March 21, 2022, 09:06 PM EDTFormer President Donald Trump obviously didn’t learn about climate change since he worked in the Oval Office. The observation he made in a Fox Business the second interview was “you have a thing called weather.”
Trump promoted his “weather” theory when host Stuart Varney asked him if “human activity” – such as burning fossil fuels – is to blame for climate change. late or not.
“In my opinion, you have a thing called weather,” Trump replied. “And you go up and you go down.”
He added: “If you look at the 1920s, they were talking about a global freeze. YES? In other words, the earth will freeze. And then they warm up globally, and then they can’t use it because the temperature is actually pretty cool, and various things… the climate is always changing. ”
…
There was no claim of a “global freeze” in the 1920s, as Trump claimed, although some scientists have hypothesized, in mostly discredited findings, that the world temperature decreased from 1945 to 1972. In any case, any natural tendency towards another ice age is interrupted by The “big effect” of burning fossil fuels is increasingscientists have noted.
…
One notable thing missing from the Huff Post tirade is any background research into what Trump actually said. Because there is evidence of an unusual temperature excursion in the 1920s.
Here are the words The Washington Post, 1922;
President Trump may have misunderstood the direction of the 1920s Arctic heat excursion, but Trump’s claim is correct, about having evidence of climate change happening before we can have an effect. significant benefit.
I hope the Huff Post reporter is just an incompetent researcher and has overlooked evidence of a significant Arctic heat excursion in the 1920s. Because it would be really sad if the Huff reporter Post Mary Papenfuss discovered evidence of Arctic warming and glacier retreat in the early 1920s, and decided not to disclose it to readers, for fear of providing readers with evidence that the President Trump has a point.
