Thanks to your victory, The New York Times, on the day before your inauguration, has made climate change its top story on the front page of its print edition. Take a look:

Here's the lead two paragraphs:

Marking another milestone for a changing planet, scientists reported on Wednesday that the Earth reached its highest temperature on record in 2016, trouncing a record set only a year earlier, which beat one set in 2014. It is the first time in the modern era of global warming data that temperatures have blown past the previous record three years in a row. The findings come two days before the inauguration of an American President who has called global warming a Chinese plot and vowed to roll back his predecessor's efforts to cut emissions of heat trapping gases.

They even add more information supportive of statements made by climate scientists, with little or no attention paid to presenting "the other side" of the "controversy."

In reality, the Earth is heating up, a point long beyond serious scientific dispute, but one becoming more evident as the records keep falling. Temperatures are heading toward levels that many experts believe will pose a profound threat to both the natural world and to human civilization. [...] “A single warm year is something of a curiosity,” said Deke Arndt, chief of global climate monitoring for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “It’s really the trend, and the fact that we’re punching at the ceiling every year now, that is the real indicator that we’re undergoing big changes.” [...] For example, many experts on sea level believe that a rise of 15 or 20 feet has already become inevitable, though they cannot say how fast it will happen. A rise that large would drown most of the world’s coastal cities without heroic efforts to fortify them.

Amazing. Their top story actually states that "In reality, the Earth is heating up, a point long beyond serious scientific dispute ..." Long beyond scientific dispute! On the front page of the NY effing Times of all places. The paper that still gives op-ed space to a prominent climate denier.

I can't imagine what the Times editorial staff would have decided to run with as their top story today if tomorrow was to be Hillary Clinton's inauguration day. One can only speculate, but I doubt the Times, which usually buries these stories in the back pages of its print version of the paper or intentionally ignores them completely, would have made the top story on its front page one regarding the existential threat posed by anthropogenic climate disruption, if Ms. Clinton was about to move into the White House.

And by existential threat, I mean man-made changes to our climate with deadly and irreversible consequences by 2017, a threat about which the International Energy Agency warned the world in 2011, six years ago. I suspect that the Times would have consigned this story to its usual position in the graveyard that is the back pages of the paper, if Hillary Clinton, with her record of advocating for fracking as Secretary of State, and her receipt of millions of dollars to her campaign from Big Oil (more than Trump received), and "donations" to her family's private foundation from oil companies and foreign states that are major oil and gas producers, was going to take the oath of office tomorrow as our 45th President.

So, thank you Donald Trump. It seems your victory has made the deadly threat climate change front page news again, at least as far as the American media is concerned.
