Trump jokes about people who will die in massive winter storm to hit the Midwest



Trump seems to think that global climate change means temperatures are always warmer. In fact, the climate changes and there are dramatic swings in temperature, much like the negative 60-degree wind-chill.

Don't say that climate change includes extreme cold temperatures.
Climate change is about average and extreme warm temperatures only.
None of the problems the planet will face in the absence of action are due to cold temperatures.
Droughts, wildfires, etc are exacerbated by rising warm temperatures. The correct response to Trump is that the Midwest is not a planet.

Warming is in fact what is occurring and much too fast. And the arctic is warming faster than anywhere. Once the ice caps are gone, we are toast.

here in Minneapolis, it will get brutally cold the next few days, and yet by the weekend it will be unseasonably warm, temps in the mid to upper 30s.

If you would do any real research into global average temps instead of scripting asinine tweets to anecdotal situations, you would have a better understanding of reality, you reprehensible jackass.

But here in Omaha the forecast for this morning was for -14. The actual temperature is plus 10, which is near normal for this time of year. Don't know if clouds moved in or what but that is 24 degrees above the forecast.

He's said stuff like that before. Can't he come up with anything new. Losing his edge.

If he wants me to react or comment on something, he'd better come up with some new material!

They focus on anecdotal facts like it will be really cold for a couple of days, rather the overall intrinsic evidence if a global condition. 45 can't think big picture. That's why he is a policy failure.

It was a cold winter day in 1979 in the City of Chicago...but I was young and strong..

Temperature on that day..in January.... 14 Below Zero...Wind Chill...-78 Below Zero..

So I put on extra cloths, one layer after another, on top of another, on top of another..I was warm..
It was very cold, and had snowed. Lots of snow...??

So I went out..all bundled up...and ran a mile on the city streets. Now you don't have to believe this..
but I was young, strong, and kinda stupid then, (I am smarter now..not much) ..but that is what I did.
I was out there for about 15-20 minutes...not a fast jogger...But I made it.

Here is today's last one....
Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump & Mr. Trump,
You belong in a garbage dump...............thank you......
