BBC Reporter Calls BS on Trump's Demand for Nobel Prize in Scathing Fact-Check
"Yeah, that's right Sophie, this was the startling claim made by President Trump today, part of his message that immigration is destroying European countries, including the UK. We know that for the best part of a decade, Trump has attacked Sir Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London. But this appears to be the first time the president has claimed that London wants to go to Sharia law."
"Yeah, he did, Sophie. The thing is that decades of specialist research really torpedoes that argument. The vast majority of scientists and experts say that climate change caused by humans is real. And here's a quote. This is from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, made up of hundreds of leading scientists. Human activities, principally through emissions of greenhouse gasses, have unequivocally caused global warming."
President Donald Trump delivered a nearly hour-long United Nations address plagued by technical issues and featuring repeated lobbying for a Nobel Peace Prize. The address advanced claims that immigration is destroying European countries and that London wants to adopt Sharia law. UK officials and the mayor of London’s office labeled the Sharia claim false, appalling, and bigoted; a government minister publicly rejected it. The address also included climate-change denial, with the president calling climate change "the greatest con job ever"; scientific bodies such as the IPCC state that human activities have unequivocally caused global warming. Media fact-checkers rebutted multiple claims.
