Gets them every time.
Dear Mr. President, that’s not how global warming works
By Deanna Paul
January 20 at 3:20 PMSunday morning began with a stern, concerned warning from President Trump to thousands of Northeasterners expected to be affected by a massive weather system:
“Be careful and try staying in your house,” the president tweeted. “Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!”
It’s far from the first time a Trump tweet turned acidulous; some climate scientists refuse to humor his mockery as a real discussion point. Others are more aligned with the approach taken by Jason Furtado, an assistant professor of meteorology at the University of Oklahoma.
“One down day on the Dow Jones doesn’t mean the economy is going to trash,” he said. “One cold day doesn’t suddenly mean that the general trend in global climate change is suddenly going in the opposite direction.“
…
Climatologist Gavin Schmidt, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, voiced concern that the general public connects with “global warming” merely as a breaking-news headline or in the wake of a natural disaster.
“A wildfire or massive rainfall dumped in Houston makes headlines, and if you only look at headlines, you won’t know about the incremental changes or the thresholds being crossed and pursued,” he said.
…
President Trump’s tweet;
Be careful and try staying in your house. Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!

Climate change activists simply cannot seem to handle even a joke which contradicts their obsession, without getting riled about it and providing long boring monologues about why they disagree with whatever was said.
How can you not love this guy!
well we’ve got a week of 10-20 F below, in the mornings, on tap. same as it ever was. should happen less per the theory.
On humour,Gang Green takes itself very seriously.
10/10 was their best effort,carefully researched and group tested.
Here in Chicago IL 8 inches of fresh snow, polar vortex visiting soon with double digits F below zero and winter snow tally running above average this season. It looks and feels like winter but I’m nice and warm with my natural gas furnace with my gasoline powered SUV. Life is good. I’m not alone look at these stats:
US Record daytime high temps decreasing:

Also just recently broke the longest days between US hurricanes cat 3+ Landfalls, record corn and soy beans harvest, US droughts decreasing, US forest fires burned area decrease, record North American Fall snowfall, and highest recorded high temp on all continents ( except Antarctica) occurred before 1950 when fossil fuels usage increased, generally very clean air and water for US, record US oil/gas production due to fracking and all of this with increasing CO2!

You must be in the north portion, nothing unusual down my way.
The global warming enthusiasts keep saying that a coal fired power plant can reduce their emissions to zero by burning trees or biomass. If you are responsible for any combustion power plant contact me so that you can keep running, and eliminate your emissions.

Greens hate that a president with enough personal resources is immune to their corruption.
Amazing how many supposedly educated people spend their energies trying to depict Trump as the most ignorant person on earth and then in their next breath try to prove they are less intellectually endowed than he. Trump seems to be the first major world leader to actually state the obvious, that the global warming/climate change/extreme weather form of Armageddon is just a pipe dream of radical liberals and not a justification for radical change in the political economic system or an excuse for denying to the poorest nations the chance to build stable reliable electrical networks and to leap out of poverty. Trump wins this round hand down and Gavin Schmidt keeps digging a bigger pit in which to bury his own reputation.

“Trump seems to be the first major world leader to actually state the obvious”
This is a principal trait of Trump’s. He states the obvious not only about the Earth’s climate but about every topic he touches.
Stating the obvious is not politically correct (suitable to the Left) because it shines the light on a lot of things including a lot of Leftwing delusions. This gives the Left another reason to dislike Trump. They don’t like reality being thrown in their faces. They like living in their delusional dream world. Although I don’t see why, because their delusional dream world is not a dream it is a nightmare of delusions. I guess it is not that they have a dream world they live in and want to remain in, it’s that they reject harsh reality and don’t like it when it is shown that is what they are doing.
I imagine a scene where Trump is grabbing the shirtfront of your typical Leftist with one hand and is slapping him gently over and over on the cheek and saying, “Wake Up! Snap out of it! Look at the *real* world!”
Leftists don’t like looking at the real world. They have a different version in their heads put there by God knows who. We need to snap these poor deluded souls out of it. Trump is showing us how. 🙂
Meh!
Washington Post?
WashPo?
Washed up paper.
Lost all honor and all credibility. Now it is truly not worth the paper on which it is printed.
Gavin is not far behind.
WaPo = Amazon Post, a vanity paper of the formerly richest man in the world, whose purpose is to keep America safe for oligarchs and the political party they own.
Coming soon to a peer-reviewed science article near you: CO2 proven to be a bipolar molecule – higher levels in atmosphere now cause both hotter hot temperatures and colder cold temperatures.

