month period of glacial recession that follows the prior 92 month period of recession that is on the heals of the prior 184 months of glacial recession and riding on the back of the prior 200 year trend of glacial recession.
When exactly was the last time there was glacial advance … Must have been around the year 1350CE that glacial advance started and around 1700CE that Glacial retreat began.
The only time Glaciers are stagnant WRT their terminations is NEVER…
Or perhaps in the depths of a long term Ice Age…
I would imagine that the Great Laurentide Ice Sheet had numerous periods of Advance and Retreat over the 110,000 year period of its existance. One day, it might even disappear altogether.
Let this article put all of this to rest. Humans are NOT the cause of global warming. Our contribution is minor in the grand scheme of life! The earth takes care of itself, it’s cyclical and not within our control.
http://www.newsweek.com/antarctica-melting-below-mantle-plume-almost-hot-yellowstone-supervolcano-705086
This is nothing but a propaganda film. The guy even says that’s what he’s doing. I wasted 20min of my life giving it a chance. Activity at the edge of glaciers. Big deal.

Your idea that a 2 year time-lapse of a retreating Icelandic glacier during the Holocene is “proof” of AGW is amusing. Furthermore, it demonstrates an insufficient scientific grasp of the issues surrounding the catastrophic claims put forth by the climate change cultists.
You simply need to ask yourself, “How and why were there pastoral-agriculture based Norse colonies in areas of Greenland that today are ice fields and have been ice fields since those colonies collapsed 700 years ago.?”
Intellectual enlightenment awaits you if you dig into the literature to answer that question.
How can you keep denying in the face of this evidence? Retreating glaciers have never revealed the remains of Norse colonies before – it’s unprecedented!
Are ancient trees and vegetation being revealed there like in other places?
Climate trolls like ivan only “see” what they want to, using their special reality-free and logic-free goggles. Unfortunately for them, there is not now, nor has their ever been one iota of evidence of “manmade warming”. None, zero, zilch, nada. Despite all their yammering desire for there to be.
It may not be his fault. Really. If he is a more recent graduate of one of our fine institutions of Indoctrination (we called the Universities “back in day”) then he may not have ever been exposed to critical thought and diversity of ideas beyond the narrow views of the Left and their various ideologies.
ivan.. His graph shows the temperatures changing before the levels of CO2 change! And the temperatures falling before the CO2 levels fall!!!
And you care about glaciers over the last century? And think the change of CO2 levels are now magically transformed into driving temps instead of temps driving CO2?
If I had your level of understanding of basic scientific principles I would consider a career that values political science over the kind that requires verification of results.
1. The planet is nearing the end of an 11,000+ year inter-glacial period. Glaciers recede during inter-glacial periods. 2. Unless your database on glacial extents consists of maps showing the global distributions of all glaciers for a time-series of hundreds of years, you have nothing. A video of one glacier is meaningless. Single points do not make a trend.
This is the Hubbard glacier in Alaska https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=85900
It’s advancing and has been for over a century and as long as records have been kept.
Mt Kenya was ice free back in the MWP.
I trump your Galcier with this of growing ones
https://iceagenow.com/List_of_Expanding_Glaciers.htm
And the video of this one
https://realclimatescience.com/2017/09/greenlands-petermann-glacier-growing-ten-feet-per-day/
Is there a more current list of growing glaciers? Do most of these continue to grow?
Then explain the Muir Glacier, also in Alaska. The Muir Glacier has been retreating since it was first observed in the late 16th century. And the major part of the retreat occurred long before major acceleration of CO2 emissions. Maybe the mechanisms of glacial retreat are not so simple as portrayed by warmists.
In most of Alaska, it has to warm up to snow, for the darkest months of the year. The average temps just do not hold enough moisture to produce snow in volume. There are many factors that influence glacier volume and average temperature has both positive growth and negative growth components, as well as most of the other factors that influence growth versus contraction.
No, the video shows a glacier retreating, as it has done many times in the past.
