Trump tweets warning about record setting cold with baffling joke about global warming

President Donald Trump started off his Sunday morning by tweeting about the cold snap that is hitting the U.S. that showed off his complete inability to understand climate change.

On Twitter, the president wrote: “Be careful and try staying in your house. 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!”

Trump will be dead and gone before the worst effects of climate change take place and he doesn't care what happens to anyone else.

Didn't he say something similar about the deficit? I thought it was reported that he said he did not care about the deficit because he would be gone before the biggest effects of the deficit comes.

what is happening in Australia is extreme to the max though.

Truth is (I'm in the midwest) our winters are getting much milder. The scary part is that summers are longer and hotter. I am really fearful of the coming summer.

In contrast, Gump has the top climate scientists at his beck and call... and he's tweeting global warming jokes.

He is truly an imbecile.

I'm talking about a "caveman" mentality, where the lower brain was in control of many decisions, before the cerebral cortex developed its complex circuitry to enable us to have high-level thinking abilities. Trump is driven by lower brain functions - hunger, anger, fear, hate, sex, jealousy, spite - and is thinking doesn't rise far above these basic urges.

the difference between climate and weather. It's just part of the never-ending propaganda directed toward Drumpf's meathead base. They're brainwashed into believing they know more about climate science than the actual experts because they listen to Ben Shapiro, et al.

Climate change refers to the whole planet. I don't know why I wrote that, since I am sure almost all people on this site know the difference.

Mr. Trump, imagine the Earth is your body, huge and round. Your hands are the Eastern USA. They're only a very small part of the whole. Very, very small.

Imagine the A/C stopped working in your penthouse on a hot July day. You're sweating like Melania just walked in and you've got a porn star in the closet. You try to cool off by putting your tiny little hands in a bucket of ice. You might say "my hands are freezing, the A/C must be working again!" But in reality, the vast bulk of you is still sweltering. Your A/C is still broken. You are too stupid to realize what's happening to your hands isn't happening to your whole body.

And soon, that ice will be melted, and even your hands will be cooking too.

in some northern places like Siberia is warming up. Structures like houses and pipelines built on the solid frozen ground may find their foundations becoming less stable.
Worse, the organic matter in that melting permafrost will decay and release lots of gases adding to the global warming.

Is global warming getting to a point of positive feedback, ie is today's global warming making future global warming much worse, with predicted disaster points getting closer?

Trump may be an idiot, but any idiot should be able to see that the weather is getting more energetic. More fires, more massively destructive out of season storms, more rain there, more drought here, more heat here and more cold there.

Trump, if that was meant as a joke, you must be one real crazy goofball!
