Trump Tweets That East Coast's Weather Disproves Global Warming

RadioOnFire.com - President Donald Trump has made headlines again, this time by denying climate change with a tweet from his Mar-a-Lago abode on Thursday. Harkening back to Sen. Jim Inhofe's of Oklahoma throwing a snowball onto the Senate floor in mid-debate, the president tweeted the following:

“In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against,” he wrote. “Bundle up!”

The National Weather Service called for highs of 22 and lows of 10 degrees in New York on the day of the tweet. These pale in comparison to records for New York City. 100 years ago, in 1917 New York reached its record low of 1 degree while in 1962 the thermostat rose only to 11 degrees.

This position from the president, who is a long time denier, has now aligned the country's policy toward climate change along similar lines. In June of this year, he said he would withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Accord where 195 countries agreed to reduce carbon emissions at the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Trump's tweet along with Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt's position has elicited a tweet in response from the UN quoting Secretary General António Guterres, "Climate change is undeniable. Climate action is unstoppable."
