When asked if he believed in man-made global warming, President Donald Trump gave an answer that’s already sent media fact-checkers wild.
“There is a cooling and there’s a heating,” Trump said in an interview with Piers Morgan on Sunday. “I mean, look, it used to not be climate change, it used to be global warming. That wasn’t working too well because it was getting too cold all over the place.”
“The ice caps were going to melt, there were going to be gone by now, but now they’re setting records, OK?” Trump told Morgan in his first international TV interview. “They’re at a record level.”
“I’ll tell you what I believe in. I believe in clean air. I believe in crystal-clear, beautiful water. I believe in just having good cleanliness in all,” Trump said. – READ MORE
[give_form id=”79809″] [divider][/divider]President Trump took to Twitter Thursday to note the record-breaking cold weather currently slamming much of the eastern U.S., saying the country could use some “global warming” during the cold snap.
“In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record,” Trump tweeted. “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. Bundle up!”
