Trump Tweet About Global Warming – Not Accurate

Earlier today President Trump tweeted the following:

This tweet flies in the face of evidence. The following image shows the global temperature today. Yes, the northeastern United States and eastern Canada is a lot colder than average.

It’s important to remember that the issue is Global Warming over the entire planet, over a long trend. It’s not northeastern United States warming (or cooling) in a given week.
