Furious GMB star lashes out at Donald Trump after being branded 'stupid'

Good Morning Britain's weather presenter Laura Tobin has hit back at President Donald Trump after he claimed "climate change is a con" during his speech to the United Nations earlier this week. Taking to Instagram today to share a clip from Wednesday morning's Good Morning Britain, she fumed: "Trump addressed the UN & said 'climate change is a con' 'all predictions made by the UN are wrong' & 'made by stupid people'...

"Here the science from very clever people to show why the Earth is warming & why climate change is (unfortunately) not a con!" In the clip linked to her furious words, ITV host Richard Madeley asked Tobin: "What did you make of it when you lifted your jaw off the carpet?"

Tobin grinned and replied: "I mean I can't tell you the phone call I had with the office after I saw that clip. I want to reply with science, I think it's the best thing to do and I categorically say that if we look at predictions that we have seen over the last 50 years, what climate scientists were saying, what the UN was saying was going to happen, it exactly happened. So the UN are certainly not wrong."

The meteorologist then explained that the past decade has been the "hottest we have ever recorded" as she backed the science behind climate change. "Hotter weather and more heatwaves, it is undeniable," Tobin added.

In Trump's address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, he said climate change was "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world" and insisted countries should step away from the "green scam".

He stated: "It's the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion. Climate change, no matter what happens, you are involved in that. No more global warming, no more global cooling. All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong."

"They were made by stupid people who have cost their countries fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success. If you don't get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail."

Good Morning Britain airs on weekdays from 6am on ITV and ITVX.
