Global Warming Wiz The Donald: Cold + Snow on East Coast = "Take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore"

Add Donald Trump to the list of Climate Change Deniers

It's not just the hair that makes him look foolish, but the words he utters from his mouth. Here's his latest buffoonery.

Donald Trump is not a big believer in global warming. "With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore," the tycoon told members of his Trump National Golf Club in Westchester in a recent speech. "Gore wants us to clean up our factories and plants in order to protect us from global warming, when China and other countries couldn't care less. It would make us totally noncompetitive in the manufacturing world, and China, Japan and India are laughing at America's stupidity." The crowd of 500 stood up and cheered.

Is this supposed to be taken seriously? Isn't it winter on the East Coast and doesn't it usually snow there? Is this his proof?
Please Lord, help us all.

The HuffPo reports:

"The Donald" did not include Vancouver's unseasonably warm temperatures and lack of snow in his weather observations. After last week's record-breaking storms, many scientists went to great lengths to explain that the storms do not disprove climate change. Some even believe that climate change contributed to the storms.

1. Why is anyone listening to Trump?

Correct me if I'm wrong but he's had a number of projects go belly up and collects women like some people collect stamps.

seriously

the term 'global warming' confuses the easily propagandized when the weather turns cold.

6. Isn't Trump a FAILURE at something he's supposed to be an "expert" at?

Not in dispute is the fact that Trump�s businesses have been in and out of bankruptcy court since the early 1990�s. In 1991, The Taj Mahal Casino, which Trump financed largely with high-interest junk bonds, was forced into bankruptcy. In 1992, the Trump Plaza Hotel was forced to reorganize under a Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan after being unable to meet it dept payments. In 2004, Trump Hotels was also forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. About that bankruptcy he said, �I don't think it's a failure, it's a success." This confusion with opposites is considered by many to be a possible explanation for his taste in women.

7. Trump manages most of the "Trump" properties for their

owners. Trump is a fraud.

11. Let's be fair. Trump said he was simply making a sarcastic remark.

The Business types could be so much more credible if they
simply made the case using factual information as to how
the Energy Policy would hurt business and affect jobs.

They and the people at Fox are so obvious. Trying to discredit
Climate change is their way of trying to help business. Looks
deceptive.

Trump stated he never really meant Gore's award should be taken.
