US President Donald Trump mocked global warming fears as forecasts warned of a severe winter storm across much of America. He posted the comment on Truth Social. He questioned climate science as cold weather prepared to strike nearly 40 states.
Trump wrote that a “record cold wave” would hit the country. He asked what happened to global warming. The remark drew swift criticism from climate advocates and scientists.
Trump has long rejected climate change science. He has called it a hoax and a political agenda. During his first term, he withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement. He repeated the move after returning to office in 2025.
The Republican leader continues to promote fossil fuels. He supports expanded drilling under his “drill, baby, drill” slogan. He has also rolled back clean energy policies.
Meanwhile, a powerful winter storm moved toward the eastern two-thirds of the country. The system threatened heavy snow, ice, and extreme cold. Power outages remained a major concern.
Flight disruptions spread across the nation. More than 1,500 flights were delayed or canceled on Friday. Airports in Dallas, Atlanta, and Oklahoma faced major disruptions.
Weather alerts covered about 160 million people. Many regions faced both storm and cold warnings.
