Donald Trump doesn't know the difference between climate and weather
Clinton News Network ^ | Updated 9:23 PM ET, Thu December 28, 2017 | Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

Posted on 12/28/2017 8:41:55 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

(CNN)At 8 p.m. Thursday, after a third straight day of golf at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, and the temperature was 72 degrees, President Donald Trump tweeted this:

"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!"

The "logic" at work here is simple: How can climate change, aka global warming, be real if it is so cold outside?

Trump tweets that 'cold' East Coast 'could use a little bit of' global warming It's the same sort of "logic" that led Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe (R) to bring a snowball onto the Senate floor in late February 2015 as a supposed counterweight to claims of global warming. Toting his snowball in one hand, Inhofe, who was the chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee at the time, said:

"In case we have forgotten, because we keep hearing that 2014 has been the warmest year on record, I asked the chair, do you know what this is? It's a snowball just from outside here. So it's very, very cold out. Very unseasonable."

During the 2016 campaign, someone said that Trumps supporters took him seriously but not literally while his enemies took him literally but not seriously. This is a perfect example.

Yes, Trump supporters "got it," while his detractors clutched their pearls and went to their fainting couches, exactly like he trained them to do. Meanwhile, Trump fans get a good laugh.

I noticed on President Trump’s twitter tweet, all the liberal responses resorted to name-calling towards Trump, a sure sign that the liberals were dumbfounded at Trump’s message to them. When one doesn’t have the facts or answers, they resort to disparaging him as “idiot” etc.

President Trump has the global warmer crowd with their panties twisted and bunched up, very uncomfortable for them, because they are following a false religion (global warming/climate change), and have no sure answers regarding the weather. Wow, I love this President Trump!

Chris will go down in history along with those great intellects like Trofim Lysenko. Twitter drives them crazy. It’s such a short drives they should probably walk.

CNN thinks Trump is giving them a scientific lecture, when he’s actually mocking them.

Surprising after they associated stronger storms with climate change.

The definition of climate change is when environmentalists’ predictions of unprecedentedly warm winters don’t come true, and then they turn around and call winters that are a bit colder than a typical winter “extreme weather”. But it’s only extreme in comparison to these idiots’ bogus predictions.

And Chris Cillizza doesn’t know the difference between his a$$ and a hole in the ground.

He couldn't find his a$$ with both hands if you spotted him the first nine fingers.

>> According to Mr. Cillizza, hot weather is climate but cold weather is just weather.

Exactly.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

Remember as days get colder, animals are attracted to the warmth of cars so check wheel arches or other hiding places.

This is hilarious. Trump really IS living rent-free in these people’s heads.

Note that Trump says “perhaps”, which is exactly correct: If Global Warming is occurring, the odds of a record cold spell would be reduced a bit.

What’s really interesting about this cold spell is that it is going to be unusually cold even in some areas without snow cover, making it even more unusual. It’s not unheard of, but it is worth, perhaps, a raised eyebrow. And some fleece lined jeans, for me!

The talking heads in the media don’t understand the difference either.

Blowing smoke up our a$$ to steal trillions from us is all we need to know about climate change.

Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large?

isn’t that special.

weather is only Manmade Global Warming when the Alarmists say it is.

mind you, I don’t think they believe a word they say.

Yes. Of course, one season doesn’t make a “climate”, but we have had ten years or so of mild winters here in Chitown, and all of these have been taken as evidence of “climate change”.

One season doesn't make climate.
Ten seasons doesn't make climate.
100 seasons doesn't make climate.
1000 seasons doesn't make climate.

The ultimate irony is the climate/weather fraudsters are accusing us "skeptics" of precisely what they have been pitching as science for all of 50 years; a blink or microsecond in the "climate" Universe.

It is the fraudsters that confound the concept of climate vs. weather... and that ain't science.
