During the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of thinking “climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese.” The real estate mogul denied ever making the statement.
Referencing a 2012 tweet from Trump, Clinton surrogates and environmental activists quickly unleashed a storm of ridicule, smugly asking whether Trump actually believes climate change was something dreamed up in Beijing.
On its face, the comment attributed to Trump certainly seems absurd. However, Clinton mischaracterized Trump’s position when she paraphrased his tweet during the debate. He actually wrote that “the concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”
Conspiracy theories abound in the world of climate politics. Developing countries frequently claim that the carbon agenda is a Western plot designed to prevent industrialization and trade competition.
Environmentalists argue that U.S. oil interests are working to undermine climate policy to avoid unwanted competition from wind and solar projects that generate fossil-fuel-less electricity. In reality, though, little oil is used to generate electricity in the United States....

Who was the guy that was a friend of Al Gore that worked for the UN and started the carbon credit bank before fleeing to Beijing to avoid prosecution for fraud and/or selling Iraqi oil?
Maybe Trump can coax an explanation from felony clinton of what a “normal climate” is. I’ve been waiting for this for years.
Maurice Strong?
Yes, what is Erf’s temperature SUPPOSED to be??? ;)
Yes, thank you.
Creators of carbon credit scheme cashing in on it
By Judi McLeod Tuesday, March 13, 2007
There’s an elephant in global warming’s living room that few in the mainstream media want to talk about: the creators of the carbon credit scheme are the ones cashing in on it.
The two cherub like choirboys singing loudest in the Holier Than Thou Global Warming Cathedral are Maurice Strong and Al Gore.
This duo has done more than anyone else to advance the alarmism of man-made global warming.
With little media monitoring, both Strong and Gore are cashing in on the lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.
Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, Wikipedia-described as “the world’s first and North America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.”
Gore buys his carbon off-sets from himself—the Generation Investment Management LLP, “an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C.” of which he is both chairman and founding partner.
To hear the saving-the-earth singsong of this dynamic duo, even the feather light petals of cherry blossoms in Washington leave a bigger carbon footprint.
It’s a strange global warming partnership that Strong and Gore have, but it’s one that’s working.
Strong is the silent partner, a man whose name often draws a blank in the Washington cocktail circuit. Even though a former Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the much hyped Rio Earth Summit) and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations in the days of a beleaguered Kofi Annan, the Canadian born Strong is little known in the Unites States.
That’s because he spends most of his time in China where he works to make the communist country the world’s next superpower. The nondescript Strong, nonetheless is big cheese in the world of climate change, and is one of the main architects of the coming-your-way-soon Kyoto Protocol.
The skeptics of man-made global warming believe that Gore and Strong have made climate change “the new religion”. Climate change is not the first religion both parties have tried to make stick. Along with former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev, Strong, currently president of the Earth Council, has been boasting of replacing the Ten Commandments with the Earth Charter, a golden rule guide for how the masses should treat the environment.
Gore, who has given sermons at the United Nations sponsored Cathedral of St. John the Divine Church in New York City, is a promoter of the religion known as Gaia.

Every single global climate scheme exempts China, so one might get the idea that China was influencing climate policy to favor China.
“Every single global climate scheme exempts China, so one might get the idea that China was influencing climate policy to favor China.”
Oh, and if he can find any evidence of China or Chinese companies donating to the Clinton Foundation, he can point to THAT as the influencing of climate policy that he’s talking about.
Is this true? Is it really that straightforward?
The Revolution is ON!
Vote Trump!
Yours is a variation of my discussion-stopper line...:
“What temperature would you like the Erf to be?”
If Trump were to repeat that, verbatim, at the next debate then it will utterly erase any benefit the Wicked Witch got from that issue from the 1st debate.
“Is this true? Is it really that straightforward?”
Copenhagen Paris, Kyoto all exempt China as a “developing country”.
The climate deal Kerry (who served in Viet Nam) cut a deal with China where we would cut our carbon emissions by two thirds by 2024 (I think not sure of exact details) while China graciously agreed to double theirs until ‘24, then start curtailing emissions.
There are many other examples.
I believe most of them also exempt India and several other “developing” countries.
