"What he's saying: "I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail," Trump told the room full of world leaders. "All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong. They were made by stupid people," he said. "The carbon footprint is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions, and they're heading down a path of total destruction," Trump said."
"Reality check: Global temperatures are rising due to human activity, with the biggest increases occurring in the past 40 years, research shows. The ocean is warming, the sea level is rising, and extreme weather events including extreme cold are happening more frequently. The big picture: The president's comments effectively disregarded the threats that climate change poses and contradicted the research published by U.S. government agencies. Coastal megacities such as New York City and Bangkok are at risk as sea level rise accelerates."
A leader asserted that green energy is a scam, UN climate predictions are wrong, and carbon footprints are hoaxes driven by malicious intent. Scientific research shows global temperatures are rising due to human activity, with the largest increases in the past 40 years. Oceans are warming, sea levels are rising, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. Those climate trends threaten coastal megacities and island nations and will disrupt global food systems through price spikes, limited availability, and reduced food safety. The United States moved to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and cut funding for UN climate activities.
