Science Writer Points out What We're All Thinking About Climate Change Experts

What’s going on?

It’s not just you – this winter has been unusually frigid. The low temperatures are making some climate change experts nervous because they kind of contradict the whole idea that the planet is warming.

How cold are we talking?

This winter has been so cold that in some cases, it’s turned deadly. The Associated Press has reported at least 12 deaths from the extreme cold. Some Georgia residents recently saw icicles for the first time, and Florida State University closed its Tallahassee campus because of the severe cold threat.

What’s the connection to climate change?

Australian science writer Joanne Nova recently wrote a tongue-in-cheek article pointing out that to climate change advocates, “this extreme cold is just weather, but all heat waves are climate change.” Why do global warming experts point to every heat wave as evidence while trying to ignore unusually cold winters that don’t fit their argument?

“Why don't you ever say [it’s just weather] about a heat wave?” Pat asked on today’s show while filling in for Glenn. He compared it to last year when people tried to say Hurricanes Harvey and Irma were evidence of climate change, ignoring the previous hurricane-free 12 years.

PAT: You know, we were just talking about the cold that has gripped about 90 percent of the country. In fact, 90 percent on New Year's Day -- 90 percent of the nation didn't get to the freezing level, didn't get to 32. That is crazy.

JEFFY: That sure is.

PAT: That, of course, that means global warming to the global warming scientists. An Australian science writer has just -- she wrote this article and she noticed what I think many of us have noticed for years now. She said, for the radical climate crowd, extreme cold is just weather. But all heat we've seen are climate change. Isn't that the truth?

JEFFY: Yeah.

PAT: While heat waves and extreme weather events are routinely pointed to as indications of global warming trends, the coldest weather in over a century that we're having right now, eh, that's the natural variability of the weather cycle. Yeah, things change. Of course, it's going to get cold sometimes. That's what we tell you about the heat. Why don't you ever say that about a heat wave?

Well, yeah, that happens. It always happens. We've always had heat waves. It's why some of the records we have are from 1932. But every single -- like you mentioned, we used to be told all the time, oh, don't confuse weather with climate. Because you can't do that. So any weather-related event like a storm or a heat wave, that's just one day or a couple of day cycle thing. But climate is over a period of time.

Then all of a sudden every single heat wave that happened, see. Science. It's global warming. Every hurricane that happened. See, that's global warming.

JEFFY: There it is. There it is.

PAT: Then they fell silent during the 12 years of no hurricanes hitting the US mainland.

And then all of a sudden, a few do. And, of course, that's global warming.

Just unreal.

Expert Reveals the TERRIFYING Reality of Mexico Under Cartels

Is Mexico a “failed narco state” controlled by cartels? Glenn speaks with Brandon Darby, co-founder of Breitbart’s Border and Cartel Chronicles, who works with sources in Mexico to expose the truth on the ground. He tells Glenn just how bad the situation is, how entrenched the cartels are (they control over HALF of Mexico’s territory), and whether Trump has a chance of eliminating them. But instead of sending in special forces, Darby has another idea that could keep Mexico from looking like “a smaller version of Ukraine and Russia.”

Meet the ACTIVIST Judges Blocking Trump’s Agenda

There is a judicial coup happening against President Trump, Glenn argues. Glenn exposes the activist Obama and Biden-era judges who are conducting a full-scale, coordinated assault against the mandate that the American people gave Trump. There’s Judge James Boasberg, who tried to stop Trump from deporting illegal immigrant criminals. Then, there’s Judge Ana Reyes, who halted Trump’s trans ban in the military (and who also has a long history of donating to Democrats). Also fighting Trump are judges Theodore Chang and Amir Ali, who are trying to reverse Trump’s dismantling of USAID. This isn’t normal “checks and balances.” This is left-wing judges using lawfare to play president and fight the dismantling of the deep state.

How Sage Steele Overcame Fear and Beat Disney

Former ESPN host Sage Steele joins Glenn to tell the incredible story of how she overcame fear, fought Disney for canceling her, and won: “It’s all God.” When she put her trust in Him, she says, her fear went away. “It was smarter to stay quiet...But, God, it feels good to be true to myself.”

Is the EU Plotting to “SABOTAGE” Trump? Heritage Foundation President Sounds Warning

Are European Union elites working to “sabotage” President Trump’s plans for the West? Glenn speaks with Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, who makes the case that Trump is trying to reset the West and stop the “managed decline” of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. But many European leaders are so embedded into that old system that they won’t go down without a fight. Glenn and Kevin also discuss Trump’s negotiations with Mexico and Canada, whether former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss was right to call Britain a “failed state,” and why Kevin believes Trump’s cabinet, JD Vance, and one other thing are Trump’s biggest wins.
