President Donald Trump mocked global warming Friday morning as the U.S. is set to encounter a far-reaching “major winter storm” affecting more than 170 million Americans.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the country has rarely seen a winter storm like the one expected to begin Friday as he pushed climate change skepticism that has been frequent throughout his two presidencies, saying: “Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING?”
The National Weather Service said the storm could cover areas ranging from the southern Rocky Mountains to New England, bringing widespread heavy snow or freezing rain and the potential for “catastrophic impacts.”
