Trump Points Out 'Nobody Really Knows' Climate Change Is Real

Scientists around the world have all agreed that people have to fight against climate change. Despite its worldwide acceptance, President-elect Donald Trump refused to believe evidence proving the point.

The Washington Post noted that Donald Trump said in an interview that he is still "studying" whether or not the United States should withdraw from the Paris Agreement, because "nobody really knows" how much of a threat climate change is. In an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Donald Trump discussed his "very open-minded" views on whether or not climate change is real, but that he is concerned whether or not President Barack Obama's efforts to cut carbon emissions have undercut the nation's competitiveness on a global scale.

Donald Trump shared, "Look, I'm somebody that gets it, and nobody really knows. It's not something that's so hard and fast. I do know this: Other countries are eating our lunch."

Contrary to Donald Trump's beliefs, there had been a broad scientific consensus that said human activities have been the "dominant cause" of the warming trend of the planet -- the top 10 hottest years ever recorded all happened after 1998, and 2016 has been the hottest since the formal record-keeping began way back in 1880.

Local and subnational leaders around the united states, including business and civil societies, have pushed to support global climate actions, thanks to their own initiatives. Unfortunately, the risk of inaction is expected in the age of Donald Trump, as pointed by Reuters.

The United States under the Donald Trump administration could be the embodiment of being a "climate laggard" a term coined for those that refused to acknowledge the reality of climate change and its impact on the environment.

Instead of leaving it all to a climate change skeptic, commitments of mayors and governments remain strong: As of November 2016, over 100 U.S. cities and towns have already reported to the carbon n climate registry, which represents all global reporting entities -- and out of 100 cities, almost 40 percent already have energy and climate targets all the way to 2050.

Still, concrete climate action is needed to continue in the U.S. cities, countries and states. However, there are some people, as Donald Trump does, that this is all a hoax.
