The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan said that 'trees produce oxygen during the night' and got trolled on the internet. This was during an event related to a scholarship drive which assists students from families with low income where Pakistan PM made the comment that green cover has decreased by 70 per cent in the last ten years, therefore, the consequences of climate change had to happen.

Even in middle school books, the process of photosynthesis is fully explained. It is a natural process by which plants convert the 'light energy' into 'chemical energy'. So, the plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during the day because sunlight is required for the entire process. While Pakistan PM became the victim of trolls, yet again for confusing the science, netizens did not forget to point it out. Some of the Twitter users posted extracts from their children's books, while others also said that 'maybe Pakistan's trees work differently'.
