Donald Trump gets polar ice trend backwards

By Jon Greenberg on Monday, January 29th, 2018 at 3:59 p.m.

President Donald Trump, who once called climate change a hoax spread by China, downplayed concerns about global temperature trends in an interview with Piers Morgan.

Morgan asked Trump if he believed that climate change exists.

"There is a cooling and there is a heating and I mean, look – it used to not be climate change – it used to be global warming," Trump said in an interview broadcast Jan. 26. "That wasn’t working too well, because it was getting too cold all over the place. The ice caps were going to melt, they were going to be gone by now, but now they’re setting records, so okay, they’re at a record level."

regarding satellite imagery, on site ice measurements, topographical research, temperature measurements etc, etc

Although Grassley bringing a snowball into Congress during a cold spell once to prove no climate change is a close one.

All to appease Foxxx and The Base and Big Oil...and only one line I noticed in Shitlers speech about Science, versus a dozen Christian only shout outs...this is NOT America and will never be even with these cretins in political power.

Lots of the buzzwords to make it sound like he knows what he is talking about.

He takes quite a few words to say absolutely nothing with any meaning. Palin used to be the Queen of Word Salad, but I think tRump took the crown away from her. The utter nonsense of their sentences is most glaring when you read a transcript of their speeches. Most frustrating to try to make sense out if it. But if you understand it is not meant to make Sense but rather to just sound insightful and intelligent, then you get the purpose of that tactic.
