The Weather Channel responded to a tweet from Donald Trump on global warming by highlighting the difference between climate and weather.
The account on Friday linked to an article accusing the Trump administration of ignoring science and said that 2017 was likely to be one of the three warmest years on record.
"There is a difference between #weather and #climate," the channel tweeted, adding that "Short-term #cold snaps will continue to occur in a warming climate."
"2017 will likely be a top three warmest year on record for the globe," the tweet concluded.
