During a characteristically rambling speech from Trump Tower in New York City on Thursday, former president Donald Trump made the mind-meltingly dumb assertion that we should be more worried about "nuclear warming" than actual global warming.
He told a room full of reporters. "What happened to the environment? They don't mention it. They don't mention that the ocean's going to rise a quarter of an inch of the next 500 years... what they should start mentioning is nuclear warming."
At the time, Trump also argued that melting glaciers would create "more oceanfront property," an equally harebrained argument that has no grounding in reality whatsoever.
Given his comments during a December interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, there's a chance he's referring to the threat of a nuclear war with Russia - which has little to do with the climate crisis.