Pretty colors and we out west are happy to share the “Barney blob” with you easterners.
Stay warm and safe everyone.
Hansen admits the decade of the 1930s is the hottest for the US, but says US only represents 2% of the surface. Why is it that every statement quantifying climate metrics by warmologists is built on something other than the truth? The % LAND area is 6%, three times as much (hmm…same tripling of ‘projected’ temperature anomaly from 1995). Moreover, the thirties were the hottest decade in the NH and in South Africa, Paraguay, Ecuador… and their temperature plots are ‘carbon’ copies of each other (a validation that will be needed to descamify the data when the teetering clime syndicate self destructs) before the massive adjustments. Here’s Capetowns which looks like that of the US, and all the others mentioned:
Answer to the Why? question. To an old poker player it is a ‘tell’: exaggeration reveals the pervaricator’s own doubts about the ‘hand’ he is extolling.
““A wildfire or massive rainfall dumped in Houston makes headlines,…” sez Mr Schmidt of GIZZ.
Comrade Schmidt will never admit that is a lie, that wind-driven wildfires or heavy rainfall from a stalled out hurricane are not evidence of climate change. But he’ll beat that dead horse as long as they can.
Leftists promote Man-made Global Warming dogma as a religion. In this they are devout. A fundamentalist religion cannot tolerate humor, especially towards its deeply held beliefs. That would be blasphemy.
Lack of humor is just one example of quasi-religious bigotry on the Left.
There are many other ugly parallels between progressive climate belief and fundamentalism.
They have their saints (Gore, Hansen) and their devils (Trump, Watts). They have their gospel (IPCC), they preach the Apocalypse, they want to “save the planet”, and they shun unbelievers as infidels.
I used to think AGW was a giant conspiracy. I now think it is more a mass delusion, a spiritual cult.
Unfortunately reason has little effect on “true believers”. When confronted with contradictory scientific information they usually double down on their fundamentalism.
Sad that Western civilization has come to this.
Trumps statements show he is almost completely ignorant and or misinformed on the topic of climate. Why would any site or group want to align themselves with these mindless statements, that do nothin more than show the world his lack of understanding on the topic.
Why would anyone want to destroy billions of people’s lives, destroy economies and nations across the world, just to “perhaps” avoid the POTENTIAL BENEFIT of a potential 0.05 degree increase in temperatures … IF the theories of self-proclaimed “climate scientists” are right? And, thus far, EVERY prediction they have has been wrong.
RACookPE1978 “And, thus far, EVERY prediction they have has been wrong.”
Really?
They said the climate would warm…. it has (.9 C).
They said ice would continue to melt ….. it is (both glaciers and ice sheets are retreating).
They said the pause would be temporary… it was (a distant memory).
They said sea level would rise… it has (Global sea level rose about 8 inches in the last century. The rate in the last two decades, however, is nearly double that of the last century and is accelerating slightly every year.)
They said the oceans would become more acidic…. they have (30% more).
If you are going to say dumb stuff that is easily disproved, you should be called on it otherwise the genuinely curious who come here, will get a distorted/false view. In fact perhaps Trump has visited, if so, it would explain a lot.
And every one of those changes began before CO2 was increasing (the trends you mention began about 1650, continued through 1850 (the convenient start of “man-made global warming”, continued through the 1970 low point of the 66 year short cycle, then continued through the last years from 1970 through 2000-2010-2018. See, when CO2 was steady, temperatures decreased, were steady, and increased over a 66-70 year cycle, with global average temperatures (and ALL of the “symptoms you mentioned) tracking a longer 1000 year cycle from 1000 BC through today.
When Co2 was increasing – and it has increased to our benefit the past 80 years from 1938-39-40 to 2019 – global average temperatures has decreased, been steady, and increased!
See? No effect from CO2 increases at all!
To get 0.9C, you have to stop measuring at the peak of the latest El Nino, and ignore the 3 years since then.

Actually, it is even worse that that. The last actual “measurement” I read showed the global average temperature anomaly was 0.21 degrees, measured from the “original” Global Warming Hysteria Start Point of the mid-1970’s. Which was the lowpoint of the 66 year short cycle in the late-1970’s. Before the alarmist community pushed it back conveniently 130 years (two entire 66 year cycle troughs!) to the not-yet-measured-accurately 1850’s.
So, 0.21 degrees “increase” in global average temperature. While the CO2 levels increased from 280 ppm to today’s 410 ppm.
“See? No effect from CO2 increases at all”
Sorry, you are just wrong.

