"So as is their seasonal wont, here come the climate skeptics. Exhibit A:
This very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit has got to stop. Our planet is freezing, record low temps,and our GW scientists are stuck in ice
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2014"
And Trump isnt the only one. A similar reaction came from Congressman John Fleming, a Louisiana Republican:
Global warming isnt so warm these days. http://t.co/gOqr2RiuNJ

Rush Limbaugh also weighed in, noting that the Green Bay Packers may face San Francisco in subzero temperatures at home this weekend:
LIMBAUGH: I would love to see Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Hillary sitting outside on the 50 yard line of Green Bay the whole game, and then afterwards do a presentation for us all on global warming. Sit there the whole game outside.
Bring It!
Edit.. had the wrong dude.

"Perhaps the best analogy yet for the insane cold weather now afflicting the U.S. came from science blogger Greg Laden, who created the viral image above. Go home, Arctic, it reads. Youre drunk.
When it comes to the reason why the United States is currently experiencing life-threatening cold with temperatures in the negative-20s in the upper Midwest, and wind chills much lower than that thats actually not so far from the truth. Its basically the jet stream on a drunken path going around the Northern Hemisphere, explains Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis. In other words, were experiencing record-breaking cold temperatures because a wavy and elongated jet stream has allowed frigid Arctic air to travel much farther south than usual.
And according to Francis research which has drawn increasing attention in the past few years were seeing more of just this kind of jet stream behavior, thanks to the rapid warming of the Arctic."
To understand how it works, it first helps to think of the jet stream as a river of air that flows from west to east in the Northern Hemisphere, bringing with it much of our weather...

(2,921 posts)"Coastal erosion - which has already forced the tycoon to fork out for emergency repairs to his third green - could see parts of the Trump International Golf Links vanish beneath the waves.
And it has also been suggested strong south-easterly winds could cause chaos on the links, dumping "tonnes" of sand across the fairways.
Aberdeenshire course, which the American mogul claims is the "world's greatest", prepares to open its doors to the public today.
Trump, 66, who hit the first shot on his 7,400-yard course on Tuesday during its official opening, has taken several preventative steps to protect his land.
Since purchasing the Menie Estate, he has constructed a 250-metre defence system designed to slow erosion around the third hole.
He has also planted Marram grass in an attempt to stabilize a stretch of sand dunes - once considered a special site of scientific interest (SSSI) - which were moving north-wards at an average of a few yards per year.
But a leading geomorphologist yesterday insisted that building the landmark so close to the "inherently unstable" coast could still prove fatal for Trump's creation."

Why his face is as good as any to designate the poster buffoon for Corporate Greed. He looks like he takes care of himself like he takes care of the Planet.
