And we thought deadly wind chill would be a “thing of the past”. A bit of humor here from the President, and while any one weather event doesn’t prove or disprove anything (except when it’s a heat wave, because we are told that ALWAYS proves global warming) we can surely laugh at Trump’s having fun winding those folks up.
In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you!

we’ve had quite a few “record cold” events in the upper midwest these past couple years. most recent one was called “october”
I went drove to visit my grandfather in Manitowoc, WI around xmas of 1983. The carburetor on my Dodge Power Wagon froze up several times on the way from Ft Riley, KS. Mostly around Chicago due to the wet snow from ice melt on the roads.
There was 3 feet of snow on the ground when I got there. I was told the wind chill was around 80 below, but I guess that wasn’t official. I had to buy a block heater to keep my truck’s engine block from freezing and cracking. The truck wouldn’t fit in my granddad’s old garage, truck was too high. So I could only get the front end up to the windshield in there. It was just enough to help the block heater.
So, in other words, been there, done that.
” the coldest ever recorded”
– but it was still 33C warmer than it would’ve been without Earth’s mystical ‘greenhouse gases’?
Thomas
To cite their misconception more closely, we could say that it is 33C warmer than it would have been without any atmosphere at all. They make that comparison, not between an atmosphere without GHG’s and one with. Strange as it seems (not to mention in-apropos), to them it is all or nothing.
The con is to get you to think that having no GHG’s is the same as having no atmosphere. They are literally that wrong.
Thanks Crispin in Waterloo – good point

Click on “Reference Pages” then “ENSO”.
The chart shows that last year’s attempt at another El Nino was successful into December.
Then the temp of that “El Nino” part of the Pacific has been plunging.
Also into December the DMI chart of the temp North of 90 was rising.
Then it dropped to the mean.
That DMI chart can move up and down during the winter as a “Polar Vortex” comes down and “warmer”, but still winter air comes up from elsewhere.
And the average temp goes from, say, -40 to -30.
If one looks at the chart in the 1960s the volatility was there, but sometimes below the mean.
I wonder if this is returning?
The Danish Met Institute reported late in last year, that the two recent melt seasons lost less ice than hitherto.
I wonder if this is a developing trend change?
DJT chose the elongated version of
“You are cold, terribly cold? Well, warmer is better!”
I told you.

that dryer summers and cooler winters are ahead….
mkae sure you know exactly about what is about to come././.
Most recently I heard somewhere on your blog [something abt Thomas Jefferson] of a 1755 drought in the USA which is ca. 90 years ahead of the 1845 drought…
no alarm?
Co2? Probably you mean CO2…
Co2 is a molecule consisting of two atoms of cobalt!
Remember this?

A brief warming in the Arctic is climate. *** Dangerous ***, record-setting cold in the midwest is weather…
How about continuous replays of the John Holdren explanation of polar vortex caused by global warming and the mild disclaimer after the fact by the Obama WH.
Honestly, Trump’s presidency was worth it just for him offending people who LIVE to offend others, but sure as hell can’t take it.
And Lord have they been needing it.
ABC News had a report tonight on the Evening News about NOAA posting a graphic supposdely refuting Trump’s making fun of Global Warming by noting how cold it was in a tweet.
The graphic showed what looked like a big teapot hovering over the atlantic ocean with water vapor coming out the spout that was situated over the northeast U.S. It was implying that Global Warming was causing more water vapor to evaporate from the ocean which then caused increased snowfall in the northeast U.S. I think they said the spokesperson at NOAA said the NOAA graphic was not meant to be a rebutal of Trump’s tweet. But that didn’t stop ABC News from saying it was.
The ABC commentator gave the impression that “Trump’s own NOAA” was refuting Trump’s tweet, implying that Trump is so off-base that even his own government experts are refuting Trump.
The Leftwing News Media also tried to make the same kind of case today on Trump and national security matters, making it appear that Trump is completely out of touch with his own cabinet.
The propaganda and misinformation never ends from the Leftwing News Media.
Just remember that before you go get all worked up about what the Leftwing News Media is reporting about Trump, you need to let the story age for a day or two, and eventually, the real truth of the matter will come out. Don’t take anything the Leftwing News Media says at face value. They have an agenda and it doesn’t include reporting the truth.
Impressionist news is another new term that needs to be considered alongside fake news.
