WTF (What the Fish?)

In case you missed it, here is what President Trump said Jan. 28, 2018, in an interview with Piers Morgan:

“There is a cooling and there's a heating—I mean, look, it used to not be climate change. It used to be global warming. 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, okay? They're at a record level.”

The President is wrong. The overall globe has been heating, and ice caps have been shrinking.  This ridiculous situation reminds me of the Norwegian Blue Parrot Scene from Monty Python "To celebrate The British Comedy Award nomination for 'Best Comedy Moment of 2014.'"  I think historians will recall this moment too.  To clarify on a more serious note, according to NASA "Sixteen of the 17 warmest years in the 136-year record all have occurred since 2001, with the exception of 1998. The year 2016 ranks as the warmest on record." and "Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum each September. September Arctic sea ice is now declining at a rate of 13.2 percent per decade, relative to the 1981 to 2010 average." NASA also noted, according to businessinsider.com, "2017 was the second warmest year on record since 1880."

I have many republican friends and relatives, and I wish some of you would tell the President you care about climate breakdown and, for the sake of your children, and theirs, want global carbon emissions reduced.
