Climate Scientist reacts to Donald Trump's climate comments

Donald Trump is taking America out of the Paris Climate Agreement. But this isn't the first bizarre global warming action from the President. ClimateAdam takes a look at some of the most... remarkable climate change comments from Trump.

What classic climate comments from Trump have I missed??

And wanna know more about any of these issues? Then peep my back catalogue:

Climate Change denier logic:
99% of engineers say that the bridge is safe, I'll swim.

For what it's worth, though, the majority of the American people are at odds with Trump's position on this. The US Climate Alliance is made up of 24 states, representing over 50% of the US population and over 50% of the US economy, have affirmed the Paris agreement. So while the loud guy is officially pulling out, the majority of the population are still on board.

As to what I'm doing, I've set aside 1% of my income for climate-related things. So far, I donated more than I would have otherwise to teamtrees.org. I decided to do this because of your previous video on the costs of addressing climate change. Thanks for the nudge!

no one:
trump talking about the California wildfires: "don't worry, it will cool down there"
me in California: ummmm, yea its not cooling down 👁👄👁

If Americans vote that charlatan in for a second term, America is dead to me :-(

I a meterology student here in the united states, quick question, where could i find resources regarding the economic impact of doing nothing about climate change versus actually working on correcting it?

[JeremySmith-wclh]

Will the states still be able to keep accord with the agreement?

[gbeachy]

The costs twunt references at 5:50 we are actually paying now, during Covid, when he denied the

It's not surprising that someone who doesn't understand that 81M > 74M also has awful climate takes.

Must be really hard to watch Donald Trump talking about climate change, without getting a serius headache...




From all the facepalming...!

We are hoping he goes to jail soon. I despise Trump.

"The only country in the entire world not still in the Paris agreement" all of he countries in Central America, South America, Africa, the Middle East as well as China and Russia beg to disagree

The Paris Accord is not the only chance to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. People act as though the two things are mutually exclusive. The USA has done a great job reducing emissions more and more year over year over year for nearly a decade now without the hallowed “Paris Agreement”. So what’s the problem? We have reduced the highest volume of emissions in the world so I don’t understand the criticism.

Anyone with a conscience can agree that pollution is bad and we should do everything within our power to preserve our planet and every ecosystem and species on it. But I am sick of this endless parade of fictitious “environmental apocalypses” that never come to pass and are just replaced with a different disaster every 15 or so years.

When I was a little kid, I was raised to be terrified of global COOLING! All the headlines, news, and scientists in the 1970s were crying “the Ice Age is upon us!”
When that didn’t happen, suddenly the subject was switched to “Acid Rain”. Due to Mankind’s selfish behavior, rain was turning to acid and soon we would have no water to drink and we’d all be dead! I remember National Geographic publishing photos of entire forests all burned up and sizzling, proclaiming that within a few years every forest on earth would meet such a fate. And then, mysteriously, the topic was just dropped and acid rain was no longer a thing. Hmm, how peculiar.

Let’s see, what came next? Oh yes, “the hole in the ozone layer”. Scientists told us then that the hole (also caused by mankind’s selfishness, of course) was growing bigger and bigger all the time, was irreplaceable, and without it we would have no shield from the sun’s radiation and once again, we were all gonna DIE!! Are you sensing a pattern yet? Whatever happened to that nasty ozone hole- similarly to acid rain, it was just never really mentioned again. So I looked it up just now. Oh, what do you know- it started growing back. Oops, guess it wasn’t irreplaceable after all.

But wait- now selfish humans are killing the planet, this time via global warming!! And we’ve come full circle to the global cooling hysteria of the 1970s.

Maybe this helps you understand why people who have lived through multiple false alarms are skeptical of such a claim? Fool me once and all that. But in this case it’s fool me three times- why would I jump in for round 4? I’ve spent my whole life panicking about phantom environmental disasters that never pan out - which I’m grateful for, but I resent the lies.

My snippiness isn’t meant to be personal toward you, it’s just the general attitude of “look at those crazy anti-science climate deniers” coming mostly from very young people that have no clue that this is just the latest in many varied historical doomsday claims.

This simply means, trumps STUPID ! Simple !

As a Mathematician I'm not impressed. Too many scientists are completely incompetent when it comes to understanding the limitations of statistical methods, and far more have never been exposed to the philosophy of science.
When there's no balance in the narrative there's almost certainly something else going on that does not belong in the sciences.
Surely career academics fearing for their careers and having to beg for grants by carefully crafting very specific research proposals isn't going to lead to junk science though, right?
If you're a scientist with a spine today you will do anything in your power to dismantle the narrative, even if it is to prove it right. If you're just playing along with the farce you're a coward and opportunistic career academic, or at best a young naive fledgling.
