FACT FOCUS: Trump distorts recent revisions of scientific projections of global warming

President Donald Trump blasted the accuracy of scientists’ global warming projections in a social media post that itself painted a distorted view of the science, projections and policy of climate change. As part of updating massive scientific reports on climate change, scientists present a buffet of scenarios showing the extent and impacts of future warming possibilities, based on how much coal, oil and gas the world burns. The latest batch of scenarios were updated and they jettisoned the worst case warming scenario, which Trump used to call scientists wrong. It’s more complicated, because the wind and solar power boom changed energy use and pollution scenarios.
