The president may believe that this cold snap bolsters his conviction that global warming is fake.
Many are viewing it as a rebuttal to Trump's tweet the evening before asking what happened to global warming amid life-threatening cold.
And - oops! - researchers expect that climate change could even contribute to brutal snowstorms like the one Trump tweeted about. The notion that winter storms or cold weather in this country somehow disproves global warming has been a myth that Trump has been pushing for many years. What the hell is going on with Global Warming?
Parts of Minnesota and North Dakota saw temperatures well below minus 30 this week, and nearby states even logged multiple weather-related deaths, USA Today reported Thursday.
The two adorable kids addressed the President and gave a dumbed-down explanation of climate change.in under two minutes.
The study from the Brookings Institution, which is based on assessments from the Climate Impact Lab, finds that "many of the jurisdictions that have selected political leaders opposed to climate policy are the most exposed to the harms of climate change".
How Russia's effort to sabotage Mueller's investigation backfired
The Kremlin denies it meddled in the elections and President Trump has called the inquiry a political witch hunt. Prosecutors say they do not oppose allowing Concord's corporate officers to see the evidence.

Donald Trump says Nancy Pelosi is 'playing games' with wall funding
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) arrives to sign legislation during an enrollment ceremony before sending it to U.S. Calling himself hopeful, Shelby said, "I think if we're going to get a deal, we'll get it probably in the next 10 days".
The concern with climate change is that human activities such as fossil fuel-burning are putting so-called greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to an extent that heat that typically escapes is held in place, causing temperatures to rise globally over the long term.
Cillizza: Take a step back and put the whole cold weather thing behind us.
Twitter users were quick to school Trump on his latest tweet. "Wind chill temperatures are expected to reach minus 50 in Chicago and minus 50 in Minneapolis".
"What people are starting to ask is, if you weaken the jet stream, does that mean we are going to have more, stronger excursions of the polar vortex?". Dr Russell says thinks low altitude warming in the Arctic could be re-directing that fence. He also continues to claim that the phrase "global warming" doesn't work anymore because scientists don't want to admit that the planet isn't actually warming, despite reliable organizations such as NASA providing plenty of charts and proof that the globe is, in fact, warming.
Roger A. Pielke Sr., senior research scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, said the polar-vortex phenomenon isn't new.
Of course, celebrities were just a few to comment on Trump's eye-rolling tweet.
