Top 10 crazy Donald Trump moments.

Global warming concerns seemed to have escalated with the unusual weather patterns and anomalies occurring on the earth's surface in the past years. However, such reason for concern is not being acknowledged by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, claiming that climate change is a hoax invented by China.

Trump has long been known to be a non-believer of climate change. Even to a point that he branded the earthly phenomenon as a " "very expensive ... b*llsh*t," and the  such concept was primarily created by China in order to make US manufacturing industry non-competitive, according to The Guardian.

With the strong remarks of Trump regarding the obvious and highly scientific-based climate change concept, China has rejected the accusation of the businessman turned politician saying that the upcoming POTUS should have "smart decision" over United States' commitment on fighting Global Warming.

China's vice foreign minister, Liu Zhenmin, further reasoned that the history of climate change negotiation was actually US initiated under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), with the backing of the Republicans in the late 1980s during Reagan and senior Bush administration.

Now, apart from denying the existence of climate change, equating it as a hoax made-up by China, the US president-elect has also been reported to be seeking the quickest way to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.

According to Reuters, an anonymous source who is part of Trump's transition team for international energy and climate policy, told the news agency that Trump has already been thinking of the fastest way to exit from the climate deal. And that Trump's advisers are already considering some ways to bypass a theoretical four-year procedure.

"It was reckless for the Paris agreement to enter into force before the election," the anonymous source told Reuters.

With just few weeks before Donald Trump will take an oath and office by January 20, 2017, there is no telling where the U.S would be heading in terms of their stand on Global Warming and greenhouse emission.
