ng about the long-term climate implications, right?

At the same time we're all explaining that to each other. Haven't you seen, is it my imagination or do I explain this to people about five times a week and then people explain it back to me like I've never heard it? It's the damndest thing. Are you all experiencing the same thing? If you're having the same conversations are you experiencing the same thing where you'll say to somebody you know don't make a big thing about this weather whether it's hot or cold because that's just weather that's not the climate. And then two days later somebody will explain that same thing to you like you didn't just explain it to them. Like I'm having this weird situation.

So the president of course made things worse with his tweet about global whamming or warming I guess it was a typo in there. And he of course mocked the climate alarmists because it's unusually cold. And where's my climate stuff? Now here's the thing. We don't know what the president is thinking. Just in general you should always say you don't really know what people are thinking. We know what he did. We know that he sent a tweet that anybody who understands the topic would know was ridiculous, right? So it's ridiculous to say that the weather today tells you something about the climate. It is not ridiculous to use it in a persuasive humorous way which is how I interpreted it. That he was trying to persuade.

Because and here's the fun part, because the other side is making the same stupid argument. Correct me if I'm wrong but when we had all the forest fires in Northern California wasn't the news telling us that that was strong evidence of global warming? Right? When we had a lot of hurricanes, not this year but the year before, wasn't the news telling us that that was probably because of global warming? None of those things are true. Those are just things that might be a bad year for hurricanes but that's all you could really say about them.

So both sides are trying to have it both ways. Both sides of the climate debate are trying to claim the anecdotal stuff, things we're seeing today, are actually solid evidence of their point of view. It's not true either way. So we're explaining to each other that weather and climate aren't the same even though I think everybody understands that.

All right, let's talk about President Trump. I guess he tweeted some negative things about his intel heads and so he had some disagreement with Dan Coats in particular. I guess Dan Coats said something along the lines to Congress. He said it's unlikely that North Korea will ever give up their nukes. So Dan Coats, what's his job? Head of some top intel guy. I forget the exact title. Said it's unlikely that
