He’s right the media are as dishonest as they come. If someone were to ask the following questions it might clear up the hysteria.

1. Is the earth getting warmer? Probably
2. Is the earth getting colder? Don’t think so
3. If yes to the above is it man made? Absolutely not
4. Is there anything we can do to control the weather? No.

Anyone who questions liberal fearmongering, beliefs or orthodoxy is instantly labeled a “denier” by the media. Just sayin....

C’mon guys. Even the most rabid of deniers (that would be me) don't reject “climate change” because we know (for certainty) that it has happened and will continue to happen going forward. If it didn't happen how do you explain ice ages? And how do you explain the massive warming which ended each of them. What we vehemently reject is the notion that it is caused by people (or farting cows for that matter). More importantly, we reject the notion that humans are anywhere near capable of having any effect on the natural processes responsible for the variability.

the comments at the site really tell the tale of what the world has become.

it is hard to believe so many people are eating up this man made global warming that they have been spoon fed, and actually think it is “settled science”

several posters offer the crumbling sea wall as proof of man made global warming... there is no intelligence in these people.

This illustrates the extent of digging the media is doing, trying to discredit Trump. We’re not allowed to see Barry’s public records, as a state senator in Illinois, yet the media was able to dig this up. If only they were so eager to investigate Cartel Clinton’s money laundering and influence peddling.

"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"

Damn, these "journalists" are stupid. Or maybe just flagrant liars. There has always been erosion along the coasts, and the coasts are always shifting and unstable. Some millions of years ago, the coast of the Pacific Ocean was near the present Washington/Idaho border. To treat normal coastal erosion as a product of "global warming" is asinine.

Idiots. There is a difference between erosion and ‘climate change’.

The association is theirs not Trumps.

He is building a seawall to prevent erosion. Humanity has done that since the beginning of recorded history. Long before junk science said we were causing it.

Wait...someone is knocking at the door claiming I am a heretic.

Over on Reddit, the lunkheads actually call the people doing fake news and heavily-edited segments “correspondents”!

Today’s ‘journalists’ are absolutely pathetic creatures of decades of pubic school and university indoctrination. They need to be ridiculed, maybe sued for big bucks, for their fabrications. Many of them should be considered domestic enemies.

Really! What does a sea wall next to the sea which normally causes erosion have to do with globeBULL warming?!?!

Climate does change, and has changed many times in the past. It is not a matter of denial of the fact of climate change.

What is a matter of contention, is how much, or how little, any particular activity by humanity affects the climate in any way. And carbon dioxide is certainly not the driver of any “climate change”. The biggest factor in any weather system is a different “greenhouse gas”, water vapor, which can and does do things that are just beyond the scope of carbondioxide.

Water is in some ways, a very peculiar compound. It can exist, simultaneously, under earth conditions, as three different states of matter, as a solid, ice, or as a liquid, or as an atmospheric gas, as water vapor. The “triple point” for this substance is at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or at zero on the Celsius scale. Dihydrogen oxide has a most unusual capacity to either absorb heat energy or radiate it away, in quantities much more pronounced than most other elements or compounds. Both in total quantity in the atmosphere, and in this peculiar capability to transfer or absorb heat energy, carbon dioxide is INSIGNIFICANT in comparison to water in all its forms, as carbon dioxide only exists as a gas in the atmosphere, or as a very weak acid when dissolved in water solution. It does not have a “triple point” under normal earth conditions. Solid carbon dioxide, “dry ice” passes directly from the solid form to the gaseous vapor, with no intermediate liquid state, except under considerable pressure and does not figure AT ALL in heat transfers in either the atmosphere or in water, in which it may be dissolved. Carbon dioxide does absorb heat energy, at very nearly the rate that water vapor can, but only gives it up when cooled in the presence of water, either as liquid or as water vapor.

Carbon dioxide, being heavier than most of the other components of the atmosphere, becomes far more rarified the higher above the sea level it is distributed. Water vapor, on the other hand, is about half the molecular weight of most other elements of the atmosphere, and can rise to considerable heights. And once a very high level, water vapor loses it heat, and becomes micro-crystals of ice. The rest of the heat was radiated off to deep space, balancing out the heat gain/loss on a daily basis.

Their very premise reveals that they do not think, know nothing about basic physics - water erodes, wears down etc. And yet they insist on telling everyone else what to think.

IF the bare facts in the story are true, the real takeaway is that governments everywhere are out of control, and that a person wishing to do business must play their ridiculous game to survive. If you want to build anything, get out the environmental impact reports, which in many places MUST address phony “man made warming”, and say what the government says you must say. You have no choice in the matter. Truthfully, I believe that most governments understand that man-made climate change is a hoax, but use the lie to exert control and extract fees. Anyone hoping to do business must play the game. Trump successfully navigated a corrupt system.
