In June, Hawking had a <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/stephen-hawking-trump-2452539680.html" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none;">few choice words </a>about the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris agreement, warning that "we are close to the tipping point where <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change/" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none;">global warming</a> becomes irreversible." And in November, Hawking once again pushed Trump to stop <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/hawking-trump-science-2513514825.html" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none;">denying climate change</a> and take action. Hawking nearly gave up on Earth altogether, telling WIRED UK that "our Earth is becoming too small for us, global population is increasing at an alarming rate and we are in danger of self-destructing."
14. David AttenboroughIn an <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/av/science-environment-40473838/stephen-hawking-at-75" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">interview</a> Sunday with the BBC, the celebrated British theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking warned that President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement will cause "avoidable environmental damage.""We are close to the tipping point where global warming becomes irreversible," said Hawking, who is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. "Trump’s action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of 250 degrees and raining sulphuric acid."Trump's decision to abandon the landmark agreement, which was signed by nearly 200 nations to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, puts the accord in jeopardy, as the U.S. is the world's second biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, after China.<div data-beacon="{" p="p" mnid="mnid" citation="citation" data-beacon-parsed="true" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Hawking, regarded by many as one of the greatest physicists since Einstein, has slammed Trump in the past, calling him "a demagogue who seems to appeal to the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/stephen-hawking-trump_us_574cf2cae4b055bb11729103" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">lowest common denominator</a>."

And when it comes to contributions from oilfield workers, Trump's reception from them has been notably muted.“As of last week, Republican nominee Donald Trump raised a paltry $245,000 from individuals working in the oil and gas industry, according to figures provided by the nonpartisan <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/select-industries.php?ind=E01" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Center for Responsive Politics</a>,” NPR's State Impact <a href="https://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2016/09/20/why-the-oil-and-gas-industry-is-not-giving-to-trump/" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">recently reported</a>. (By contrast, Mitt Romney raised <a href="https://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2016/09/20/why-the-oil-and-gas-industry-is-not-giving-to-trump/" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">$5.9 million</a> from the oil and gas industry in 2012.)In Pittsburgh, Trump arrived for his speech late, then kept the executives, who included top officials at major oil and gas companies, waiting as conference organizers informed the crowd that Trump was pausing to spend another several minutes giving an interview, rather than speaking to the hundreds of businesspeople and journalists there to hear him speak.But once he arrived on stage, Trump tried hard to make his own support for the fossil fuel industry quite clear.“Producing more American energy is a central part of my plan to make America wealthy again, especially for the poorest Americans,” he said. “I knew I'd have to make that statement in order to get you guys a little bit enlivened. Oh well, you'll like the rest of what I've got to say even more.”Trump also used a significant portion of his time at the podium to comment on <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2016/09/22/racial-economic-divide-underpins-charlotte-protests.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">protests</a> over the police killings of black Americans, and it was those remarks that drew the most attention from the national media. He decried recent protests in Charlotte, North Carolina, which were sparked by the police killing of Keith Lamont Scott, father of seven, who neighbors say was waiting for his son to arrive on a school bus.Even <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/09/22/state-of-emergency-in-charlotte-after-man-shot-during-second-night-of-protests/?utm_term=.ae5507c2a65a" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">before</a> the police released video of that death, whose circumstances they've disputed, Trump had made up his mind about who he was behind. “The men and women in blue need your support,” Trump told the crowd. “They need your thanks and they need your gratitude.”He seemed to suggest that Black Lives Matter protests were fueled not by anger over the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings/" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">police killings</a> of <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/07/11/arent-more-white-people-than-black-people-killed-by-police-yes-but-no/?utm_term=.d3eb16ece829" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">black Americans</a>, but by drugs. “And if you're not aware, drugs are a very, very big factor in what you're watching on television at night,” Trump told the crowd.Clinton supporters quickly seized on Trump's remarks, especially his comments disparaging the protests over police violence.