RAC, it’s even worse then that. They measure the start of the temperature rise as the bottom of the LIA, and then declare that even though CO2 wasn’t rising at the time, it was still causing the warming.
RAC, I love it when the only evidence trolls can come up with disproven propaganda.
Simon.
I guess you accept the data fraud that has been used to advance the Climate Change alarm then.
Tony Hella has shown NASA and NOAA amend data to maintain the narrative. Tony has strong evidence from both NASA and NOAA of their changed data.
Most people accept the climate changes. Most people accept humanity is capable of polluting the environment and we must cease doing that where ever we can.
Most people with a minimum of scientific study realise CO2 is not a pollutant and is not contributing to the climate changes that happen.
If the crime of being a green house gas was so heinous it must be dealt with, then water vapour would be the number one villain of the peace.
I think we all know why CO2 is unfairly put in the climate change role. It has nothing to so with science and everything to do with politics and de-industrialisation.
CO2 is good for life and good for the planet we need more of it.
Ah yes, a simple answer from simple minds.
It’s warmed, therefore it must be CO2.
For simple minds, the beginning and the end points are the only ones that matter.
Yes, CO2 levels and temperatures have increased over the last 150 years.
However minds that are capable of understanding somewhat past kindergarten age look at what happened between the two end points.
Those minds see temperature going up, down, and even staying the same for a couple of decades, all while the magical gas was going steadily upwards.
Those minds are capable of recognizing that the world is a lot more complicated than the simple minds are capable of dealing with.
PS, the predictions were for a lot more warming than a mere 0.9C.
Simple Simon once again shows how Alarmist ignoramuses lack a humerus bone (aka the “funny bone”) in their body, and fail to either understand or appreciate sarcasm and mockery.
I also notice, that once again, Simon is incapable of refuting anything, he just whines and insults those who fail to worship as he does.
Funny isn’t it.
Every heat wave is proof of global warming.
However every cold wave is just weather.
Trump’s ridicule of the activists brings out the anger amongst the usual trolls.
MarkW
If Trump is your poster boy/authority on climate. you have a serious problem with credibility. Just saying.
The war against energy and hence capitalism continues. The tragedy is, the side losing the battle have not even realised they are at war.
The next few years will bring matters to a head. The loss of energy infrastructure is now so severe and at the point here in the UK, where a real winter will give rise to deaths from cold and cold associated events which even the MSM/left will not be able to ignore.
The severe winter of 1963/64 was survivable because the energy supplies in the UK were significant and well distributed. Filling stations were in every village, all electricity was coal fired and nuclear supported. The railways were still running into every corner of the country, powered by diesel and the last vestiges of coal fired steam engines.
Today the electricity supply is fragile. There are no village filling stations for vehicles. The rail system does not supply urgent resources to remote places, and there is a just in time supply of all essentials, via fewer and fewer outlets, now mostly large supermarkets.
If we get a testing winter the UK will not handle it well.
We need more energy and we need more places that sell accessible energy i.e. more filling stations.
Rod Evans
“We need more energy and we need more places that sell accessible energy i.e. more filling stations.”
Indeed, yes.
One of the reasons that filling stations close is the need to ‘upgrade’ their facilities, most notably the underground tanks – thanks to legislation, some [Hah!] of which emanates from Brussels . . .
Barriers to entry are gradually raised.
Big companies gradually tighten their hold on the market.

And I hold Oilco stock in an ISA and individually.
My left and right feet exist happily most of the time. However, when they meet and argue I wind up flat on my face in the proverbial.
The one thing they do need to agree on is the direction of travel.
I am resigned to wait for the headline that claims the record cold I am experiencing in the Northeast US is caused by Global Warming.
No more certain way to draw the usual suspects out into the open.
There’s a certain symmetry between his tweet and the constant “This is the type of weather event you can expect with global warming” headlines that you hear. The main difference is that one is meant as a joke, and the other is meant as a deception.
And journalists don’t get that in either case.
Trump could have tweeted “These are the types of snowstorms you can expect with global warming” and it would have been just as funny.
It gets the greenies riled up over here in the UK too.
A friend of mine, who has been taken in by the CAGW hoaxers (hook, line and sinker), expressed his appalled disappointment that ‘President Trump is so ignorant he is confusing weather with climate again’.
I pointed out that he is just winding up the alarmists, by giving them a taste of their own medicine: After all, what do they do every time there is a heat-wave or natural disaster..? Very funny it is, too.
}:o)
It has been bitter cold here in New Hampshire (below 0F as I type this), and we recently had a toddler freeze to death here (very tragic – see below). Cold weather can indeed be very dangerous!
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toddler-found-dead-outside-home-in-freezing-cold/
I think in stating that extreme winter conditions is just weather you are also admitting the extremes
of Florence (the storm), Houston rains, and the conditions contributing to California wildfires, are also just weather as usual.
Of course that is a logical assumption but those three events are often used as evidence of climate change in spite of the fact that they are neither unusual or unprecedented.
I am certain the climate is changing as it always has and always will and extremes may be symptoms but they are certainly not evidence of a significant contribution by CO2.
The extent of damage and costs associated with these extremes is also not a measure of their strength but rather a measure of perhaps unwise human development. We do tend to get complacent due to the infrequency of these extreme events.
If we are wanting find a location totally free of dangerous weather events your choices are extremely limited and perhaps non-existent.
What is seldom considered is that climate change could as easily save you as destroy you.
but would you recognize & acknowledge if an reversal in the trend has occurred – or would you be a denier
