US President Donald Trump claimed that United Nations (UN) predictions regarding climate change have been incorrect. In a statement, he referenced predictions made by the UN in 1982 and 1989, asserting that they forecasted catastrophic consequences from climate change by the year 2000 and the disappearance of whole nations within a decade, respectively. Trump stated, "Not happening," and characterized climate change as "the greatest con job ever," asserting that all UN predictions were wrong.
Trump expressed confidence in his own predictive abilities, stating, "I am really good at predicting things," and mentioned a hat with the phrase, "Trump was right about everything." He concluded by reiterating his belief that he has been correct on all matters.
This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about climate change and its potential impacts, as well as Trump"s previous criticisms of the UN. For more on Trump"s views regarding the UN, see recent developments and related coverage.
