Trump Tweets About the Bitter Cold and Global Warming, Confusing Weather and Climate – The Weather Channel
Article Synopsis – President Trump tweeted Thursday that “we could use a little bit of that good old global warming” in response to the bitter cold hitting the East Coast this week, showing he is once again confusing weather with climate. NASA makes this distinction: “weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere ‘behaves’ over relatively long periods of time”. In fact, cold snaps in the East have been linked to global warming. The Trump administration has proven time and again that it ignores science, including the recently released, Congressionally-mandated National Climate Assessment, which found “no convincing alternative explanation” for climate change over the past 100 years other than “human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases.” To read the actual article click here.
