The Sun controls 99.99999 percent of the climate and weather.

The "scientific evidence" was clearly laid out 19 years ago in "The Independent."

The President has used this sort of rhetoric many, many times during his time in office, suggesting that cold weather somehow disproves the scientific evidence that the planet is warming. But it doesn’t quite work that way.

Yeah, sure. In Leftworld, if it’s hot... it means there’s global warming. And if it’s cold... it means there’s global warming. Therefore, anything that happens to the weather at the time proves they’re right and we’re all idiots.

And, by the way, they think it should be illegal to argue with them.

I’ll just go on record that Amy Klobuchar (Demonrat-Tundraland) is NOT electable in Alabama or much of the South. I’ll go further: the dimwit will never be President.

more precisely:

The sun controls 99.99999 percent of the climate which, in turn, controls 99.99999 of the weather.

See if you can control the climate you can control the weather. And the climate is global so, accordingly, politicians must be able to control the world in order to control the climate and thus bring about utopian weather of 72F and sunny days world-wide.

So, what’s in YOUR wallet?

For a theory to even be considered “scientific” in the first place by definition it must be “falsifiable”. Global warming ie. climate change is not “settled science”... it is not even science at all. This is because there are no conditions or tests or anything at all that will disprove the “theory” to the true believers. This belief system is by definition a religion or more accurately a cult.

Agreed that one snow storm is not proof of global cooling, but that same weather IS one small piece of the climate and a true study leans toward cooling, more so than miniscule, within-the-margin-or error increases in worldwide temperature.

There have been many instances of cold winters --even within my memory--but I don't recall the polar vortex continually pummelling north america time after time all winter.

With the solar sunspot activity nearly completely quiet, I seriously worry about dramatic cooling in our future.....which by the way, would be exponentially more troublesome than minor warming.

Why does CNN even bother? Don’t they realize that only the die hard kool aid drinkers are going to read anything they represent as “fact checking “? And that demographic will believe anything negative about the president no matter how over the top it is.

I have begun to suspect that there is more than coincidence in the fact that for a decade just about every high profile Speech from the climate gurus and their High Acolytes is accompanied by colder and snowier-than-expected weather phenomena.

while climate is the weather over the long run

long run = for however long it takes for my premise to be momentarily true

Money to buy a good new parka ‘cause it is getting a bit chilly. Might spring for cross county skis too.

We’re getting nast lake effect today. Snow with freezing drizzle. Spozed to let up tonight then come back on THU.

I said I missed it when I was in Tejas. I’m reconsidering.

CNN telling us that there is a difference between climate and weather is hysterically ironic.

Snow was supposed to be a rare thing by now.

First of all, Trump is conflating two things: weather and global climate.
COLD = weather
HEAT= climate

In Winter we say, "weather and climate change," in summer we only say, "global warming."

Exactly.

And while we say, "global warming caused by CO2,” we neither support carbon-free nuclear power here nor oppose coal-fired electric power station construction in Asia.
