Trump Embarrasses US Over Knowledge of Climate Change

Trump has yet again embarrassed America over his lack of knowledge, particularly relating to global warming and severely damaging climate change. This time over a tweet regarding what is now being called a 'dangerous, emergency-scale' extreme weather situation that will batter parts of the US and almost all of Canada.

An extremely dangerous 'freeze', a significant drop in temperatures across northern America and all of Canada is considered life-threatening at times. With historically low record temperatures of as cold as -40° F/C in parts of Canada's territories.

However, of course, Trump simply couldn't help himself. He attacked changes in climate by referencing changes in temperature, both fully unrelated. An arctic wave simply cannot be compared to global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, pollution as well as dangerous flooding and natural disasters.

In the case of global warming, many forms of natural and human issues contribute directly into the damaging change in climate. The climate change, of course that will eventually change the temperatures by a few degrees, it isn't the focus of why global warming is such a dangerous and big factor of our future on the planet.

A change in climate can force the poles' surfaces, specifically in the Arctic, to melt away. The glaciers, icebergs will melt and fill into the oceans. Sea waters will continue to rise as numerous species of Arctic animals will start to die. Want one in particular? Polar bears, already considered an endangered species, are slowly dying after being broken away from their homes in the Arctic.

In fact, within recent years, many sightings of Polar bears have extended throughout a number of Canadian provinces including in Quebec, Newfoundland and even as far south as parts of Ontario. These poor animals are also dying due to a lack of other foods to eat; a trend part of the animal food chains.

With a dying animal population, humans will eventually struggle to eat properly. Now if you really think of it, the almost entirely life-long Democrat Donald Trump probably secretly believes in climate change and global warming but simply won't admit it seeing as his bid for a Republican/Conservative presidency surrounds majorly on support from the coal industry and many Americans who have faith in fossil fuels.

In a recent tweet, President Trump stated that 'many Americans' could 'sure use' the alleged global warming temperatures right now, in direct reference to the great freeze that has resulted in life threatening wind and freezing temperatures.

The thing is that a few waves of arctic temperatures definitely won't re-freeze the glaciers, won't remove global pollution amounts, and won't re-populate endangered species across the planet's colder regions.

Scientists called out President Trump's weather tweet as 'irresponsible' and a clear-cut attempt to discredit the scientifically-proven climate change that can eventually destroy and wreck many parts of our planet. It comes after Trump's war on science after he pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement in a June-announced decision.

As of December 2017, America is the only country walking into 2018 while not being a member of the Paris climate accord out of every single country in the world. It includes Syria, which just recently joined after it came to light that they hadn't been a part of it.

American allies like Canada, France and the United Kingdom as well as other major global nations like China, India and many others drew harsh criticism of the US decision to withdraw from the accord, calling it irresponsible. Analysis concluded by numerous scientists and economic experts found that Trump's withdrawal, which will eventually be met with America's re-entrance to the accord, will eventually cost the American economy trillions more dollars to fix their slack during his administration.
