In Florida over the holidays, President Trump tweeted, “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!”
Al Gore—the leading global warming propagandist—fearing a collapse of his warming hypothesis, tweeted that the recent record lows are due to global warming. That drew biting derision from real climate scientist Dr. Roy W. Spencer in an imaginary interchange on his Facebook page:
"ME: So warm winters, cold winters, snowy winters, and no-snow winters are all predictions of global warming?
"MR. GORE: Yes, that is correct.
"ME: Are you aware how foolish that sounds to many people?
"MR. GORE: I am aware that there are deniers of the current climate crisis we are in, yes.
Trump’s tweet should surprise no one. During his presidential run, Trump promised to take down climate policies that posed a threat to development and didn’t serve the well-being of American citizens.
After coming to power, he fulfilled that promise, initiating steps to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement and end the Obama administration’s “Clean Power Plan.”
The Paris agreement required the US and other industrialized countries to shell out trillions of dollars over this century to developing countries such as India, who were required to make a mandatory transition from conventional coal-based energy to more expensive and unreliable wind and solar.
Proponents, led by the United Nations, claimed that unless we reduce carbon dioxide emission from fossil fuels, global temperature will rise to dangerous levels.
However, the alarmist claims are based on faulty computer models, which in the past 39 years have predicted two-thirds more warming than actually observed.
Some of the best climate scientists do not support the apocalyptic forecasts, and the staunchest alarmists themselves acknowledged the bankruptcy of these climate models.
The temperatures showed no significant increase in the past twenty years, and there are no scientific reasons to believe that they will increase dramatically in the future.
President Trump’s tweet follows record low temperatures this winter in the US and Canada. Trump is right in his assertion—taxpayer dollars should not be wasted on international programs based on ambiguous scientific hypotheses that systematically contradict real-life temperature levels by a wide margin.
Although record lows do not invalidate or refute the alarmist hypothesis, they do expose the alarmist claim of temperatures rising to levels dangerous enough to disrupt life on earth.
The “record lows” and “record highs” the media trumpet are records only for the instrumental period—the last 150 years. But global temperatures have been changing continuously in the past 2000 years and more, with the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age being much warmer and much colder, respectively.
In fact, global temperature has been on a warming trend since the Little Ice Age ended in the 18th century. The warming trend in the last three centuries has been like other warming trends in the past. The global warming alarmists must stop calling every record high temperature catastrophic.
Changes in atmospheric conditions during the past three centuries have been beneficial to humans and fostered development.
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has benefitted the agricultural sector immensely. Contrary to the alarmist propaganda on CO2, the rise in CO2 has resulted in record agricultural output globally, helping meet the demands of the growing population.
Moreover, fossil fuels are the heart of the global economic engine. Harnessing abundant coal reserves has helped both the developed and developing nations to achieve record energy production in recent years.
Coal reserves in developing countries like India and China are abundant and inexpensive. Modern coal-fired plants used to burn them are essentially free from pollution.
The coal-based energy sector also helps us generate electricity more cheaply than by unreliable renewables. In Europe, electricity prices are highest in countries that have the greatest use of wind and solar technology.
It would be foolish to force successful fossil fuel-based economies to abandon their coal plants. Trump’s refusal to fund alarmist policies is a blessing in disguise for developing nations.
A transition from coal to renewables would not only cause a financial loss but also destroy the energy sector in these countries, eventually pushing them back into the Dark Ages.
Political leaders of the world must stop wasting trillions of dollars on extreme climate policies that harm rather than help humanity. Instead, they should nurture the conventional fossil fuel industry and channel taxpayer money into programs and policies that aid economic and social growth.
>> was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS
To fund the Globalists’ plans for genocide.
de industrializing the US, siphon off American tax payer o money to fund their agenda and the war against the American people from within. Scum should he hunted down like dogs
Trillions of dollars essentially supporting liberalism, supporting their companies, their industries, their flops and of course, the university sector to continually publish reports supporting the scam.
Of course liberals will never let go of this. It’s like having a tap that constantly pours out Soros over and over again.
"They don't think it be like it is, but it do!"
Gore has predicted 52 of the last 3 record high temperatures.

*chuckle* :)
That’s outstanding in his field!
L8r
Scum like Al Gore should be hunted down like Dogs.
Dr. Roy W. Spencer is NOT a “climate scientist”. He is a meteorologist.
Real scientists in this area are meteorologists, climatologists, or oceanographers, etc. “Climate science”—which is entirely based on those computer models— is the equivalent of astrology!!!!
Al Gore—who is no scientist (or even astrologer) at all, now says that “warm winters, cold winters, snowy winters, and no-snow winters are all predictions of global warming”, and calls anyone who is skeptical of this nonsense a “denier”!!!! It’s high time to stop listening to him! BRAVO to President Trump!!!!
The "issue" with the Left is never about the "issue". The issue is not climate change but the defeat of capitalism and replacing it with the socialism. It's always about the socialist revolution.
The author argues climate science when he should be arguing political science. Global warming has everything to do with the Left wanting to pick our pockets to further their socialist ends.
Beware the Government-Scientist Research complex.
I guess when you think it through this is a way to fund big government using the climate as an excuse to tax energy usage.
In Canada the utility bills will double in the coming years to fuel their welfare system, I have heard.
Good for Donald J. Trump to stand up to this nonsense.
That’s the look of someone with serious dementia ...
It is the Maunder Minimum....mini ice age approaching
Yes, writing a check to the gubmint will fix gwobal warming just like the tobacco settlements cured lung cancer.
We need to do more than stop listening to guys like Gore. He needs to be forcefully held down & a wet washrag stuffed in his mouth,preferably on national TV.
