The report was created by a the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a panel of 91 scientists from 40 countries. Trump explained,
“It was given to me. And I want to look at who drew it. You know, which group drew it. I can give you reports that are fabulous, and I can give you reports that aren’t so good. But I will be looking at it, absolutely.”
Trump has referred to climate change as a “Chinese hoax” and claimed that windmills cause cancer. He also withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement, an international coalition of nations seeking to combat climate change.
The US Department of Defense has called climate change a national security threat.
