Shitstain Has Made 492 False Or Misleading Claims About The Environment Since 1/17

EDIT

Trump’s claim: The United States has the cleanest air and water in the world.

A recent example: “Who’s got the world’s cleanest and safest air and water? AMERICA!” the president tweeted in September.
Number of times repeated: At least 24.
What’s really going on: According to one independent arbiter, this claim isn’t just misleading, it’s downright wrong. The United States ranks 10th for air quality and 29th for water and sanitation, according to the Environmental Performance Index. But let’s give credit where credit is due: The index, which is a project by Yale and Columbia universities, gave the United States the top rank for drinking-water quality.

Trump’s claim: The Green New Deal would cost $100 trillion and prevent people from flying.

Number of times repeated: At least 22.
A recent example: “Now, under the Green New Deal that all goes away, that all goes away,” Trump said during a rally in New Mexico in September. “No more cows, no more airplanes, no more trips. A single car, make it electric, single car, you’re not allowed to travel more than 162 miles. They’ll call us the hermit nation, we’ll never leave our house. Now it’s crazy, but that’s OK.”
What’s really going on: The Green New Deal, introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) last year, is a nonbinding resolution that would not have force of law if passed. Rather, it is a call for a major restructuring of the economy to drastically cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and expand access to health care and high-quality jobs. Not included is any demand for a ban on flying or eating beef. Neither does it come with a cost estimate. A conservative think tank, American Action Forum, estimated it would cost $93 trillion, but that figure includes programs that are not in the resolution.
