Whatever you conceive of the military personnel , it ’s fair to say that Donald Trump is a busy individual . Whether he ’s siding with Russia over US intelligence authority , or whether he ’s hammering by at Twitter , there ’s a set on his home . He notably has n’t thrownshade at sciencelately , though , but thanks to anotherobsequious interviewwith Fox News ’ Sean Hannity , that ’s all now ( regrettably ) deepen .
Hot off the cad of his notorious Helsinki summit , he judge to explain what he thought the most significant scourge to the macrocosm was at the present moment .
“ To me , the most important issue is the atomic issue , ” he began . “ I have sex President Obama said global warming is our biggest problem and I would say that no , it ’s nuclear heating is our biggest job by a factor of about … ” He pauses to cogitate for a moment . “ … five million . ”
Nuclear thawing . Five million . That ’s some hardcore science right on there .
That figure has about as much meaning as “ covfefe ” . It ’s not readable what “ nuclear thawing ” is either , but then again , we ca n’t all be very static geniuses . In any case , an revelatory atomic winter would be thevery oppositeof a warming effect .
This especially weird comment seems to hearken back to one that Trump made during his pre - election campaigning days . While at a stop in Indiana in May 2015 , hesaid : “ I believe global warming is the undivided biggest problem in our country , but it ’s made of the nuclear kind . ”
When it comes to saying imbecilic stuff about mood skill , POTUS has mainly left that to his federal acolytes , include the omnishambolicRick Perryand the now - ex-husband - head of the Environmental Protection Agency , Scott Pruitt : Scandal Collector .
Sure , it ’s comely to say that nuclear warfare is a clear and present danger to the reality . The metaphoricalDoomsday Clock , after all , has recently jell the watch at two minutes to midnight . This means that – mainly due to nuclear proliferation and * cough * irregular atomic powers – key experts think the world is roughly as close to a catastrophe as it was in 1953 , when the Cold War really got going .
You could , however , for sure reason that anthropogenic clime alteration – which ranges from an worriment to an experiential crisis – is thenumber one dangerfacing our planet right now . Or , perhaps , you could evoke we stand most to mislay because the man in the White House seems to know nothing about anything , including introductory scientific information .
