President Donald Trump cast doubt on a United Nations report that warned that we have just 12 years to curb climate change by suggesting the reports' authors weren't more credible than reports that say the environment is "fabulous."
The UN report, which is based on more than 6,000 scientific references from 91 authors across 40 countries, outlines the impacts of global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Trump, who has previously called climate change a "hoax", was speaking on the White House lawn on Tuesday when he said the report "was given to me."
"And I want to look at who drew it. You know, which group drew it."
Without specifying which reports he was talking about, he signaled that other were as valid as the UN's: "I can give you reports that are fabulous and I can give you reports that aren't so good."

Busy little beavers.
But not one truthful one.
But, if it is true, be ready to invest in a Greenland farm.
Fiction writing pays well.
“more than 6,000 scientific references from 91 authors
Busy little beavers.”
And what is their solution? Funny how no one has ever asked them that question.
So, each author on average wrote 60 references.
I guess that’s consensus. /s
Dang. We have 12 more years to turn it around? I thought that bridge had come and gone already.
Yeah, that is just 91 actual references, repeated often. Since when did that constitute a consensus?
Trump is correct. The environment, all of them across the globe, are FABULOUS.
We have the best climate! We’re going to make the climate great again!
Ever ask yourself why it is called Greenland?
Of course.
Yeah, that is just 91 actual references, repeated often.
Actually, 63 times each, on average.
Amazing how that makes it “credible”.
