The frantic public efforts to “correct” President Trump’s tweets every time he trolls the warmists are revealing.
US government scientists correct Trump over climate change statements: ‘Winter storms don’t prove global warming isn’t happening’
President’s outburst follows number of recent tweets gleefully disregarding scientific consensus
Tom Embury-Dennis
Chris Riotta…
Experts were quickly forced to correct the president online, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a government research agency which simply tweeted the statement, “Winter storms don’t prove global warming isn’t happening.”
…
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!

Responding to Mr Trump on Twitter, Jonathan Foley, an environmental scientist at the California Academy of Sciences, said: “You knew this was going to happen. It’s cold in less than 1% of the planet for a few days, so the long term warming and destabilization of a planet’s entire climate system must not be true.
“In related news, Trump had a Big Mac today, so there is no such thing as global hunger.”

NOAA’s claim that warm ocean temperatures cause more snowfall is a bit of a turnaround from all the end of snow predictions we’ve heard over the years.
NOAA’s explanation also leaves out a little, such as an explanation of why the heat from the warmer oceans is being lost in transit.
I can’t believe how hung up these experts appear to be over CO2. I’ve been seeing this comment on various Yahoo stories and you’d think the original commenter was calling their children ugly they way some folks respond:
Proof of change does not equate to proof of cause. Any findings which rely on IPCC gospel are as short sighted as the IPCC. If you look at their charter, they are only allowed to consider CO2 as the cause of change.
They are not allowed to consider land use changes, natural weather fluctuations, or other natural changes.
The IPCC has never had to prove what effect changing CO2 levels have when mixed with other atmospheric conditions. They have no study showing how 1 molecule of CO2 is more powerful than 10,000 molecules of water vapor.
For the record, anyone who has to resort to name calling, such as saying someone is a denier, especially in this case is rather lazy.
After all, I’m not denying the climate changes. I am just questioning the appearance of science which hasn’t been proven in a lab using actual atmospheric gases and situations.
I haven’t seen any ghosts, space aliens, Bigfoot tracks, or the Loch Ness monster, but that doesn’t prove they don’t exist.
No read again the quote … it would be more like
Just because I observed ducks on Loch Ness doesn’t prove there isn’t a Loch Ness Monster.
You need to observe something but claim it doesn’t negate a different and tenuously related contradictory thing.
In the above we are sort of implying if the Loch Ness Monster existed it would scare or eat the ducks.
It has been standard operating procedure to describe the normal as abnormal since the “travesty” of the pause caused a communications crisis. For example, the practice in recent years of giving winter storms, names like hurricanes and typhoons. Or droughts in the desert. They can’t have somebody disrupting the narrative, even in jest.
Experts “forced” to issue statement: “You common people can’t believe your lying eyes. You just can’t. And you can trust us on this because we’re experts and therefore immune to political ideology. Yes, it may get a little chilly from time to time over the next few days/weeks/months or even years, which granted does seem a little inconsistent with the entire notion of an unnaturally and rapidly warming world, but that’s just because you don’t really understand thermometers like we do and it doesn’t mean we’re not all going to die from climate change anyway so, we just want to clarify that.”

I forgot..
When media was claiming that President Trump was responsible for hurricane Frances, did these same self-appointed hall monitors tssk tssk the fear mongers?
Time to gut all the leftists out of USG agencies, they are clearly pushing an anti-American and anti-human ideology.
Yet the warmistas use heat waves to “prove” CAGW.
Dingdingding!!!! We have a winner. Ever time it is hot weather environtards screech it is globall warmining.
And that is why Trump tweeted, because CAGW believers do that all the time. Even using faked data and reference points such as the Australians just did (Record breaking Temps: not exactly, a) was higher in 19th century and b) you shouldn’t read temp’s in the middle of a city and then ‘correct’ them upwards).
And not just heatwaves, but forest fires in forest fire prone forests, hurricanes during hurricane season, wedge tornadoes in tornado alley, blizzards in winter, vineyards almost able to produce as far north as they were producing 1,000 years ago, ice sheets calving, and early springs on Mars, it’s all exactly what you’d expect as climageddon approaches.
Paris, 12 December 2015 – The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela submitted its new climate action plan to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
no food, no medical supplies, rampant violent crime, oil production plummeting, government officials stealing everything in sight, mass exodus of citizens to neighboring countries… but they are on top of climate change
The UN applauds
They say Winter is Coming.
Well let me tell you an ancient Gorian saying: When Winter is Here, you know Global Warming has arrived. *
*[ with just almost 50% chance, corresponding to IPCC level: Very High Certainty ]
There’s no science on WUWT, just denialist / alarmist rage machines spinning waves…sigh
Oh Damn Davy
There’s a heck of a lot of science here. Also the politics. You know Dave… the guys that have been blowing up your dream. We’re here getting the ammo. Did you feel rage when we pulled out of Paris. Enjoy. There’s more to come
It’s climate science to start with and that precludes any real science regardless of wherever it is being discussed.
And you believe, the so called “settled sciece” is science ?
It’s denialistic science, hiding facts, not seeing facts, not believing facts.
Call it better religion.
By the context, I think you meant “no science in CAGW”. I do that too – get my acronyms all crossed up. Senior moment…
Another seagull troll. Squawks, poops and flies off.
God, please bless Donald Trump. He is often rude and always egotistical and many times crass but he is truly trying to do the things which need to be done for the good of our country. And thank you, Lord, for keeping the Clinton Cartel out of high office.

