Although he won't understand it, every 1 degree increase in GW causes 7% more moisture to be able to be held in the air.  This increases both the amount of rain fall and snow fall, but because it also changes circulation patterns, it will often happen in unusual places. >

As if Trump even understands that snow comes from evaporated water. >

Trump is an expert when it comes to water:

“This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water” >

Holy fuck… he… he said that? 
I must have blocked it out of my mind. What a complete idiot. Wow. Leader of the free… oh I feel sick again. >

I need a 365-day calendar of Trump quotes.
Just to remind me every day that no matter what happens, every person I engage with is still smarter and has more humanity than that guy. >

Frankly I'm not sure what's worse, Trump being this dumb, or people dumb enough to vote for someone this dumb. >

For me the latter will always be worse.
Imagine I put a turd in a ziploc bag, and slap a $5 price tag on it. You'd think "haha what a weird dude". But then you see someone else actually come in and buy it from me. What would you think of them?? >

Now try $99 and it's for digital ownership of a turd. >

Well... not ownership of the turd. You can pay $99 to have your name associated with a copy of an image of the turd. >

Man with the intelligence of a second grader, if that, weighs in on an isolated weather matter as if it says anything about climate change (global warming) not being real. This moron was president of the United States, FFS. >

It's even stupider than that, the isolated weather matter is directly related to it being warmer.   Warmer means the lakes take more energy in and produce more vapor, especially in areas like th Great Lakes or the Gulf of Mexico where the water is frequently very shallow and big areas can heat up quickly.   Warmer air has more capacity to store water.  Heavy snow happens most frequently in 25F-32F range.  The colder you get the less likely a big snowstorm is.  Getting down below 0F it basically becomes impossible to snow.  That's why the Arctic regions are deserts and why in the Great Lakes region the biggest snowstorms tend to happen in October/November.
Warmer also means more energy in the air which means more wind.  Big storms are caused by big temperature differentials, so having a warmer Gulf creates bigger temperature gradients for these early winter storms that drop the most precipitation. >

I was surprised how far I had to scroll down for this comment. We have crazier weather than ever before with deadlier storms. They really look at this data and say it’s not from global warming? >

Because it’s counterintuitive on the very surface. We call it “global warming”, and they say “but it’s cold right here”. They don’t even care enough to try to understand, all they care about is pandering to whoever backs their campaigns and telling their dumb base what they want to hear. >

The stupidity of Donald Trump's claim that "global warming can't exist because winter."  Those who say this either don't want to understand, or they're just regurgitating GOP propaganda.  In either case, it doesn't exactly say great things about their capacity to use critical thinking skills. >

I think Trump (and all those other crazies) genuinely have this mental image of global warming being the entire world literally burning up in giant flames. 
Which, might happen at some point in the future, but if Republicans worried about the long term in any matter, they wouldn’t be Republicans. >

What’s crazy is how deep in denial you have to be as a Republican farmer who has lost his crops or his cattle or whatever to droughts/heat waves/fires/freezes/floods/pests in the past few years and still won’t admit liberals were right when they warned them about climate change. >

Same stupidity as the idiots who say, "Evolution is just a theory."
Learn what words mean in the context they are used in, morons. >

Don't we actually know more about evolution than gravity? >

Yea we sure do. In the grand scheme of things we don't really know how gravity works just that it does work.  We know far far more about evolution. >

Hey hey, we have a lot of ideas of how gravity might work and what probably makes it work.  Maybe, but we're on the right track!  I think... >

Ugh. Gravity works because I want it to. That's why things get weird whenever I get distracted >

From the same logic-addled brain that brought us: "I couldn't have lost the election because I had big crowds at rallies." >

First it was dead and illegal people voting, now it’s well, yep more people voted for Biden but but it’s because Twitter hid the Hunter story! Which cheating story do you want to stick with sirrrr? Lmao. You’ll never hear of fake ballots again, it’s voter manipulation now😂 >

Twice impeached disgraced seditious rapist fails to understand the difference between weather and climate.
Election is over, wtf is garland waiting for? >

I honestly wonder if it's from ignorance, or because he knows his base doesn't know the difference. >

Yeah.   I’m not so sure he really doesn’t get it.  He’s most likely just speaking to his base who mostly are into denial.  (And big oil that doesn’t care!!) >

My man, he changed the projected path of a hurricane, in a map he presented on national television, with sharpie. The dude is dumber than a baked potato >

Just for those ignorant fucks that still believe climate change and the badly named 'global warming' means that the weather is just continuously getting mildly warmer...
No, you need a slap with a wet newspaper on the nose.
Climate change mainly means an increase of hither to uncommon extreme weather events...
Extreme droughts, extreme rainfalls and inundations, extreme cold snaps and blizzards, etc. etc...
It means that all those 'once in a life-time' disasters are becoming more and more common place, and we're not in any way prepared to deal with any of it. >

See, people say ‘global warming’ is a bad term to use but that’s only because of uneducated fuckheads like Trump. 
Global warming is absolutely occurring. Climate change is the resulting product of that warming. >

Exactly. And btw, it's going to be above 50 in Buffalo tomorrow - December 30th. >

A week ago in Chicago it was like -10°F. Today it was almost 60°F. >

Science has never been his strong point. Or Math. Or English. Or Business Studies. Or… Well it’s a long list. >

Or Phys Ed. Or Home Ec. Or History. Or Industrial Arts. Or Chemistry. Or Biology. Or Study Hall. Or Detention ... >

