'What happened to global warming?' Trump taunts as a major winter storm hits 40 US states
US President Donald Trump addressed climate change concerns as a massive winter storm threatened two-thirds of the country.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain – WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???"
Trump, a long-time climate change skeptic, has previously called global warming a "hoax" and dismissed scientists’ warnings as politically motivated.
During his first term, he withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement in 2020 and repeated the move at the start of his second term in 2025.
The Republican leader continues to favor fossil fuels over clean energy initiatives, promoting his "drill, baby, drill" slogan to support increased petroleum and gas extraction.
The approaching winter storm threatens catastrophic damage, widespread power outages, and extremely cold temperatures across the eastern two-thirds of the US.
More than 1,500 flights within, into, or out of the country were delayed or canceled on Friday, including at major airports in Dallas, Atlanta, and Oklahoma.
Approximately 160 million people were under winter storm or cold weather watches or warnings, with many areas experiencing both.
