Federal agency after Trump tweet: Winter storms don't disprove climate change [View all]

A federal agency tweeted Tuesday that winter storms don’t disprove climate change, hours after President Trump seemed to imply the opposite in a tweet.
“Winter storms don't prove that global warming isn't happening,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tweeted from its main climate change-related account, which is associated with its Climate.gov website.
The tweet had a cartoon-like drawing and linked to a 2015 post on NOAA’s website explaining that even with climate change, certain locations will continue to experience “winters that are unusually cold and snowy.”
Monday night, Trump tweeted about the extreme, historic cold blast coming into the Midwest and other parts of the nation.
