With a global warming-fueled monster hurricane bearing down on Florida this week, the president and Republican senators mocked the new landmark U.N. climate report — which warns that failure to curb carbon pollution means ever worsening extreme weather events just like Hurricane Michael.
GOP leaders and the Trump Administration are all dismissing the comprehensive new report, which warns that climate inaction will lead to catastrophic consequences sooner than we imagined. Tragically, Trump’s brazen, nonsensical statements on climate appear to have emboldened Republican senators to make equally extreme and nonsensical statements.
On Tuesday afternoon, as Hurricane Michael was starting to intensify into a storm just shy of Category 5, Presidential Donald Trump told reporters that the much-heralded report was not more credible than reports that say the climate is “fabulous.”
When asked “Have you read the U.N. report this week warning about climate change, requiring drastic action?” Trump offered a characteristically bizarre reply:
