COMPLETE BULLSHIT!

Here is an excerpt from ontheissues.org which covers the Trump comments the MSBC's false claim is based on:

Maybe some climate change is manmade, but not all

Q: the overwhelming majority of scientists say climate change is real and it's manmade.

A: Well, there could be some manmade, too. I mean, I'm not saying there's zero, but not nearly to the extent [others say]. When Obama gets up and said it's the number one problem of our country--and, if it is, why is it that we have to do our and clean up our factories now, and China doesn't have to do it for another 30 or 35 years in their wonderful agreement, you know, our wonderful negotiators?

Climate change is a hoax

What does Donald Trump believe? Climate Change: It is a hoax.

Trump does not believe climate change is real, tweeting out his skepticism with strong language and calling it a hoax on Fox News in 2014. In a 2012 Twitter post which is no longer accessible, Trump charged that the concept of climate change was created by the Chinese to suppress the U.S. economy. In addition, Trump has expressed firm opposition to wind turbines, which he sees as an environmental and aesthetic problem.

No Cap-and-Tax: oil is this country's lifeblood

As crazy as it sounds, the Obama administration wants higher energy prices because they believe that will force America to drive less and businesses to slow down on production and transportation.

Remember Cap-and-Tax (or as they called it Cap and Trade)? [In 2008], Obama outright admitted that his plan to tax businesses on carbon emissions that exceeded his arbitrary cap would drive energy prices sky high. Here's what he said:

"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket, even regardless of what I say about coal, because I'm capping greenhouse gases. Whatever the plants were, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that on to consumers."

Most of us shake our heads in disbelief at this stuff.

Until we get this country's lifeblood--oil--back down to reasonable rates, America's economy will continue to slump, jobs won't get created, and American consumers will face ever-increasing prices.

I hope this is true because behind climate change is the ever-coming-out agenda 21.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Just because you MSNBC say Trump’s changed his tune doesn’t mean it’s true.

Once again... Trump’s “adjusting” the message to the audience.

But remember... it’s all attributable to his white-hot brilliance.

"You mean he changed his position? NO!!! Not Donald Trump!!!!"

He didn't. Maybe we should read the article before posting? It's a transparent smear attempt from MSDNC.

What Trump actually said:

You can trace the change to September, when Trump delivered his most expansive comments on climate change. Speaking with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, he criticized Obama for trying "to solve a problem that I don't think in any major fashion exists."

Reasonable position to take, IMO.

If Trump says that global warming is a threat than it must be so, even if its only 23 degs F here now and will only warm up to 30 F
.

It must be global warming causing this big freeze just like in the Movie Day After Tomorrow.

Repent, give up your car and heat to fight global warming, err , cooling, ...whatever,

Boy, is that true! Cruz nuts must be developing severe carpal tunnel syndrome with their lying threads. Trump is pro-business, pro-American worker and doesn’t buy into the liberal hoax.

If climate IS changing, it has nothing to do with human beings or cars.

“Man, it’s frustrating reading comments from folks who didn’t bother to read the article.

Oh well.”

Cruz folks only read what the ordained high priest of the snake church lets them read. The rest is heresy and anti-Jesus.

“But Trump will get the climate deal done so fast that the Chinese will have warming while we will have cooling. To top it off, Mexico will be paying for this climatic shift.”

That is hilarious!
I like it!

Reality check

He's not going to make America great by making energy expensive. In contrast Al Gore does not want America to be great. What Trump will actually do is a complete mystery. That's part of the fun.

Sorry about that.

Call me a cynic but I’ll bet he sees how he can make money off the lie.
