Yet another controversial statement from the American President.

Last weekend, Donald Trump caused quite a stir when he claimed that there was no correlation between climate change and California's deadliest wildfire. The fire left over 71 people dead, and resulted in the destruction of over 1,000 homes and buildings. President Trump was asked whether the tragic incidents changed his mind on climate change, to which he replied: "No. I have a strong opinion. I want great climate." https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1063907138270109697 Trump has always had controversial opinions when it comes to climate change and global warming, and his most recent tweet is extremely strong evidence of this. In the late hours of Thursday morning, Trump tweeted: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1065400254151954432 The tweet has garnered an extremely negative reaction since it was posted, with damn near everyone on Twitter pointing out to Trump that global warming and climate change are entirely different things.
