There were some who were quick to defend Trump, like in this Tweet...
lol is there really 2100 ppl that don't realize this chick is completely wrong? A record setting cold blast would indeed be considered CLIMATE bc your considering the weather over a great passage of time. — Tony Baggs ???? (@YngTonyJr) November 22, 2018
To which she was quick to defend herself and respond saying...
I believe what Mr. President wished to imply is that this Arctic cold blast contradicts the theory of "global" warming. I think, just because there will be an Arctic cold blast, it doesn't mean that global warming is not a thing. I may be wrong, but I'm just voicing my opinion. — Astha Sarmah (@thebuttcracker7) November 22, 2018
Her Tweet also earned her an offer an internship to study the effects of climate change on the Arabian Sea.
