A Moron's Weather Report

OK, I've managed to go several days without dealing with this moron but...

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!

Oh God. This idiot! And others like him!

 

Every time it snows a lot or gets colder than normal, climate change deniers come out in force to use such as weather as proof of their assertions.

Seriously, one time a Congressman brought in a snowball to the floor as proof that global warming was a fake. 

 

“Global Warming” is not a descriptor of weather. “Global Warming” is a term applied to the general global CLIMATE which is getting warmer. The overall climate of planet Earth over the course of years and decades is getting warmer. It doesn’t mean that on any given day, it can’t get cold.

 

One of the side affects of “Global Warming” is that weather patterns can become more extreme. Yes, heats waves occur more often and are hotter. Hurricanes become stronger. And “Global Warming” can make cold weather colder and more brutal. The fact that winter weather is still cold does not disprove “Global Warming”. The fact that frequent patterns of extreme winter weather with increased snow and ice, harsh winds and brutaly cold temperatures is a consequence of “Global Warming”.

 

Equating “Global Warming” with hotter weather is the epitome of ignorance. The warming of the global climate changes that climate and affects the weather in that climate.

 

Sadly, Li’l Donnie is not alone. Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke are climate change deniers who are dismantling former President Barack Obama’s climate legacy as quickly as they can.

 

And in addition to misunderstanding what the “Global Warming” even is, Li’l Donnie can’t help but throw in a lie.

 

Trump’s message references his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the landmark Paris climate accord. Under the deal, the U.S. had promised to cut greenhouse gas emissions 26 to 28 percent by 2025 compared to 2005 levels, and had committed $3 billion ― not “trillions of dollars” ― in aid to the Green Climate Fund, which helps poorer countries adapt to climate change.

But what else can we expect from our MORON and LIAR in chief?
