Trump Mocks Global Warming Fears As Massive Winter Storm And Record Cold Wave Grip Nearly Two-Thirds Of The Un

US President Donald Trump has once again mocked concerns about global warming as a severe winter storm is expected to affect a large part of the country.

As forecasts warned of extreme cold across nearly two-thirds of the United States, Trump took to social media to question the idea of climate change.

Posting on Truth Social, Trump pointed to the expected cold wave across 40 states and asked what happened to global warming. His remarks came as weather agencies warned of freezing temperatures and dangerous conditions in many regions.

Trump's Stand on Climate Change

Donald Trump has long been critical of climate change warnings. He has repeatedly called global warming a "hoax" and accused scientists of pushing a political agenda. During his presidency, Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement twice - first during his earlier term and again at the start of his second term in 2025.

The Republican leader has also openly supported fossil fuels and rolled back clean energy policies. His popular slogan, "drill, baby, drill," reflects his push for increased oil and gas production as a way to boost the economy and strengthen energy independence.
Severe Winter Storm Disrupts Daily Life

Meanwhile, a powerful winter storm is moving across the eastern two-thirds of the United States, bringing with it bitter cold, heavy snowfall, and the risk of major damage. Authorities have warned that the storm could lead to widespread power outages and dangerous travel conditions.

Air travel has already been hit hard. More than 1,500 flights within the US, as well as those flying in and out of the country, were delayed or cancelled on Friday. Airports in cities such as Dallas, Atlanta, and Oklahoma reported major disruptions, according to flight tracking data.

Weather alerts have been issued for around 160 million people, many of whom are under winter storm and cold weather warnings at the same time. Officials have urged residents to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and prepare for extended periods of extreme cold.
