Donald Trump said again on Sunday that he is “open-minded” about climate change -- but also that “nobody really knows” the truth about the issue, which contradicts the fact that there is near-universal scientific agreement on the issue.
In an interview with “Fox News Sunday,” moderator Chris Wallace pointed out to Mr. Trump that in the space of a week he bothmet with former Vice President Al Gore and appointed Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, a climate change denier who has opposed many environmental regulations, to head the Environmental Protection Agency. Where, Wallace asked, does Mr. Trump stands on climate change?
“I’m very open-minded. I’m still open-minded,” he said. “Nobody really knows.”
However, there is a near-universal scientific consensus that climate change is a real phenomenon -- despite continued opposition to the notion among primarily Republican politicians. NASA’s website on climate change, for example, notes that approximately 97 percent of publishing climate scientists agree that human activities are very likely responsible for rising temperatures.

“Settled science”. lol. Die media die.
What “settled science”? There is a lot of disagreement on global warming from many expert sources; try John Coleman who founded the Weather Channel, among many other. This is why the “press” is the greatest purveyor of “fake news”, not the Russians or anyone else.
..and mankind made dinosaurs go extinct! /s
Consensus science
To liberals, science is settled. To most of us schooled in the history of science, its always subject to revision in the light of new developments.
Climate change is a liberal cult, not science.
It was tremendously cold 10,000 years ago -- but it warme d up.
It was very warm 2000 years ago -- then it cooled down.
It was very warm 1000 years ago -- then it cooled down.
It was very cold 200-500 years ago -- then it warmed up.
No one really disputes this stuff. It's real.
The question is: Was it our fault?
More fake news from CBS.

Media idiot scum.
NASA satellite data - the only reliable data - shows no warming for around 15 years now. Zero.
There was a consensus in favor of every bad idea in history.
Just because authorities say its true, doesn’t mean they’re always right.
“which contradicts the fact that there is near-universal scientific agreement on the issue.”
FAKE news.
I pray Trump launches initiative to giving scientists who question MAN MADE Climate Change a chance to rebut the hoaxsters.
Self-declared settled science.
Fake....legacy....media...
“Newsweek” critic Pauline Kael in 1972; “I just don’t know how McGovern lost to that Nixon. Just everybody I know on the Upper West Side in NYC and Hollywood voted for McGovern and nobody I know voted for Nixon”. And she is probably right — Displacement from reality.
science is NOT a consensus.
Also, most of North America is covered in ice sheets every ten thousand years or so. It will happen again as it happened always. Our biggest long term problem is how will we deal with the ice sheets next time we go into an ice age?
