Global warming is nearly irreversible, according to Cambridge professor and world-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking, who spoke to BBC News about climate change and President Donald Trump this past weekend.

“We are close to the tipping point where global warming becomes irreversible. Trump’s action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees, and raining sulphuric acid,” he said.

He said that by pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement to reduce CO2 emissions, Trump is causing “avoidable environmental damage to our beautiful planet, endangering the natural world, for us and for our children.”

“Climate change is one of the great dangers we face and it’s one we can prevent if we act now,” he said.

He went on to say that environmental issues are just intensifying human conflict, adding that he thinks people may have a limited number of days left on earth.

But hey, he is only the smartest man on the planet. What the fuck does he know, right?

1. Trump should take the video of him wrestling McMahon to the ground and cover McMahons face ...

... with the word Hawking. Then tweet that new video.

Ha, that’d prove Trump knows more than Hawking.

2. The smartest person is always the one who tells you what you already know.

Yes, what he says is undeniably correct, but not because he has any special authority in that field. Ask him something about black holes and I guarantee you'll get a reliable answer.

3. No worries, though..

Jesus will come and fix everything.
