Washington: In the midst of a Midwest cold spell, US President Donald Trump is pleading for global warming to come back, but it never went away.

Just like the Arctic air invading parts of the US because of wandering pieces of the polar vortex, the earth's warmth appears a bit temporarily displaced.

But scientific reports issued by the Trump administration and outside climate scientists contradict Trump's suggestion that global warming can't exist if it's cold outside.

In a tweet on Monday night Trump said: "In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can't last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming [sic]? Please come back fast, we need you!"
