The frigid weather has President Trump tweeting on a hot topic. On Thursday, Trump ridiculed the need to spend "trillions of dollars" on global warming.

In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 29, 2017

But reality V star Vinny Guadagnino of "Jersey Shore" warmed to the challenge, responding to the President.

I think climate change is more complex than global warming will make it hotter. It has to do with disruptions of atmospheric conditions,ocean patterns, jet streams and shit like that — Vinny Guadagnino (@VINNYGUADAGNINO) December 29, 2017

Guadagnino wasn't the only one. Trump's tweet received nearly 200,000 likes and over 130,000 responses, initiating another conversation on global warming.

VINNY FROM JERSEY SHORE IS HAVING TO EXPLAIN CLIMATE CHANGE TO OUR PRESIDENT. WE ARE 100% LIVING IN A SIMULATION. https://t.co/HYbqJSFjTq — han (@hannahkimberlee) December 29, 2017

Ok, it's not everyday when Trump gets corrected by the Weather Channel and a "Jersey Shore" cast member... pic.twitter.com/prUWRRGDgK — Jeff Mayers (@TimeLordJeff) December 29, 2017

But to be honest, what should we expect from someone who has claimed that "global warming was created by and for the Chinese"?https://t.co/NVRacbCJ8U — Simon Hedlin (@simonhedlin) December 29, 2017

Dear @realDonaldTrump, It is 45 degrees in Aspen, Co and no snow.

Definition of global warming is volatility https://t.co/HnezPzLOIX — Stephanie Ruhle (@SRuhle) December 29, 2017

A government report released in November says since 1900, the Earth has warmed by 1.8 degrees and seas have risen by 8 inches. In the report scientists concluded global warming is already sickening, injuring and killing Americans with changes to weather, food, air, water and diseases. And it's expected to get worse, hurting the economy, wildlife and energy supply.

Despite these and similar findings from government reports produced since 1990, the President has remained skeptical about global warming. Although this is Trump's first time tweeting with the words "warming" or "climate" since being sworn into office in January, he has tweeted on this topic before.

We should be focusing on beautiful, clean air & not on wasteful & very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit! China & others are hurting our air — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2013

The entire country is FREEZING - we desperately need a heavy dose of global warming, and fast! Ice caps size reaches all time high. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 17, 2014