Ahem… I’ll have you know that he has the best, the bigliest, words and is most definitely a very stable genius. >

Covfefe >

Scientists drew a sharpie circle around it and it just fucking went away. Moron. >

Just change the numbers the same way you can just change a 60 into an 80 on your report card >

Ignore him, he's of no consequence. >

He can still help us. Let him talk and spew and fight amongst his minions. He is the greatest “conservative” in recent memory and will hopefully be the nail in the coffin of the GQP. Keep going tRump and may the wind be at your back sailing the Republican ship into the rocks. >

I hope so, and I dont ever say this but...I wouldnt underestimate the GOP. (Ouch) But, i think they're onto him too. >

Also, what happened to world hunger? I ate a good dinner and I'm full so obviously nobody else in the world goes hungry.
Come to think of it, I'm posting this in my house so I've just solved homelessness too! >

He's incapable of understanding basic science. 
So are his followers.
Dumb as bricks. >

Precisely. Weather ≠ climate. >

Higher water temperatures caused the massive amounts of snow.  That's how lake effect snow happens. >

Jesus tapdancing Christ, not even pig shit is as thick as this man. >

Can we trade him for his weight in pig shit? >

Probably not, because pig shit has actual value. Unlike Trump. >

Gonna have to do better than that with George Santos around. >

Buffalonian here to say the warmer lake temp causes lake effect snow >

Aside from that, now that the cold snap is over, it's over 50 in western NY, it felt like spring today. >

I ate today. What happened to world hunger? >

Perfect response. >

Why won't this human sh*t stain go away already? >

The old moron arguing weather over climate. >

If you're expecting republicans let alone Trump to understand the science behind Global Warming, you're gonna have a bad time. >

The saddest part about this is that 90% of the Trump worshippers just think he made a great point and owned the world’s climate scientists. >

Actually the storm IS supporting  evidence of climate change.  Anyone who spends 15 minutes actuallly trying to understand the implications will understand that not only will droughts be more severe, but storms will become more intense and the "once in a hundred year" storms will become more frequent and catastrophic. >

"My voters are as aware about the difference between weather and climate as they are about who pays when I borrow and spend $8 trillion in 4 years." >

And to prove it, he went out and stared at the sun some more. >

The low intelligence of the right is laughably insane lol >

Buffalonian here with some information about this storm.
First off, fuck Trump for using this to score cheap political points. At least 40 people have been discovered to have died due to this storm so far.  
Second, Buffalo sits at the eastern edge of Lake Erie and is right in the path of what's called a lake-effect snow band. 
Long story short, when the cold, dry wind blows across the still relatively warm lake water, water is sucked up into the atmosphere like a sponge. When the wind then blows across the higher elevations in the Buffalo region, the moisture is essentially squeezed out as a metric shit ton of snow. 
Our main respite from lake-effect snow comes in the form of Lake Erie eventually freezing over towards the middle to end of the winter. Since winters are becoming generally milder due to climate change, we're not getting that freezing. 
So not only is Trump generally a moron about most stuff, but he's also wrong about this. Global warming, so to speak, is indeed fuelling these storms, and is going to make them worse. >

This is a perfect example of our failing education system. Ignorance is rampant. >

That this ignorant buffoon sat in the White House will forever be a stain on this country. >

The weather is not the climate, and the stock market is not the economy.  Two things trump will never understand >

Uhm. What happened in Buffalo is literally what global warming does . It makes the weather more extreme bc of excess heat in the atmosphere >

He is an idiot >

Not only is he an idiot, but he thinks he’s smarter than everyone else. >

Lemme show you with a sharpie buddy… >

The warmer it gets the further down the busted icy bits get bringing MORE cold air and MORE powerful storms to the area. 
The air moving over cold bits giving us more cold air is how air conditioners work and I'm surprised so many R folks can't wrap their heads around it when appliance repair is what a lot are good at. I live in the south and am fairly mechanically inclined and it's a simple concept that the melting ice makes water cold, the air gets cold, hits the warm air then storms. >

Coming from the man who once charted his own hurricane path with a sharpie. Legend. >

I mean this guy wanted to launch a nuclear missile into a Hurricane. So I don’t expect him to understand Climate Change. >

Malaysians have an excellent word for a person like Trump - “BODOH” = stupid!! >

I also like the Polish dupa = basically  a stupid asshole. >

Trump reminds us he's a complete moron and how little the GOP understands about climate science. >

Maybe if he watched discovery or learning Channel he would have some intelligence. Poor guy. It must suck loosing all that money his daddy gave him, and the presidency. >

Trump does not care, but "global warming" will almost certainly lead to the premature deaths of his grandchildren. At least they will "believe" in global warming. >

Still the dumbest x twice impeached draft dodging 37,856 lies and counting college Cheating tax cheat 13 filings for bankruptcy Putin loving and any American 🇺🇸 that believes anything this fat diaper wearing old man says can get the fuck out of my American….. >

DOJ is asking what happened to secret docs after you left the WH? >

The idiot doesn’t know the difference between weather and climate. >

I am so sick of seeing them seeking commentary from this moron. >

“My furnace must be broken because it’s cold in my freezer” >

Well we went from that to 50 degree temps within a week, so yeah... like the clearest picture of Global Warming >

Biggest mistake made in the 80’s calling it global warming. It’s been so engrained in our heads that idiots can’t and don’t understand it’s climate change. >

They can’t get it through their heads that it is the warm season in other parts of the world right now. The term global warming is just too complex of an idea for them to understand. >

They can’t understand global