Climate fanaticism has made you and your co-fanatics dumber than you can sadly realize.
Obviously you don’t get it. Glaciers retreat but this and other glaciers are retreating at a much faster pace than the norm. Why? AGW is the driving force. Got it now?
ivan, Most of these glacier didn’t exist before the LIA.
They find carbon deprived tree stumps and other human artefacts under them
Arctic sea ice is STILL in the top 90% extent of the Holocene
Greenland ice sheet is barely down from its peak area in 8000+ years.
Why do you CHOOSE to remain wilfully ignorant, when a small amount of actual learning would solve your lack of basic understanding of reality?
“ivankinsman December 29, 2017 at 2:00 pm
Obviously you don’t get it. Glaciers retreat but this and other glaciers are retreating at a much faster pace than the norm.”
Can you tell us how long we have been measuring advance/retreat and what constitutes a normal retreat pace?
Let me fix that for you. “This video aptly demonstrates the impact that unknown forces are having on this glacier.” A video of of one glacier does not apply to all the glaciers or microclimates of the whole earth.
pbh
“This video aptly demonstrates “….that you need to quit while you still have a shred of dignity left
You sceptics … it’s deny, deny, deny until you are blue in the face. It’s laughable really.
…it’s not even one whole degree
Your brain-washed AGW DENY Climate History
It is totally LAUGHABLE that you refuse to admit that the world is only just a small amount above the COLDEST period in 10,000 years
Ivan …. Your religion is based on MANIC DENIAL and IGNORANCE.
Hey ivan , did you know that NW USA glacier are pretty much in sync with the AMO
as are Swiss glacier.
Or do we add that to the very long list of “things ivan is IGNORANT of”
Ivan. If we are blue in the face it is because it is cold.
ivankinsman ,
“Sceptics, unfortunately, want to remain totally blind to the physical evidence of AGW happening in front of their eyes – literally staring them in the face.”
What are you thinking is actually appearing in terms of “physical evidence of AGW happening in front of their (peoples) eyes”? . . Seriously, what are you talking about that is ostensibly “literally staring them in the face”?
What do you imagine is happening in front of my eyes, for instance, literally staring me in the face, which should be convincing me that something terrible/remarkable is going on with regard to climate(s)? If all you mean are the “alarmist” projections, and the mass media highlighting/dramafication of this and that weather event, I don’t understand why you are speaking of anything in my eyes/”literally” in front of my face . .
To me (nobody special) it seems that the “climate alarmists” are teaching/indoctrinating people to treat their alarmism itself as “physical evidence” of AGW . . and, to believe that anyone who doesn’t just go along with this (to my mind rather obvious) authority worship, is somehow behaving badly.
It really does seem to me to be an extremely dangerous form of brainwashing going on, and I see your accusatory/fanciful language use here as evidence that it is undermining many people’s ability to distinguish the real from the imaginary . .
Glaciers revealing the remains of forests a thousand year ago in Alaska illustrates same old, same old.
“A very good example of this is the Columbia glacier in Alaska.”…..
Ivan, you’re posting crap you do not know anything about..and can’t even be bothered to look it up
“Alaska’s iconic Columbia Glacier expected to stop retreating in 2020, says CU-Boulder study”……that’s 3 more years…..
https://www.colorado.edu/today/2012/11/26/alaskas-iconic-columbia-glacier-expected-stop-retreating-2020-says-cu-boulder-study
Ah … now this is interesting and is a perfect example if a sceptic being selective with data. You are prepared to support this computer modelling data but then completely deny any climate change modelling data. So which is it to be?
climate models have been shown to be monumentally wrong.
Pity you are so brain-washed and so NON-educated that you don’t know the difference between a model that will be easily verifiable, and climate models that have been proven to be a complete FAILURE.
But then, you did skip out on most of your junior high education, didn’t you.
Be HONEST now, ivan.. if you know what that means.
ivan the output of a computer model IS NOT DATA IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.
