NY Times Is Unaware of the Distinction Between Weather and Climate

The New York Times apparently doesn't understand the difference between weather and climate.
Eager to criticize President Trump in its news pages last week, the paper of record smugly noted, "It's Cold Outside. Cue the Trump Global Warming Tweet."
"With unusually frigid weather gripping much of the Eastern United States this week, President Trump took to Twitter on Thursday to cast doubt on the reality of climate change, but he appeared unaware of the distinction between weather and climate," the Times wrote.
Leave it to the experts at the Times, who think it's possible for scientists to predict the earth's temperature 100 years from now, to lecture us about the difference between weather and climate.
And these are serious matters, given that we should all be dead by now from global warming. And certainly not something we should joke about.
