Donald Trump's Own Climate Agency Just Fact-Checked Trump's 'Global Warming' Tweet in the Most Subtle Yet Savage Way

Ouch.

President Donald Trump tweeted Monday night that frigid temperatures in the Midwest were reason to distrust the scientific consensus on global warming.

Trump took the cold weather as evidence that climate change isn't a threat to the earth and humanity, mockingly imploring global "waming" to "please come back fast, we need you!"


But, as most Americans know, climate change and global warming haven't gone anywhere. In fact, officials from the Climate Division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) rebutted the same claim by the following morning.

NOAA is under jurisdiction of the Commerce Department, headed by Commerce Secretary and Trump appointee Wilbur L. Ross.

While NOAA's tweet didn't call out the President directly, many were led to believe they were trolling him.

While the President's own officials trolling him may seem comical, the tweet brought about some sobering thoughts.

For instance, the President's denial of expert opinions and overestimation of his own knowledge. This isn't a first either. Last year, multiple federal agencies compiled a report stressing the inevitable threat of unmitigated climate change. Trump's response to the report by his own officials? "I don't believe it."

He later said:

“One of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence, but we’re not necessarily such believers. You look at our air and our water, and it’s right now at a record clean. But when you look at China and you look at parts of Asia and when you look at South America, and when you look at many other places in this world, including Russia, including — just many other places — the air is incredibly dirty.”

Many feel that Trump has stood so adamantly against facts for so long that merely pointing out truth constitutes "throwing shade" at the President.

Hopefully, it won't take disaster for climate change deniers to come to terms with the truth.

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.
