Ya gotta love it.
Writing from Pennsylvania, where outside my window sits 8-12 inches of snow, not to mention well below freezing temperatures with more snow coming in this direction, I scroll around and find no less than President Trump sharing my thought.
Here’s a sample headline from Forbes that appeared as the snow storm approached last week:
As 170 million Americans brace for major storm, Trump pushes global warming skepticism
The story reports:
President Donald Trump mocked global warming Friday morning as the U.S. is set to encounter a far-reaching 'major winter storm' affecting more than 170 million Americans.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the country has rarely seen a winter storm like the one expected to begin Friday as he pushed climate change skepticism that has been frequent throughout his two presidencies, saying: 'Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING?'
Bingo!
I would add to the President’s question by asking where all the media stories pushing global warming have gone. Instead, here’s but a small sample of the headlines actually out there:
From Fox 9 in Massachusetts:
Bomb cyclone threatens US after majority of nation hit by massive snowstorm
From the BBC:
Heavy snow and ice to impact millions as winter storm sweeps across US
From USA Today:
13 dead as winter storm strikes broad swath of US and extreme cold moves in
From The Guardian:
US gripped by severe winter storm with snow, ice and plunging temperatures – as it happened
On and on and on goes the seemingly endless flood of stories from the mainstream media about the approach or arrival of a torrential snow storm combined, of course, with severe cold.
And, quite notably, the mainstream media is pretty quiet about global warming. Where is it? Why in the world is there all this below freezing cold with all of that white stuff? The Associated Press reported on the snow....and AP's Seth Borenstein fact-check attacked Trump's mocking message. The scientists he found say Trump's all wrong.
But there is one story from The New York Times that deserves media attention. The headline:
America Officially Leaves the Paris Climate Agreement. For the Second Time.
The United States is the only country to pull out of the global agreement among nations to fight climate change. European diplomats say the U.S. reputation is suffering.
The Times reports, without a trace of irony, this:
As of Tuesday, the United States is no longer a party to the Paris agreement on climate change, becoming the only country in the world to abandon the international commitment to slow global warming.
In other words -- and there’s no secret here -- the liberal media, devoted as always to whatever is the current liberal media agenda, is flooded with the hard (cold!) fact that here we are at the end of January, 2026 and all that snow that’s sitting around huge swaths of the country in below freezing temps is not going away anytime soon.
In a situation like this the best thing for the liberal media is to…..just shut up on the subject of global warming. Don’t ask where it went to. Don’t dispute all that falling white stuff and freezing cold. And when President Trump observes the obvious:
“Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING?”
Just…keep…quiet about what millions of Americans can see and feel for themselves. No sense taking on Trump when he clearly has the upper hand!
And when it all goes away - as it will? When April showers bring May flowers? Then the media can hope that Americans will forget the whole thing and start running those global warming -is-killing-the-planet and the Trump administration needs to change its environmental policies stories.
But until then? As the snow flies and the temperature plummets, the best thing the liberal media can do on the subject of global warming is just stay quiet.
As quiet as a cold mouse.
And wait for those warm April showers for the liberal media to get back to their mantra that global warming is doing us all in.
