Trump is helping Fox News spread fake news about climate change science:
"President Donald Trump escalated his denial of global warming Tuesday, when he took to Twitter to quote a noted climate skeptic who claims that climate change is 'fake science.' Trump cited the comments of Patrick Moore on Fox News' 'Fox & Friends' program, which identified him as the co-founder of the activist group Greenpeace."
"Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace: 'The whole climate crisis is not only Fake News, it’s Fake Science. There is no climate crisis, there’s weather and climate all around the world, and in fact carbon dioxide is the main building block of all life.' @foxandfriends Wow!"
"According to Greenpeace, however, Moore is not a co-founder but rather 'a paid spokesman for a variety of polluting industries for more than 30 years.' Moore, who is not a climate scientist but who has degrees in forest biology and ecology, played a significant role in Greenpeace Canada for several years early in the organization's existence, according to Greenpeace's website, but he did not help found it."
