Citing "the coldest winter ever recorded," Trump wants Gore to lose prize

As climate scientists, meteorologists and even fake news pundits take to the internet, airwaves and print media to explain the difference between weather and climate, there's a seemingly endless barrage of amateur weather pundits like Donald Trump declaring an end to global warming.

Citing the winter weather and above-average snowfalls in the mid-Atlantic and northeast over the last few weeks, Donald Trump told a roomful of members at his New York country club that the Nobel Prize Committee should take back the Nobel Prize Al Gore won for his work bringing attention to global warming.

According to the New York Post, Trump said to the 500 members of the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester:

"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."

Trump went on, making the leap from amateur meteorology to geopolitical economics:

"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 then reportedly stood up and cheered.

Since when was Donald Trump a climate expert, he is only more concerned about the money in his pockets.

I guess Gore has done all of this for nothing. I think not, his net worth is estimated at more than 450 million. Oh Yea! Is GORE a climate expert???????? Seems his pockets are getting full and he spends a lot of that dough on his electric and gas bill at his estate in Brentwood, TN, I live across the street from him. Lights are never out.

Donald Trump became and expert at the same time Al Gore did. Trump, however, had REAL WORK to do all while Al spewed poop out of his mouth

Dick Richards-

You write: “Trump however, had REAL WORK to do…”

You must be referring to those piles of bankruptcy forms Trump has had to fill out. Oh, and now, he’s Double-Stuff Oreos.

I suppose you’re right, all that REAL WORK can take a lot out of a person.

I don’t even understand what Dick Richards is trying to say with “Donald Trump became and (sic) expert at the same time Al Gore did.”
And expert at what? Climate science? Him and Glenn Beck. (and for the record, Gore is only arguably and “expert” as well. Darn it, I guess we’ll need to talk to those wonky scientists using all those big words.)

Can Gore give his prize back when there’s a heat wave next summer? Of course, then he’ll need to give it back next winter when there’s a snowstorm… but then summer will be back and…

The level of ignorance that pervades this country is alarming.

But you’ll excuse me. I have REAL WORK to do.

I would like to see both of them in a Claymation battle…maybe on an iceberg. I really think Donald has some major hair issues but might have the edge and Al definitely needs a good patent attorney in his corner this time.

“During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet” Gore said when asked to cite accomplishments that separate him from another Democratic presidential hopeful, former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey, during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN on March 9, 1999.

Then Donald can take on Rosie…

It doesn’t take a genius to spot an idiot.

Trump is 100% correct. Al Gore used global warming to misguide the world. He should be stripped of his nobel prize, and the scientist (whose research caused all this) should be sentenced jail as he is responsible for thousands of man hours wasted on dealing with global warming related policies, etc.
