When Joe Biden dubbed Donald Trump a “Climate Arsonist,” it put a laser focus on damage caused by the president’s denial of reality. While millions of acres up and down the US west coast burn to the ground, Trump was busy smirking to himself and saying, “I don’t think science knows.”
Science does know, actually. And so do plenty of twitter users. The hashtags #ClimateArsonist and #ScienceKnows are burning up Twitter.
Watch:
Trump earns his ‘Climate Arsonist’ title.

Daylight has disappeared from towns on the US West Coast, but the president does not seem to notice.

Stupidity aside, how terrible is this guy that he can joke and chuckle in the face of widespread destruction and death? Parents have lost children in the inferno and all Trump wants to do is troll Californian officials. #ClimateArsonist

Joe Biden is not laughing about the loss of life. He doesn’t think that burned towns and flaming forests are something to chuckle about or gloss over.

I have been talking about this for years! It’s sad that it has taken California being on fire & a massive & destructive hurricane season to make people wake up! If we don’t start reversing climate change now, none of us will survive! We only have one planet! There is no PLANetB pic.twitter.com/Xco5POXKew

Trump can throw around “Sleepy Biden” but the president has a new nickname that Twitter loves.
@JoeBiden throws some serious #ClimateChange heat at #Trump, rightfully calls him a #ClimateArsonist for his refusal to accept BASIC SCIENCE. I hope everyone will retweet this with "Trump is a #ClimateArsonist so we can TREND THIS…ready set GO. #Demcast #DemcastFlorida pic.twitter.com/nXXqyNxBgv

And Kamala Harris knows what the Climate Arsonist would do with four more years. She and Gavin Newsom live in the middle of it.

Trump thinks “it’ll start getting cooler.” But the president does not have much of a track record predicting the future.
In fire-ravaged CA, @realDonaldTrump denied the effects of climate change, saying “It will start getting cooler, just you watch.”
Sound familiar?
“And I think we're going to be very good with the coronavirus. I think that at some point that's going to sort of just disappear.”— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) September 15, 2020
No, Donald. It will not “start getting cooler” on its own. And Covid-19 will not just disappear. This is what we call “magical thinking” and it doesn’t work. You can’t con science. You have to deal with hard data and facts.

“It’s going to disappear – one day, it’s just like a miracle, it’s gonna disappear….”- when you think it can’t get any better than that, he shouts out: “It’ll start getting cooler - you‘ll just watch”. How can any sane man still be in support of / vote for this lunatic man? pic.twitter.com/aFYCnst3uk

The president has no idea how to combat the wildfires and no interest in learning. The Climate Arsonist makes up facts — also known as “Lying” — and surrounds himself with other climate deniers.

Trump is threatening Americans’ safety w/ his refusal to listen to science and take action.

Trump just needs to look around. Or, you know, read. Institutions that usually stay out of politics call for the Climate Arsonist to be stopped. Like the publication Scientific American — where the name says it all.

Remember Trump thought coronavirus would stay in blue states? Now does the Climate Arsonist think the climate crisis won’t spread either?
Someb please tell @realdonaldtrump the Federal government owns half the land in #California and it’s his responsibility to maintain those forests. We lack the resources to manage the millions of acres ready to burn & It’s not just Blue states suffering from the #ClimateArsonist pic.twitter.com/wJFWpexbjU

If science won’t convince Trump, what about science fiction?

It’s hard to know what Trump will think of next. But while the Climate Arsonist makes up threats, science shows us what the real ones are.
Biden takes a swipe at "climate arsonist" Trump over climate change and the raging wildfires out west:
"You know what is actually threatening our suburbs? Wildfires are burning the suburbs in the west, floods are wiping out suburban neighborhoods in the midwest." pic.twitter.com/zI9MYFCzzX
