Trump Will Let the World Burn Down

People watch as the Bobcat Fire burns on hillsides behind homes in Arcadia, California on Sunday.

Trump wears his ignorance with pride.  At a briefing with California state officials about the historic and horrific wildfires that are burning out of control all along the West Coast, Trump displayed a grotesque level of ignorance.  
President Donald Trump still doesn’t appear to understand the difference between the weather and the climate, a fact frequently explained in elementary school classes. While speaking in California about the overwhelming wildfires up and down the West Coast, Trump dismissed that it was attributed to climate change.
“It’ll start getting cooler. You just watch,” said Trump about the weather.
“I wish science agreed with you,” said California Secretary for Natural Resources Wade Crowfoot.
 “I don’t think science knows, actually,” Trump claimed.
It will get colder in California this winter, but that isn't evidence that the world's climate scientists are wrong about global warming.
