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.

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.
From the article: “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.”
What “thresholds” are being crossed, Gavin?
Gavin implies that he sees CAGW showing itself in our current weather. Gavin should provide some evidence of this happening.
I don’t expect Gavin to provide any evidence because he doesn’t have any evidence for this. All the evidence says just the opposite: The weather is not more extreme now than in the past.
Most people aren’t evil they’re just gullible. They have been taught bullshit for the last 30 years and they believe what they are taught.
Most US sceptics have very little idea of the impact of climate change outside the US. Lucky for them they don’t live in a country being drastically impacted by it: https://www.dw.com/en/mali-resisting-climate-change/av-44648479

Try living in Canada idjit !
“Coldest Ottawa snowstorm in more than 100 years”

I would prefer a little more “Globull Warming” thanks….
So how about if you did live in Mali? And why are you focusing on a one-off weather event like the wizard-in-chief does?
Here’s the average annual rainfall graph for Mali from 1919 to 2017. Looks like a much bigger drop in the 1980s than now, and now appears to be much the same as 1919.
So where’s the “climate change” there?
All I see is a graph from Trading Economics that could be about the annual price of donkeys in Mali.