“Today, in a room full of oil executives, Trump blamed the Charlotte protests on 'drugs' and insinuated that his administration would have no 'compassion' when it comes to criminal justice,” Brad Woodhouse, president of Correct The Record, which <a href="http://correctrecord.org/about-us/" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">describes</a> itself as “a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC,” said in a <a href="http://correctrecord.org/ctr-statement-on-donald-trumps-speech-at-the-shale-insight-conference/" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">statement</a>. “Despite weeks of so-called outreach to communities of color, Trump today showed us who he really stands with: wealthy fossil fuel special interests.”To be sure, Trump was in Pittsburgh primarily to discuss another conflict — the fight over the fate of the fossil fuel industry.“It's war,” Trump said. “And you people know it's war.”The <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/2016/09/21/nations-embrace-paris-agreement-world-s-existing-fossil-fuels-set-exceed-its-goals" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">stakes are indeed high</a>. Climate scientists warn that if the world's remaining oil, gas, and coal are burned, the climate consequences would be extraordinarily catastrophic.In an <a href="http://time.com/4502561/donald-trump-stephen-hawking-climate-change/" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">open letter</a> this week, 375 members of the National Academy of Scientists, including <a href="https://thinkprogress.org/the-media-is-ignoring-the-most-important-part-of-stephen-hawkings-comments-on-trump-d97a5fdbf55#.a14t1xw0t" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Steven Hawking</a>, issued a grave warning. “It is of great concern that the Republican nominee for President has advocated U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Accord,” the scientists wrote. “The consequences of opting out of the global community would be severe and long-lasting — for our planet's climate and for the international credibility of the United States.”Trump made it clear that if he was elected, his administration would go further, repealing several measures aimed at curbing climate change. “We will eliminate the highly invasive 'waters of the U.S.' [Clean Water Act] rule and scrap the $5 trillion Obama-Clinton climate action plan and the Clean Power Plan,” he told the crowd.Then he left the room to a standing ovation.</div><div>

Bernie Sanders</a>’ comments saying that climate change is more dangerous to the U.S. than ISIS, Hawking’s comments show the true enemy is ourselves.= 
Monday, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking gave his first Australian speech at Sydney’s Opera House <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-04-27/hawking-says-humanity-will-not-survive-unless-it-escapes-earth/6425162" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">via hologram from his office at the University of Cambridge</a>. And he did not have an overly positive message for the continent down under.“We must continue to go into space for the future of humanity,” he said. “I don’t think we will survive another 1,000 years without escaping beyond our fragile planet.”“I want to share my excitement and enthusiasm about this quest, so remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet,” he continued.After his planned remarks, one audience member <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/stephen-hawking-has-message-zayn-maliks-one-direction-fans-n348821" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">asked about the cosmological effect </a>of Zayn Malik leaving boy band One Direction, proving that humanity really is buying time that it solidly does not deserve.“Finally, a question about something important,” he responded. “My advice to any heartbroken young girl is to pay attention to the study of theoretical physics because one day, there may well be proof of multiple universes… It would not be beyond the realms of possibility that somewhere outside of our own universe lies another, different universe. And, in that universe, Zayn is still in One Direction.” Perhaps the final nail in the coffin of humanity comes in the form of the media coverage of this event. A very small handful of articles led with Hawking’s warning that we are not long for this Earth. An <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/04/zayn-malik-stephen-hawking" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">avalanche</a> of <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2015/apr/27/stephen-hawking-tells-fans-zayn-malik-could-still-be-in-a-parallel-one-direction" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">stories</a>, however, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/32474450/physics-means-zayn-malik-could-still-be-in-one-direction-says-stephen-hawking" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">celebrated</a> <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2015/4/26/8500179/stephen-hawking-zayn-malik-alternate-universe" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none;">that</a> the physicist had finally weighed in on Malik’s decision to leave the boy band.==
