President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday that "nobody really knows" whether climate change is real and that he is "studying" whether the United States should withdraw from the global warming agreement struck in Paris a year ago.

There is a big difference in accepting human caused global warming and climate change. It's not known if the climate is warming but climate change is constantly occurring. Nowhere in the article does it quote Trump directly commenting on climate change.
I know it’s not real and a lot of obamaturd.

Anthroprogenic Global Warming
If it wasn’t for global warming Chicago would still be under a mile of ice.
CAGW is false.
The vast majority of anthropomorphic global warming/climate change ‘believers’ have no scientific background upon which to judge the existing science, but because the democrats and the news media have endorsed anthropomorphic climate change as indisputable fact, many jump on the bandwagon and say ‘the science is settled’ - even though they couldn’t personally defend that position scientifically. Yet they point fingers at those who don’t believe the hype, or who think the jury is out, and characterize them as the equivalent of ‘Flat Earth’ believers.
Contradicting settled science, Donald Trump says "nobody really knows" on climate change
There’s a reason you can see the chicago city skyline from sea level 50 miles away. Just saying.
Thank you for that. And climate does in fact change over time. Just not caused by human action.
See Level, maybe. Though L. Mich. looks like an inland sea, it’s 100s of feet above sea level.
The climate has been changing since the earth was formed.
It has been both glacial and tropical here in Virginia where I live.
The temperature was considerably warmer than today during the Minoan civilization and during the Roman period.
Man does not cause fluctuations in temperature.
The source of all heat on earth does.
It’s called the Sun.
“There’s a reason you can see the chicago city skyline from sea level 50 miles away.”
LOL!
Yes, because the average curvature of the Earth is about 8 inches per mile, thus at 50 miles you would lose ~ 400 inches (e.g. ~33.3 feet) from the viewable horizon. The Sears Tower is ~1470 feet to the ‘roof’ and over 1700 feet to the tip, and there are plenty of buildings in the Chicago skyline greater than 33.3 feet tall..
CA....
But, but, but 97% of scientists ...
Doesn’t change the fact that you shouldn’t be able to see any part of the buildings of the Chicago skyline across L.Michigan from 50 miles away. Much less the entire skyline from top to bottom. Or that the horizon is still level 20 miles up.
Why is it that the only “science” they say is settled relies on Computer Models that are never right???
No smoking hot spot David Evans - THE AUSTRALIAN July 18, 20081. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.
It’s actually 8 inches per mile squared.
50*50 = 2500*8 = 20,000 inches.
20,000/12 = 1,666 feet.
