Donald Trump took to Twitter Thursday to note the record-breaking cold weather currently slamming much of the eastern U.S., saying the country could use some global warming during the cold snap.
In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Years Eve on record, Trump tweeted. 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!

Large swaths of the US are expected to see record-breaking cold temperatures over New Years weekend, with some areas expected to have low temperatures in the negative 40s.
Much of the Northeast is also facing wind chill advisories over the weekend, with wind chills in New England expected to measure between 20 and 40 degrees below zero. Trump has denied that global warming exists in the past, claiming it was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

(13,874 posts)If we need a little global warming, how does that impact the weather phenomenon that kills the most people worldwide every year?
It isnt hurricanes, tornados, frozen precipitation or lightening - it is heat.
And you get the added benefit of the rise in sea level.

These idiots throw snowballs in Congressional meetings are simply are too ignorant of what climate changes is doing to the Earth!!!
When using the word warming it confuses the science to those people who are truly too uneducated so they come to come to a wrong conclusion.

(1,822 posts)every winter when it gets cold I hear it around here. They'll always mock climate change cause there's still cold out there. Even though a 1 or 2 degree change would pretty much screw us all. They seem to push this lie on their base that if its not 10 or 20 degrees warmer "global warming" doesnt exist. Note that they are very quiet every summer when its 100 degrees.
