Donald Trump proud of fundamentally misunderstanding climate change?

Independent 29th Jan 2019 , Donald Trump has again appeared to fundamentally misunderstand climate
change by suggesting extreme cold weather in the US is evidence global
warming does not exist. “In the beautiful Midwest, wind chill temperatures
are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded,” Mr Trump tweeted
late on Monday evening. “In coming days, expected to get even colder.
People can’t last outside even for minutes.

What the hell is going on with Global Waming (sic)? Please come back fast, we need you!” he added
sarcastically. Experts were quickly forced to correct the president online,
including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a
government research agency which simply tweeted the statement, “Winter
storms don’t prove global warming isn’t happening.” It follows a number of
recent tweets by the president expressing gleeful disregard for the
scientific consensus that holds human carbon emissions responsible for
recent global temperature increases.
