There are many things a President can do. Controlling the weather is not one of them. Yet Lesley Stahl chose to begin her 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump by badgering him about global warming and hurricanes! Sure, there are geopolitical and domestic crises to deal with, and sure, half the country is currently waging a civil war, and sure, top Democrat leaders are calling for violence on a daily basis, but why don't you do something to make it nicer outside, Mr. President?
Instead of kowtowing to political correctness, this President did what he always does and laid a truth bomb on the clueless Ms. Stahl:
Lesley Stahl: Do you still think that climate change is a hoax?
President Donald Trump: I think something's happening. Something's changing and it'll change back again. I don't think it's a hoax, I think there's probably a difference. But I don't know that it's manmade. I will say this. I don't wanna give trillions and trillions of dollars. I don't wanna lose millions and millions of jobs. I don't wanna be put at a disadvantage.
Lesley Stahl: I wish you could go to Greenland, watch these huge chunks of ice just falling into the ocean, raising the sea levels.
President Donald Trump: And you don't know whether or not that would have happened with or without man. You don't know.
Indeed she doesn't. And the truth is, all evidence points to climate and weather as being natural phenomena, with man being a global non-factor.
Here's some scientific proof for those open to skepticism on the issue of manmade climate change:
- The Earth is 4.5 billion years old. (That's billion, with a b.)
- The best known record of Earth's climate goes back about 800,000 years, and was determined by two sets of ice cores at Vostok and Dome C. (Here's a data summary for those interested. And here's some raw data.)
- What the data show is a remarkable cycle of cooling and warming at least every 100,000 years. Like clockwork.
- If that trend has been consistent for 4.5 billion years, there have been at least 45,000 such cycles on Earth.
- That's 45,000 cycles of global cooling followed by...global warming!
- Not a single one of those cycles was caused by man.
- The ice core data also show that CO2 changes lag temperature changes by 1200 + or - 700 years. In other words, CO2 doesn't drive climate, climate drives CO2! This is the opposite of what the warmists have been telling you. (Here's an analysis of the lag for those interested.)
How many people like Ms. Stahl, who are convinced that Hurricane Michael and Greenland's melting glaciers are caused by man, even know there have already been at least 45,000 natural global warmings in Earth's history? And how many people know that the historical record shows the opposite of what the warmists have been telling you about CO2?
