People will do and say anything for money. I want these suckers to get naked and take a swim in Lake Michigan for Global Warming. That’s the ticket!

Well...a few months ago it was warm there. Given that, climate change is responsible. The climate changed. What morons. Haven’t they heard of the word “seasons”?

Apparently, Climate Scientists now believe Global Warming is causing Planetary Cooling. What’s next, a plague of locusts?

The argument goes that increased global temperatures cause more moisture in the atmosphere which will go through the arctic and come down as more snow.

Yesterday they were mocking PDJT for not knowing the difference between “weather and climate”. Now they’re claiming this weather is due to changes in climate. smh.

Ok let's state the obvious. Things like how hot or cold it is outside, how much and how the wind blows, how much moisture is in the air, and if it and how it is raining, hailing, or snowing is called "weather".

It turns out that "weather" is not always constant. This may be shocking to some people...but it is true. Different parts of the Earth may have different "weather" even during the same moment of time. And the same place on Earth may have different weather on different days.

Over short periods of time, these changes are called changes in weather. Over longer periods of time, changes in the trends of weather are called changes in climate.

Changes in climate have been going on for as long the Earth has been around. They have happened before humans walked the Earth, and if humans were to pass away from the Earth, they would continue to happen afterward.

So if there is a trend to be cold, or hot, or wet, or dry or windy, or less windy or any other change, it is indeed due to "climate change". Not because of any Empirical reason, but simply because that is what changes to the climate or "climate change" simply means.

But wait! Not so fast! The failed empirical hypothesis put forward by climate alarmists about significant "Anthropomorphized Global Warming" due to green house gas concentrations being increased having an insignificant direct effect resulting in a feedback for a significant and actionable indirect effect, has been intentionally equivocated with the term "climate change", in order to pretend that all changes in climate that may be remarkable, may somehow show that the failed hypothesis was in some way right all along.

I call Bull on this. Its neither good science, nor good reasoning. Its nothing but people that got it wrong trying to pretend they were right all along somehow.

Why? Because liberals need tax increases, not tax cuts.. If it was warm, they’ll say the same BS...

Remember "Weather is not climate!"

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!

A study published last year in the journal WIRES Climate Change, however, lays out how the warming Arctic and melting ice appear to be linked to cold weather being driven farther south.

That's funny. The "Bomb Cyclone" that just hit the east coast started down by Florida and moved north. Do any of these "Climate Scientists" ever check a weather report?

“Once you have ALL weather covered by “climate change” you’ve won the argument. The millenials and LIVs buy this crap.”

And in the event of a string of identical data, decry the terrifying hazards of “a stultifying sameness that robs the environment of its natural and necessary dynamism”.

The alarmists are so good at tying current weather to CO2 emissions after the fact, yet somehow never get it right ahead of time.

“Very recent research”? Why do more research? It’s “settled science”!

If it weren’t for Climate Change, Chicago would still be buried under Ice a mile thick.

The positive result, no Obama.

They definitely want both sides. Total control baby. It’s where it’s at. Now how come they just won’t come out and say, our efforts to cool the planet appear to be working? Odd that. Lol.

It has been unseasonably hot where I live. This is considered evidence of global warming. It is freezing cold in the NE. This is further proof of global warming. If I fart, belch, or pick my nose, it is due to global warming. Global Warming is to atheists what God’s Sovereignty is to Calvinists - the Root of EVERYTHING.

Oh come on; we all know that if you turn up the oven to 450 F and put in an ice tray you will have ice cubes in 10 minutes.

Thanks Puppage! That brings back some 'warm' memories.

Without a doubt one of the biggest BS scams going...I'm surprised that our gallant media hasn't yet figured it out.

Meanwhile, as I take out the recycling, it's a balmy -14F windchill here in Sunny Pennsylvania.
