I believe that Global Climate Change is real.
Scientists Consider “Quick Response” Plan to Counter Climate Misinformation
The effort comes as President Trump makes comments that deny climate science

President Trump has mocked and dismissed climate science. Now researchers seem increasingly inclined to correct the record.
NOAA, the federal agency that studies the Earth, tweeted what appeared to be a rebuttal to Trump’s assertion Monday night that cold weather disproves long-term warming on a planet that’s seen average global temperatures rise about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900.
“Not only are severe snowstorms possible in a warming climate, they may even be more likely,” NOAA officials wrote in a tweet that appeared to challenge the nation’s top executive.
Correcting misinformation on climate would potentially put the academies on a collision course with the political culture of Washington, where falsehoods on climate change are frequently shared. That’s an unusual role for an organization that has a long history of avoiding political mudslinging. The nonpartisan academies were created by President Lincoln during the Civil War, and they have provided scientific and technical guidance to lawmakers for more than a century and a half. It was chartered by Congress in 1863 to be an objective source of scientific advice, as advances in medicine were being deployed to treat wounded soldiers. Its work is considered a gold standard of scientific review.
