Washington, DC – US President Donald Trump sparked a new wave of controversy with a sarcastic remark targeting climate activists. This came amidst a cold snap and snowstorms hitting several regions of the United States.
In a comment posted on social media, Trump addressed environmental advocates, saying, “Where’s global warming now? Looks like winter’s back in a big way!” He added, in his characteristically sarcastic style, that climate change reports are exaggerated. He asserted that “the weather proves some scientists are overestimating their estimates.”
Trump’s statement came as northern US states experienced unusually low temperatures. Transportation was disrupted, and thousands of flights were canceled due to the snowstorm. This drew widespread criticism from climate experts who warned against conflating short-term weather events with long-term global warming.
Analysts believe this statement is part of Trump’s ongoing strategy to target controversial environmental and political issues. At the same time, he is attempting to portray himself as superior to “politicians and environmental activists” while climate risks escalate for the United States and the world.
