President Trump in an early morning tweet on Sunday suggested global warming could be helpful as a massive snowstorm dropped several inches of snow and sent temperatures plunging across the Midwest and swaths of the Northeast United States.

"Be careful and try staying in your house," Trump advised. "Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!"
==================================================================
Instead of 'the emperor has no clothes' read 'our president has no clue.'

Staying careful and considering sheltering in place at home is good advice.

Having some fun with the storm is also a good idea.

This is All Net for Trump

he's a willfully ignorant dullard. it's a bit of a shame, because i don't get the impression that he's naturally stupid. however, he is a sociopathic narcissist with means, and reading books probably seemed more boring to him than getting whatever he wanted when he wanted it. when he is voted out of our misery, that will be a fine day.

You're not even trying anymore are you?

You used to be better.

It's a sure sign that nobody has explained the difference between climate and weather. Still.

Looks to me like he was joking.

Nobody knows more about meteorology than the fat orange guy with tiny hands!

Looks to me like he was joking.

He's spewing the same pigheaded ignorance and scientific illiteracy he's spewed dozens of times before.

E.g. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli...tweets-global-warming-paris-climate-agreement

Of course, whenever Trump speaks on really anything that's what he spews, so it's not surprising, just tiring having a proudly ignorant POTUS.

Looks to me like he was joking.

Yep. I do the same thing, sort of. When it's cold outside, I'll say "Thank God for global warming, or else it would be colder yet."

How can what he said not be a joke?

It's a joke someone utters every time there's a cold snap.

People do not get the joke.
On the other side of the coin the media is not shy about saying the opposite,
https://weather.com/news/news/2019-...57hNjlcmyADwXYiv7C--19mvLxt0cGAtUsgKQBtt0D4TI
So if the weather produces some really hot days, it is global warming, but cold weather does not carry the same weight.
So far the GISS has not published their Dec 2018 temps, to complete the J-D average for 2018,
https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v3/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt
But it looks like globally we lost .07 C from 2017 and .17 C from 2016.
This may not sound like much until we consider that only roughly .6 C of the observed warming is from Human activity,
So a decline of .17 C is like 28% of the entire amount of warming related to Human activity over the last century, lost in only 2 years.

Nor the difference between the current moment & not so gradual change over time, especially with regard to the occurrence of more energetic weather more frequently, including sustained droughts. Weather is a global phenomenon & it's all linked together.

Trump is not a reader. So it is not surprising that he has no appreciation for current science opinion. He believes whatever the last person to leave the OO had said.

The problem is a lot of you aren't joking and those of you who understand the difference never bother to correct them.
