To the surprise of absolutely no one with critical faculties in working order.
Of course it was. Don’t need to be scientist to understand that
I’m a human with half a brain: everything Trump says is a fire hose of misinformation.
- I believed him when he said he'd ~~fuck~~ date his daughter.
I'm not a scientist, but I'm about sure everything this asshole said was wrong. I don't think Trump ever said anything truthful. Maybe that he wants to be a dictator.
- That's just inaccurate... Trump said a couple of earnest Truths! Like: "He's the president"... technically true. And also, "America is really a hot country now" though that slides in under He's only correct because of global warming... which he, uhh, denies... but still TECHNICALLY true.
  Now, everything else that leaks out of face-anus is lying bullshit... but still.
- Oh, he does say truthful things occasionally. Like "I don't stand by anything", "I love the poorly educated" or "I'm going to be a dictator on day one".
  
  His latest was, "smart people don't like me."
Trump’s ~~U.N. address is~~ a fire hose of misinformation
No one the misinformation would work on is watching UN climate speeches.
Do we still have to call it misinformation? Can't we just call it lies?

Are we not past the point where we need to fact-check if Trump said something truthful about climate change (or anything else for that matter)?
I don’t think you need to be a scientist to know anything that administration wants to be “facts” is in fact bullshit.
Environmental degradation is very real, the Earth is not bigger than the problems we cause. In a lot of ways I think focusing so much on climate change has forced issues like water and air pollution to take back stage. Everyone seems fine with destroying our environment while either paying lip service to climate change or denying it exists.
