What Are Donald Trump’s Views on Climate Change? Some Clues Emerge.
NY Times ^ | May 20, 2016 | ERICA GOODE

He has called global warming a “hoax,” for example, and claimed that the Chinese fabricated climate change (just a joke, he later said). And in an interview this week with Reuters, he said that he was “not a big fan” of the Paris climate accord, and that “at a minimum I will be renegotiating those agreements.”

But more clues about Mr. Trump’s views on environmental issues emerged this week from a four-page briefing on energy policy prepared for the presumptive Republican nominee by Representative Kevin Cramer, Republican of North Dakota and an early supporter of Mr. Trump.

Mr. Cramer, who defines himself as a climate change skeptic, discussed in his briefing paper a variety of government regulations that Mr. Trump might do away with if he were president.

CLimate Change= Man Made Global Warming. Climate change is more palatable. By the way, what is the ideal temperature of the Erf?

Donald Trump was pretty blunt when he said Global Warming is bullshit.

I think they really shot themselves in the foot transitioning from Global Warming to Climate Change. Climate Change is a given, it’s inherent in basic concepts that everyone understands like “Ice Age”. Global Warming is a specific artificial type of climate change that sounds a lot more scary, but also a lot more related to human activity.

Anybody would as dumb as a hammer to deny climate change is real....obviously the climate changes...

The question is: how much do humans affect climate change ?

Probably very very little...how do you even measure such a thing?

The second question is: if we followed the fearmongers to the every edge of their insanity and destroyed our way of life, would that have any impact on climate change?

If we can’t forecast the local weather accurately for 10 days, we should destroy our way of life for a prediction out a 100 years...

I heard that Trump called man made global warming a scam. Scam, hoax, bulls#*ts, are all technically correct descriptions. Trump knows how to hit the nail on the head.

Climate change is real.

Proof ? Where the Giza Pyramids sit was not always a desert.

Man made Global Warming ?

True, yes. But 1 volcano can cause more ‘warming’ than 200 years of man made warming.

Since there are dozens of active volcanoes at any given time, it should be obvious that The ‘controls’ built into MOTHER NATURE can deal with any attempts to get things ‘off balance’.

Agreed, the climate has been changing since we showed up on this planet and it will keep changing, regardless of what we do.

Excellent points.

Thank you...

When facing the global warming zombies, I alway ask that question...

"How much do humans affect climate change and how do you even measure such a thing?"

Blank stare...

I agree with them that the climate does change, the actual concern is how much we humans impact the climate.. .01 %, 1 %, 5 %, 10 % ...

Give me a number since the science is settled!!!

Normally, they tell me CO2 is the real problem...we pollute too much CO2...

So how exactly does CO2 which is .04 % of the atmospheres affect the planet and change the climate...?

Blank stare ...

His views on climate change are very clear. If we have a nuclear explosion especially by terrorists the climate will change. If we don’t the climate will be perfect.

Exactly. Trump has the right priorities.

If lefties really believed in global warming to the point of ending the planet as they proclaim, we would have a million nuclear reactors across the US right now.

I fully believe in climate change. I believe it changes, it is cyclical and normal. Only fools and con men perpetrate this man made crap.
