Trump Mocked for Tweet Asking ‘Whatever Happened to Global Warming?’: ‘Thankful We Aren’t All This Dim’

President Donald Trump tonight mockingly dismissed the idea of global warming in response to cold weather on the east coast.

Brutal and Extended Cold Blast could shatter ALL RECORDS – Whatever happened to Global Warming?

This comes just days after Trump dismissed the idea of climate change as a factor in the California wildfires, saying at one point that he wants “great climate.”

Some people responded to Trump’s tweet tonight by telling the President that’s not how this works:

Translation: “Can someone explain climate change to me? All I understand is hot air.” https://t.co/hWx4ufaANY

Using a regional, temporary cold front to claim global warming is fake is like sitting in a room where nobody currently has cancer and concluding that cancer isn't real. https://t.co/2FNP7PqRto

Oh, wow. It’s cold outside. In November. That must mean global warning is a hoax! I’m thankful we aren’t all this dim. https://t.co/KM1ND0v747

Trump denies climate change science, again.

Scientists should stop doing science to prove it's true. Just pay Trump businesses. He will back you then. He'll even let u murder someone. https://t.co/BCYteQc1Qh

I can't believe this needs to be said but: Cold weather for any short period of time is indicative of nothing.https://t.co/47CANPPkSg https://t.co/v5NDOSxnny

What happened is that it is worsening natural disasters that are killing Americans.

Climate change is real. It is a major threat to this country and to our children.

You really, really need to hire people who can explain the difference between weather and climate to you. https://t.co/8Agh3G5KZf

Had to check three times to make sure this wasn't one of those stupid parody accounts.

Nope, it's actually him. https://t.co/XdlO8Mlt9i
