Donald Trump and Some of His Bizarre Tirades About Climate Change

Twenty-two times each day. That is Donald Trump's average lies ever since he rose to presidency. In fact, he lies so fast that CNN fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale said that his fingers could not keep up with the rapid succession of the now-impeached president's misleading nonsense.

Unfortunately, his talk about climate change is no exception. Most of his rallies disregard the issue. Amidst the rising global average temperatures and sea levels, and frequent climate disasters, there is someone like Donald Trump, who still think climate change is a hoax.

This is something that we cannot ignore. Trump -- even if it is ridiculous as it sounds -- is a powerful person. And according to a study, most of his supporters deny climate change.

Below are some of his ridiculous nature-related claims that will make you frown and probably march down to the Senate hall to pressure the senators to speed up their decision of throwing him out of the White House.

1. When he thought we could use global warming to heat up the cold New Year

In a state he tweeted a few days before 2017 ended, he made a ridiculous claim that maybe global warming can be used to ease the intense coldness of New Year. It looks like he confused weather with climate. While these two are related, climate is the average weather on a certain period of time, normally about 30 years.

What Trump needs to know is the severe weather is a by-product of climate change. According to a study, the changes of the climate in the Arctic region has changed the atmospheric circulation and it pushed the cold wind to the region where North America lies.

And it is also a lie that only US funds the climate change. According to 2015 Paris Agreement (he has withdrawn from it, by the way), 43 countries have pledged to contribute to the global fund.

2. When he accused the scientists of having political agenda

Following the disaster of Hurricane Michael in 2018, this orange man said that the opinion of "pro-climate change" must also be presented to the public. While a debate must work that way, it cannot be applied on a scientific consensus. Think about that this way: a doctor that claims the malignant tumor in your breast should not be removed because it is healthy. Ridiculous, right?

To say that the IPCC report compiled by 91 scientists from more than 6,000 researchers conducted on about 40 countries is "politically motivated"... that's just a different level of conspiracy theory that the fictional aliens who built the Pyramids of Giza are no match.

3. When he said "windmills" produce toxic fumes

Trump's expertise on Science was once again proven few hours before Christmas this year when he claimed wind turbines (which he mistakenly called windmills) are producing toxic fumes. But actually, the mechanism of turbines is rather simple: the strong wind will move the blades to generate friction that becomes electricity.

This is the second time he made some ridiculous opinion regarding this fumeless technology. Earlier this year, he said that its noise can cause cancer. There is no scientific consensus that supports that up to date.

But hey, at least he got something right: many birds die because of turbines. According to Wildlife Society, the technology kills at least half a million yearly.

Trump said a lot more lies (he probably has added a few more while this article is being written), and compiling everything will probably take forever.