Wow, a two year period proves global warming.
Are you as clueless as your posts make you sound?
Progressive cultist hardest hit.

“In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!
4:01 PM – Dec 28, 2017”
Trump brilliantly notes that the global alarmist religion is directed at the USA not at other nations even though the US has achieved its Kyoto goals (yes, we did not accept Kyoto, but we still met the goals). The real goal of the myriad climate agreements is to hobble the US, so our dynamic economic growth will not continue to accelerate away from the moribund European nations. If the world is not able to Bell the American Cat, within a decade, the USA will likely double our already substantial standard of living lead over the EU.
Here is an article outlining just how bad the problem is today: What is it with progressives, and the love of all things Europe?
As it is the average Swede’s standard of living is a bit below the average standard of living of blacks in America. While we are working continually on raising the standard of living of all Americans, including blacks, the Swedes are less determined, and the EU even less determined.
The US has been economically moving forward while the EU stagnates for quite a while. The EU is anxious about this trend as is the rest of the world. China understands now that its incredible growth rate over the past 30 years can no longer be sustained and may not be able to be maintained. The concern worldwide is that if the US powers away from the rest of the world in standard of living, they will be required to adopt a less authoritarian government allowing businesses and individuals more freedom in the social and economic spheres. Liberty terrifies the politicians in much of the world. As such we must do everything in our power to make the US the most dynamic growth driven economy. It is up to us to drive the final stake into the heart of socialism.
Mark Sherman
“As such we must do everything in our power to make the US the most dynamic growth driven economy. It is up to us to drive the final stake into the heart of socialism.”
Trump is doing his part:
I read today where the Attorney General of my State has filed a motion for rate reductions in the State’s electricity rates.
The Attorney General says the electric utility companies will benefit to the tune of a $100 million reduction in the electric utility companies tax rates, thanks to President Trump’s tax cuts, and the Attorney General wants the utility companies to reduce the electrical rates of its customers by that much.
There are all sorts of benefits to be realized with Trump’s tax cuts, including reduced electrical prices, and they benefit everyone, not just the rich, as the Left would have you believe.

Eric Holthaus is always good for a laugh. He constantly hypes any weather event as proof of CAGW, then tries to tutor Trump that weather isn’t climate.
https://twitter.com/EricHolthaus/status/946585722311585792
“Here’s a one-minute video that explains the difference between climate and weather. You’re welcome, Mr. President …” (Eric the Generous ; )
Mr. Trump said nothing at all about this cold snap being an indication of climate anything, as any competent reader of English can plainly see;
“In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!”
So, why all the condescending fuss? Why all the pompous BS directed at the POTUS?
*snip* be nice – Mod
“So, why all the condescending fuss? Why all the pompous BS directed at the POTUS?”
The Left and the Leftwing MSM are always hard on Republicans. They think all Republicans are racist and bigoted and only care about the rich and powerful. At least, that’s the narrative. So they hammer Republicans continuosly for political reasons, and have for decades.
In the past, most Republicans bent over backwards to try to get along with the Leftwing MSM, and they did this mainly by not criticizing them. After seeing the attacks the MSM have mounted against Trump, you can understand why most Republicans are leery of taking them on. Who needs that kind of trouble, they say. You have to be a special person to stand up to that kind of relentless attack.
But Trump is a particular problem from the perspective of the MSM. He is not only a Republican, with all that entails in the Leftwing mind, but he also fights back against the lies the MSM tells about him, to the point that the fight with Trump has seriously harmed the credibility of the Leftwing MSM.
So the Leftwing MSM sees Trump as not only a Republican that is succeeding despite their best efforts to assasinate his character, but he is also a danger to the Leftwing MSM themselves.
They want to make it out like Trump is a danger to the First Amendment, becasuse of his criticism, but that’s not true, it is only a danger to the liars in the news media. That’s good for the country. We need to get rid of the liars populating our newscasts, or at least expose them for what they are.