Amen, Brother Jim! 🙂
NOAA just publicly busted the idea that extreme weather events are evidence of global warming.
Wow – Trump – the things he gets people to say. LOL
Here, in south Texas, we call Global Warming summer… and winter… and spring and fall too.
Climate science warms far more to socialism than to temperature.
But global warming is happening. It is slight, beneficial, and mostly at night in deserts.
If Govt. scientists Tom Embury-Dennis and Chris Riotta believe in the pseudo-science of consensus, President Trump is right to mock and ridicule them.
…
Experts? If I recall correctly, NOAA had forecast a warmer than average winter for the Midwest. How is that forecast coming?
…wiped out the entire midwest banana crop
When I lived in Illinois, the “banana” crop was planted in late March and harvested in late September or Early October. The plants were 6 to 10 feet tall and had 3 to 4 “bananas” per plant. While I would occasionally peal and eat them raw, they were best boiled with butter … and most people called it corn.
Relax DONNY!! It’ll be back next week 😀
“Winter storms don’t prove global warming isn’t happening.”
+=========
And summer heatwaves don’t prove that global warming is happening.
That is why the name was changed to climate change. That way, regardless if temperatures go up or down, scientists can say climate is changing.
A win-win for pseudoscience.
In November, the Danish Met Institute reported that the last two melt seasons did not lose much snow in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the early 1960s, lecturers on geophysics discussed two main theories for ice ages. One was Milankovitch, which notes that all that is needed for expanding ice cover is that the loss during the melt season is less than deposition during the winter.
The other theory discussed was that the key was big amounts of snow provided by an open Arctic Ocean. And a cold continent. The latter was puzzling to this student at the time
Of course, the accumulation of evidence confirms Milankovitch.
And according to so many promoters from Hansen on, cold and snow were expected to not just diminish but to end. Where is Dr. Vener?
This blast of cold and snow is a weather event, but what will be of interest is another summer with less melt.
I can hardly wait for summer.
Scientifically speaking, of course.
This graph clearly shows that global warming “is happening”. Sure, it’s just a tiny blip up at the end of a 10,000-year long downward trend, but still, there it is, in all its hideous scariness.

Isn’tit a mix of proxy and thermometer data ???
AGW praxis 🙁
The closer we look the scarier it looks. Like those mites in the bed sheets. To a non-scientist much of the panic seems to be a result of this phenomenon.
It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.
— Richard P. Feynman
It should be end of story, all there models fail to accurately predict anything.
A true honest scientist, would go back to work, and find out where they failed.
I prefer “I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.”
How is dumping CO2 into the atmosphere any different than dumping say plutonium or radioactive iodine?
We are told that CO2 is an existential threat. Meaning it will wipe us out of existence just as surely as dumping plutonium into the atmosphere.
Which means that scientists that believe in climate change are knowingly dumping plutonium equivalent into the atmosphere when they use fossil fuels.
Don’t they have a special responsibility to take action and show they are serious BEFORE pointing fingers at the rest of us.
It seems like what they are actually saying is “I believe so you need to clean up your act leaving me free to continue sinning”
Those with the biggest carbon footprints are shouting the loudest that everyone else needs to make sacrifice. All the while the are demonstrating they don’t actually believe CO2 is a serious threat.
