Donald Trump denies climate change--but fears it could hurt his golf course
CBS News ^ | May 23, 2016 | By Rebecca Shabad

Donald Trump has said he doesn't believe in man-made climate change and has called global warming a "hoax," but he's trying to protect a golf course he owns on the coast of Ireland from its effects.

The presumptive GOP nominee applied for a permit to build a seawall next to Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Ireland in County Clare to prevent erosion, according to Politico.

His application included an environmental impact statement that explicitly mentions "global warming and its effects." According to Politico's report, that statement says that rising sea levels in that region could accelerate erosion.

The statement cited a study by the Irish government predicting a steady rate of erosion through 2050, but the statement says that the study failed to take climate change into consideration.

And we all know there was never any sea shore erosion in the entire history of the world until Man made Climate Change became an industry.

These journalists are liberal. And I’ve heard that young people who study journalism in college, tend to have the lowest grades and SAT scores.

In short, the best and brightest don’t go into journalism.

But they are liberal. I’ve seen surveys showing that up to 90% of professional journalists vote Democrat in elections.

So no, these journalists don’t know when they are embarrassing themselves, or being parodies of themselves. They don’t have enough common sense or self awareness to realize when they have jumped the shark.

Ooh, a cornucopia article! Something for everyone - Reassurance to sane people that he doesn’t believe in man made climate change and proof that he does (probably wrote the environmental impact report between campaign appearances.)

A Trump win-win!

Fortunately, the vast bulk of the “journalists”, as Obama’s press aide put it, are stupid, and easily led especially when they are pathetically trying to push their own ideology. As a consequence, they will write the dumbest hit piece articles that don’t stand up in the light of day; hence this garbage and the NY Times nonsense about Trump wanting to see an attractive young woman in a swimsuit.

Truly. A seawall is an admittance that mankind is destroying the universe.

“but he’s trying to protect a golf course he owns on the coast of Ireland from its effects.”

Way to just assume s*hit, CBS.

Donald Trump never mentioned “global warming”...

“Climate Change” itself, has been in existence since the planet was created...

The erosion of beaches is a natural occurrence that has been going on since the oceans were created...

This report is as much liberal, Goreian BS as any other “Man-made global warming” BS ...

Just like Clinton and Obama can't say “radical Islamic Terrorism” or use the word “Illegal” when referring to so called Immigrants, the use of the word “Man made” in regards to Globull Warming / Climate Change is purposely edited when they paint their enemies as heathen Deniers.

All you need is to be haughty, and write with a snarky tone, like the Daily Show has taught a generation of these idiots how to.

So, when the city of Galveston built their seawall, back in 1902 to protect them from the ravages of the hurricane that destroyed their town, it was due to AGW? Remind me again, how many SUV’s did those Texans have?

It’s been warming for the last 12,000 years. A new glacial period would be “change”, not the status quo trend of warming. In fact, high co2 levels foreshadow new ice ages according to the climate alarmists’ own charts, if I’m not mistaken, so get ready.

Yep, the Daily Show.

It’s distressing to me, how many young people watch that show as if it’s a real news show. It’s frustrating how many people get their news and world view from the snarky one liners of shows like that.
