President Trump used the freezing temperatures forecast for much of the country on Thanksgiving Day to throw cold water on fears about “Global Warming.”

“Brutal and Extended Cold Blast could shatter ALL RECORDS – Whatever happened to Global Warming?,” he wrote late Wednesday on Twitter from his resort in Florida where he’s spending the holiday weekend.

Trump has long been a skeptic about climate change, which a consensus of the scientific community embraces as fact.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association points out that weather is what you experience when you step outside and can quickly change – snow can turn to rain, for example.

But climate happens over a long period of time.

That’s why it’s typically cold in the North in the winter months and hot and humid in the South in the summer months, the agency explains on its website.

Climate change scientists took Trump to task for his claim.

“This demonstrates once again that Donald Trump is not an individual to be taken seriously on any topic, let alone matters as serious as climate change,” Michael Mann, a climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University, told HuffPost in an email. “He is a clown — a dangerous clown.”

Bill McKibben, an environmental scientist at Middlebury College, tweeted a graphic showing the world is actually getting warmer.

“I know you’re Mr. America-is-all-that-matters, but climate is actually a global phenomenon. Here’s today’s global weather map (oh, and red=hot.) As a whole, Earth is about 1.2 degrees above preindustrial temps today,” he wrote.

Touring the devastation from the wildfires in California, Trump dismissed the possibility that climate change could be a cause and instead blamed the blazes on the lack of forest management and suggested more raking could have prevented them.

“You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know, the floors of the forest, very important,” he said on Saturday. “I was with the president of Finland and he said, ‘We have a much different – we’re a forest nation.’ He called it a forest nation, and they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things.”

Finnish President Sauli Niinisto acknowledged talking forest management with Trump but not about the use of raking.
