Donald trump commented on the cold, coming in almost all States, and asked: where is the notorious global warming?
«Terrible cold, which breaking ALL RECORDS. So where is this global warming?» — wrote the President on Twitter from Florida, where he spent a holiday weekend.
The American leader never misses an opportunity to ironiziruet about global warming. Scientists of his skepticism, of course, do not share.
So, on the website of the National oceanic and atmospheric administration (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association) says that weather is what you feel outside, and that is changing rapidly. For example, snow in seconds can go in the rain. The climate is the same — this is something that persists for a long time.
«Donald trump is not the man whose statements should be taken seriously. This applies to any theme, not to mention as important as climate change,» said HuffPost the scientist-climatologist from the University of Pennsylvania, Michael Mann.
Bill McKibben, environmental scientist from Middlebury College (VT) in response to a tweet, trump has released the Global climatological map, noting that the average temperature on the Earth is 1.2°C higher than in pre-industrial times.
