No, New York Times, Trump Cannot Cause Bad Weather – ClimateRealism<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor\u2019s Note:\u00a0<\/em>The New York Times\u00a0article, \u201cUnder Trump, U.S. Adds Fuel to a Heating Planet<\/a>,\u201d claims that President Donald Trump\u2019s policies and actions will result in higher carbon dioxide emissions, causing more droughts, floods, hurricanes, and other extreme weather. <\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

While Trump\u2019s policies may result in increases of CO2 emissions, hundreds of\u00a0Climate Realism<\/a>\u00a0posts and dozens of\u00a0Climate at a Glance<\/a> articles have clearly demonstrated that emissions have not and are not changing the weather for the worse. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather has not become more extreme as emissions have increased. The NYT is making a connection that science in no way supports – specifically that President Donald Trump and his administration wield power over the atmosphere and climate. This is false.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent days his administration has slammed the door on every possible avenue of global cooperation on the environment. At the same time, it is sending the message that it wants the world to be awash in fossil fuels sold by America, no matter the consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under President Trump, the United States has become the only nation to renege on a pledge to try to keep warming to 1.5 degrees. Its actions will make the global fight harder, scientists said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmissions will be higher,\u201d warned Justin S. Mankin, an associate professor at Dartmouth College who researches climate variability. \u201cTrump\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions will cause Trump\u2019s heat waves, Trump\u2019s droughts, Trump\u2019s floods, and Trump\u2019s wildfires.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe science is clear that every action matters and every ton of carbon matters,\u201d said Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist and professor at Texas Tech. \u201cThere\u2019s a price to pay for every ton of carbon we produce, and that price is being added to our global debt.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