Trump fights back. The MSM hates that.
Trump calls the liars in the MSM “Fake News”. The liars in the MSM hate that.
Trump is reversing most of Obama’s agenda. The MSM hate that.
Trump is turning the U.S. away from socialism, by, among other things, calling out human-caused Climate Change as a hoax. The MSM hate that.
So the liars in the MSM are going to portray Trump in the worst light possible at every opportunity. It will be interesting to see how long they can carry this seething hate around. All eight years of Trumps tenure?
The more Trump succeeds, the worse the MSM and the radical Left look, so the Left is fighting back with everything they can think of.
Here is a simple diagram that explains the difference between climate and weather….
As with all weather related events in the US, if it affects the East Coast, it’s world-wide and a catastrophe. A bit of cool weather in NY? Too bad. It’s 55 degrees here in Oregon at 9am, and warming. Why isn’t this being trumpeted as evidence of global warming?? All we see on the news here is ice and snow from 3,000 miles away, and prophets of doom on TV, with a short break for the local weather forecast, hinting that we may get nighttime frosts next week. This East Coast centrism gets old really fast.
When there is a building on fire in a Big City, they do not zoom out to show viewers that 99.99% of the rest of the city is unaffected. Viewers are glued to close-ups shots of burning buildings. Same with the Cal fire earlier this month. Do they show an unburnt peaceful town or street? No, airtime is precious. They show the burning hillside flames creeping towards the mansion about to get it.
Spending airtime on normal weather is a wasted opportunity when you’re an alarmist.
Climate is measured in terms of decades, dork.

Mann from his trench on the defense. I hope he gets snowbound away from home in his car for a week or two.
…hide the decline.
As cities and urban areas continue to develop, UHI effect will ensure more more warmer records than cold. Elemental my dear muppet
It was a good year for US agriculture.
Agriculture doesn’t listen to estimated temps.
Without fudging the data and “hide the bump” and other warmunists tricks and cheating the there would be no real hot extremes, just point or spotty data, so dismiss the above graph just as we dismissed his fraudulent
hockey stick graph.
Dang! The ‘man made heat’ is missing again??!!!
I wonder where it is hiding this time……..
Pay out a few hundred million more in grants and you will get lots of answers.
Im not surprised Trump entered the electronic fray. Afterall he cancelled global warming. What we have that’s different is that even proponents know it’s been cancelled but they are in de Nile. Rich, huh? A proof that the left know it’s all BS for the Cause, is the fact that they impute motives to sceptics that are clearly their own. Transference is classic psychology fare.
I think it most interesting that one common cause of psychological depression is d’Nile of reality. Facing reality is the cure for it. Now this tells me a remarkable thing about the brain. Simply, not telling yourself the truth makes you sick! Now if you actually are convinced of an invalid notion, this is reality to you. But if something comes along that convinces you you’ve had it wrong all along and you refuse to acknowledge it, it makes you sick!
A painfully close example, which in more sensible times would be a huge subject of study and advancement in psychology, was the so-called Climate Blues. True believers were flying high, enjoying star status, being feted, when the dreaded Pause struck. An epidemic of the Blues ensued. Here after a decade + of study and maybe half a career expended, a huge doubt was engulfing them. What did they do? They rationalized that they were bursting into tears and could no longer work because they were looking planetary disaster in the eye and nobody was listening. Rationalization is the classic D’Nile response.
What did their corrupted therapists do? They bought into the lie and became enablers thereby missing out on the best research project to come along in their field in a couple of generations and at the same time were committing malpractice probably preventing some of them from returning to their studies with a new direction. The more prominent among the afflicted were never again heard from in the scientific sphere (likely so that the unheralded ones retired, too). No wonder the Pause was unceremoniously adjusted out by a warmer who was retiring (Karlization- a term I’m pleased to have contributed to the language) and knew their brand wouldn’t be able to take any more pausing.
