President Trump Believes In Climate Change
Red State ^ | June 5, 2017 | Dan Spencer

President Donald J. Trump believes in climate change and that humans have a role in it. That's what U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley told CNN's Jake Tapper during an interview on CNN’s "State of the Union":

"President Trump believes the climate is changing and he believes pollutants are part of the equation. Trump knows that it’s changing and that the U.S. has to be responsible for it and that’s what we’re going to do. Just because the U.S. got out of a club [Obama’s Paris Agreement] doesn't mean we aren’t going to care about the environment."

Excellent point.

Personally, I’m willing to admit the climate is changing. It always has been, it always will be.

I’m also willing to admit that people can affect it. The real question there is how significant is that effect. If a butterfly flaps it’s wings, that affects air currents nearby. I’m pretty confident it’s not making any noticeable or appreciable contributions to hurricane force winds.

The BIG question that the left conveniently ignores is : How effective are your efforts at “combatting” climate chance. My answer is close to zero. What the left’s radical plans accomplish is primarily wealth redistribution. They take money from middle class Americans and distribute it to dictators in poor countries and to already rich Americans (like Al Gore). Climate change is just a scam to get control over you and your money. (Getting you riled up enough to look to the government for “protection” against something frightening that you don’t really understand is a major part of this scam.) It has very little to do with climate.

#1 Trump says he is a great negotiator.
A great negotiator does not reveal all the cards in his hand ... and sometimes he bluffs ... lies. On a great negotiating team the role of some team members is to confuse those not on the team by bluffing.

#2 Climate change is a fact. Of course Trump believes in climate change. Ice ages come and go. El Ninos come and go. Climate changes. Big deal.

#3 Humans do have a role in climate change. Parts of the middle east were semi-tropical gardens of eden with heavy vegetation. Due to man’s methods of farming that destroyed the farm land, those lush areas of vegetation became deserts and the climate changed due to man’s activity.

Currently, CO2 has a balance sheet. Vegetation collects CO2 and stores it inside the vegetation, and in the soil as the vegetation dies. In the other side of the balance sheet, volcanos, brush/forest fires, nature, animals and humans release CO2 stored by the vegetation. If more CO2 is to be released, then vegetation must also be increased and more must be stored to retain the balance. Nature solves part of this itself, increasing vegetation naturally as the CO2 level increases.

But man made increases in CO2 can only be answered by man made increases in vegetation. Plant more trees and vegetation in areas that used to have trees but man has cleared, yet is not using productively. In corn, soybean and other crop lands, plant a winter vegetation. In suburban areas, refrain from zoning laws that require massive asphalt parking lots that are rarely full and just drive up brick-n-mortar cost of doing business.

It could be noted that government policy and government activities (including war) have been a major factor in killing vegetation.

Nikki Haley is totally correct in saying what she is saying. As with many issues, the problem is not in knowledge of both true and doubtful facts. The problem is in assuming the solution from the left is the true and only solution.

We’ve already pulled out of Paris.

It’s a little late to be spreading your propaganda.

No surprise the Never Trumpers are still at it. The most politically moronic group in US History.

Dear MORONS.

You never going to “get Trump” as you desperately fantasize without destroying the GOP for at least a decade.

GROW UP. You lost. Get over it.

No rational man with God-given faculties, aided by intelligence and experience, can disagree with that.

But that is not the question.
The question is to what extent is man a contributor, and is it significant in any relevant way?
Was mindless fear or the attraction or greed ever intended to exploit any danger that exists?

That question is avoided by the enemies of the rational and good man; By the domestic enemy of the Republic.

That fear and greed was never intended to be allowed to become a religion.
That religion, and the other despicable excuse for a religion, are the only ones I despise with all the strength I can muster; until the day I die.

The blind, ignorant, indolent barbarian is the enemy of civilized man.

Not true.

What banal excuse for contributed wisdom!

Why is puerile opinion prattle considered ever as useful contribution?

You’re calling it fake news not because you find it inaccurate or find its news stories to be in error, but because you disagree with their opinions (some of them anyway), because he site isn’t just robotically pro-Trump.

You’re perfectly entitled to that view, but that does Not constitute “fake news.”
