Quite possibly the dumbest tweet yet

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!

He really really doesn't understand how things work, does he?

No, but doesn't matter. His base will eat this bullshit up and ask for seconds and thirds.

He understands it will play well with his base.

Missing the snowball, His little hands probably couldn't handle one.

The globe can't be getting warmer if the weather keeps getting colder.

 

[Jhhnn]

In Trumplandia, the truth is whatever he can get the most people to believe. Any correlation to objective reality is coincidental.

 

[vi edit]

Because a few days of cold totally negates the fact that 2017 was the second warmest year on record.

Yet? That well has no bottom.

In a world with far too many fu*kwits calling Climate Change, Global Warming was a huge mistake. People with stupidity at their core or greed in their hearts and diabolical agenda in mind will not be convinced regardless of evidence and droves of expert backing. Their King is the perfect King for them.

Second warmest? That means we're enjoying a cooling trend. Now we have to credit Trump with reversing global warming.

Trump's team right now:

Greatest. Tweet. Ever.

While in Alaska the forecast is +28 on Monday and +38 on Tuesday. That Artic to Florida whipping Jet Stream has NO connection to Global Warming.

And there is a black hole at the bottom.

That is the level of IQ computational power that ultimately concludes that the Paris Agreement is a bad idea. It makes sense.

 

[Franz316]

Only a simpleton like Trump and his merry band of morons would equate a cold snap in a tiny portion of the world to a disapproval of of AWG. The Arctic alone has set record highs since November and sea ice is trending down for yet another year.

 

[cytg111]

reminds me of this one

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/dec/15/climate-change-rainfall

A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, and globally water vapour increases by 7% for every degree centigrade of warming. How this will translate into changes in global precipitation is less clear cut but the total volume of precipitation is likely to increase by 1-2% per degree of warming.

There's evidence to show that regions that are already wet are likely to get wetter, but details on how much wetter and what impacts there will be on a local scale are more difficult to ascertain. The dry regions of the subtropics are likely to get drier and will shift towards the poles. For much of Europe, wetter winters are expected, but with drier summers over central and southern Europe.

It is the changes in weather patterns that make predicting rainfall particularly difficult. While different climate models are in broad agreement about future warming on a global scale, when it comes to predicting how these changes will impact weather – and consequently rainfall – there is less agreement at a detailed level.

It is likely that in a warmer climate heavy rainfall will increase and be produced by fewer more intense events. This could lead to longer dry spells and a higher risk of floods.

Trump has the science IQ of a seven year old. Awesome

Bashing Hilary. But he didnt bash any Democrats here, he just bragged about something both stupid and untrue.

.5 percent of scientists agree that humans are causing global warming.

 

[FIVR]

It's a very dumb tweet but there are certainly dumber ones. The Britain First tweets, which resulted in a diplomatic crisis with our greatest ally and Trump being banned from ever seeing the queen, are arguably much more stupid. The "rocket man" tweets could get people killed.

Science is a collection of highly specialized endeavors. It's not like Astrophysicists understand polymers or metallurgy. The .5% of scientists you mention actually study the climate & evaluate historical information. The rest are working on something else.

Bullshit. It's not what your actual source says. Here's is what it actually says:

http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/8/2/024024/meta

We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW, 32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming. Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming. In a second phase of this study, we invited authors to rate their own papers. Compared to abstract ratings, a smaller percentage of self-rated papers expressed no position on AGW (35.5%). Among self-rated papers expressing a position on AGW, 97.2% endorsed the consensus.

It makes no difference whatsoever how many scientific papers are out there which do not address the topic of global warming. How stupid do you think we are?
