United States election is fast approaching. Presidential bets are continuously hitting the social media debates. However, scientists have a different opinion on a certain candidate. They bravely warn the public that Republican standard bearer Donald Trump is a threat to the planet since he does not believe in climate change.
Reports regarding Donald Trump describing climate change as "bullshit" and a hoax have reached the global warming scientists. Trump also stated that climate change was designed by China to ruin the US economy. But, later on, he said that the comments he stated were meant to be jokes.
Michael E. Mann, Professor of Atmospheric Science and Director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University wrote that "In just a matter of weeks, we will be confronted with a critical decision. It is not mere hyperbole to assert that we are facing a make-or-break election as far as climate change is concerned." He added that in 1992 the appropriate catch-phrase was "It's The Economy Stupid!" then this time around it ought to be "It's the PLANET stupid!" basing on the statement made by Donald Trump, according to Huffington Post.
Michael E. Mann and his team reported that to inhibit the climate change dangerous effects is a challenge. But, the progress they made in the past few years can be seen. Of those is the monumental international agreement in Paris last December. Global carbon has already declined and renewable energy rises.
Tom Tole a cartoonist from Washington Post, co-author of Michael Mann created a book. Inside you can see illustrations of Donald Trump saying "I have built a wall and you have to pay for it." Though Trump denied his claims the day after, Tole and Mann said it is too late.
Michael Mann added that "Donald Trump and his campaign still firmly reject the scientific evidence that climate change is human-caused, opposing the only action (a reduction of fossil fuel burning) that can save us from ever-more dangerous climate change impacts," according to EcoWatch.
In line with this, a group of scientists including Michael Mann encourage others to speak out. While Donald Trump denies the climate change, for the others climate change is happening and it can be seen.
