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."

So from now on whenever there’s a heat wave and snowflakes start melting all over the globe, we can pull out Cillizza’s quote and shove it right in the smug-ass faces!

They are debating with Trump’s Tweets.

Hysterical.

And you do not know the difference between the truth and fiction.

CNN can’t see sarcasm that doesn’t fit the narrative.
In my old age, I’ve lost more IQ points than these nitwits
have among them.

I wonder what they will say as we go into a mini ice age?

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

I think his brain is cizzled.

Neither do they, since every time there’s a cold snap or a hurricane or a heatwave they can’t wait to tell us it’s because of climate change.

Are they really so stupid that they said this?

Is that what they taught you at you CIA internship, Chris?

Apparently the word “central” in CIA means they recruit from the center of the bell curve.

Huh ? now we are back to weather and global warming are different.

Wasn’t the reason “Global Warming” got a name change to “Climate Change” was because the weather anomalies could not be accounted for ?

Yeah every storm is climate change, but cold waves are not?

You are exactly right. Had another comment to add, but getting sleepy and still having a hard time with the new laptop. ;)

That’s why the liberals change global warming to climate change. That way they’re always right - temp up one day and down the next day - climate change! ;)

Cilliza uses "the warmest ever" meme. Those records (IF true) were by the tiniest of margins---(1000nths of degrees) with yuuuuge errors of margin so large that none of the hottest years on record are certain to be hotter.

He's still using the "97% of scientists" meme which is complicated but generally is derived from a study asking those who already agree to respond. As it turned out 3% of those who once agreed had changed their mind. Those who initially disagreed weren't asked.

FRAUD

Global warming gave way to climate change because it doubles the direction things can go before something’s horribly wrong. There is a conceit among the left that it is not only possible but necessary to keep things exactly as they are. When I was in school they told me liberals wanted change and conservatives wanted to keep things as they are.

Now it’s liberals who are ready to ruin the world economy to prevent a one degree rise in temperature that could be delaying the next ice age.

Always be cynical of a theory which considers all counterfactuals as proof of its veracity.
