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!

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.

Forecast for New Year’s Eve in the US. The wind in the east of the US will intensify.

typical American attitude,
Tries disproves “global” warming by pointing out one week of one city of one country.
Quotes a city to the west of the GMT line as”east” on a point about global warming.
Doesnt realise even in red states like Texas renewable spending could exceed Paris agreement by a long way
M, would you like a list of all the places in the world that have suffered from sever cold this year?
I can assure you that it spans the whole world from January to December.
There have been substantial Crop and Live Stock losses from New Zealand in the South, through South America, North America, Europe, Asia and Russia.
What Texas wastes their money on is down to them, but Renewables improve nothing at all.
The original argument was that it would get “too warm”! That we would have “catastrophic weather” events because it was too warm.
It has not become too warm. The warmer period has flat lined, and the distinctions between one year and another are meaningless, and have had no negative impact. Yet, we are bombarded daily with propaganda linking negative “weather events” to climate variations that are so tiny, they could not be measured without a large network of weather stations. Many of those temperature recording stations have changed over the years, and many of the spatial areas represented by single point readings have changed.
But when it becomes a “requirement” to keep the funds flowing, warming gets found, one way or another. But it does not make it significant, and it does not make every storm “more likely in a warming world”.
And when the people making a living off deceiving the taxpayers get over-sensitive when normal weather continues to show a disdain for their “prophecy”, we don’t mind pointing out the hypocrisy.
There must never have been a US president like Donald Trump because our Canadian media just can’t stop talking about him and as long as they remain fixated on Trump they don’t have to discuss the many deficiencies of our own Trudeau government.

The significance of the cold snap is that it exposes the political nature of the CAGW idealogues. Trump scores one on them in a fair criticism and they are so insecure that they go ballistic with half science. Ballistic and manipulation that is obvious really never wins, might shut people up but doesn’t address the uneasy feeling that anger is not useful if the4 is substance.

Nebraska record cold coming next week dates back 130 years.

My son knew that I would like this tweet, and posted it on Facebook as soon as he saw it…
He was right…
When the next magnificent glacier pushes the British Isles down towards the mantle with its weight, some alarmists huddled around candles trying to keep warm will be shrilly screaming how somehow mankind is responsible for this and waving their puny fists uselessly at those who still survive in heated enclosures.
That’s stupid. Weather is not climate. Alarmists should remember that and so should skeptics too. Just replace “Coldest” with “warmest” and “little bit” with “little less” and you could have a tweet made by Obama.
How can we expect people to take us skeptics seriously with vague non-sense like that? My problem with Trump is that he is not very persuasive, and it’s easy to ridicule him. Unless you just mindlessly believe anything he says, simply because you want to. I get the feeling that he does things just because it “feels” right, which is not very encouraging. He doesn’t appear to be very intelligent. Granted, he won the election, but that is easy: Just promise free stuff to the masses. That’s how Obama won, although he used a bit less colourful language. Also helps that he really turned politics to a reality TV-show which I despise. Politics is supposed to be boring.
Trump won basically by fearmongering and claiming to be the salvation to America’s every problem. That’s nonsense. No politician will ever do that, and people should stop expecting politicians to do everything for them. Trump is just another populist and big government guy. People should have learned from Obama and his magical thinking, but now the very people who criticized Obama treat Trump as some kind of a demigod. Meanwhile he is planning to damage US economy and limit consumer choice with his protectionist policies. Not to mention US standing in the world. No wonder liberals think that Trump is Putin’s spy. I thought skeptics are for capitalism and free markets, and not crony capitalism? He also lies and exaggerates constantly, like about the size of his own inauguration crowd. And yet, Obama is the lying and deceitful one, and Trump is honest? Give me a break… I tend to be skeptical of the claims of “catastrophic climate change”, and I appreciate Trump pulling out of Paris, but the mindless worship of him by many skeptics disturb me. I hope I’m not the only one.
Clarification: We can never persuade people by pointing the flaw in their logic, and then using that same flawed logic ourselves. And criticizing people who mindlessly worship everything that alarmist politicians like Obama and Al Gore says, and then mindlessly worshipping Trump. Sometimes I think that it’s no wonder that so many people think that skeptics are just crazy deniers who are in league with flat-earthers.
