Here’s 3 myths the US president believes...and our Global Weirding episode that tackles each one (thread). Other countries including China know the truth and will capitalize financially if we don’t come to our senses. It’s sixth-grade science! ... (thread)

Myth 1: climate change is a hoax and those scientists are always changing their minds.
Truth:

Myth 2: climate is weather, and one cold day or week disproves decades of warming
Truth:

Myth 3: carbon dioxide is plant food so the more the better, plants will love it and food will abound!
Truth:

Bonus myth 4: climate has always changed so what’s happening today is just more of the same
Truth:

Bonus myth 5: those scientists are just in it for the money, if they hadn’t manufactured the so-called climate crisis, they’d be sacking groceries for minimum wage
Truth:

(For the record I actually enjoy sacking groceries and I think I’m pretty good at it ... it’s like a 3D Tetris puzzle with more pieces and far less stressful than doing climate science)

And sorry for the double (thread) at the beginning ... that was a typo.
