THE SOUTH—In a move that has stunned scientists and political observers alike, President Donald Trump, one day after his inauguration, signed an executive order effectively “canceling” global warming. This action coincides with an unprecedented weather phenomenon where snow is falling across several southern states, a sight not commonly witnessed in these regions.

Trump, known for his skepticism towards climate change, made the announcement during a brief press conference at the White House. “We’ve ended the global warming nonsense,” he declared, surrounded by supporters and a backdrop of American flags. “Look at the snow outside; it’s clear evidence that the climate is just fine.”

The executive order, titled “Global Warming is Canceled,” targets the undoing of key climate policies established by previous administrations, including the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement.

“Global warming is hereby canceled.” Trump said. Shortly after the signing, it began to snow in South Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

The correlation between the executive action and the sudden snowfall has led to a mixture of reactions. Meteorologists have been quick to point out that weather patterns, particularly short-term events like snowfalls, are not direct indicators of climate change, except of course when it fits their narrative. “Weather is what you see outside your window, climate is the trend over decades,” explained Dr. Maria Sanchez, a climatologist at NOAA. “A few days of snow in the South do not negate the overwhelming evidence and data we have on global warming. But when it’s really hot in the summer, you better believe that’s climate change.”

Esteemed climate expert Greta Thunberg responded by screaming “How dare you!” from Leonardo DiCaprio’s private jet.

On social media, reactions are mixed, with some users humorously attributing the snow to Trump’s policy. Posts on X have shown images of snow in places like Texas, New Orleans, and Atlanta, with comments ranging from sarcastic to genuinely concerned about the implications of such a policy shift.

Environmental groups have condemned the action. “This is not only scientifically baseless but also dangerously misleading,” said Sarah Hu, director of Climate Action Now. “Climate change is a long-term trend, not something that can be ‘canceled’ by a stroke of a pen. It takes billions of dollars and centralized control by a few sociopaths in government to stop climate change.”

The economic implications are also under scrutiny. While some industries may benefit from deregulation, experts warn that ignoring climate change could lead to significant costs due to natural disasters, health issues, and international repercussions. “The U.S. is part of a global community,” noted economist Dr. Helen Liu. “Pulling out of climate agreements could damage our international relations and economy in the long run.”

As snow continues to fall across the South, the immediate impact of Trump’s policy will be debated, but the long-term effects on climate policy, science funding, and international cooperation remain to be seen. Critics argue that this move could set back years of progress in addressing one of the most pressing issues of our time.
