Russia President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that climate change doubters "may not be at all silly."

In an interview by CNBC at the International Arctic Forum in Arkhangelsk, Russia, Putin was asked about the rollback of environmental regulations from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

"Those people who are not in agreement with opponents (of climate change) may not be at all silly," Putin replied via an interpreter.

Russia's president also pointed to the economic importance of the Arctic region as he argued global warming and ice melting in the area created beneficial conditions for economic improvement.

"Climate change brings in more favorable conditions and improves the economic potential of this region," he said. "Today, Russia's GDPis the result of the economic activity of this region." Putin explained as he revealed that 10 percent of his country's GDP is linked to the Arctic region.

“Uh Oh. Now even the leftist climate cultists will want war with Russia.”

They already signed on with the queer hate of anti-pedo Russia. No net change.

Fake News. What are the odds that the translation was accurate and verbatim?

Climate change alarmists keep warning of the disasters of globull warming but can’t explain how the earth survived previous changes in temperature. They want you to believe that it has NEVER, EVER been warmer than it was in about 1990.

This headline is clearer:

Russia President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that climate change doubters "may not be at all silly."

I have a house in the northern suburbs of Chicago and one in northern Wisconsin looking out on Lake Michigan. If this planet gets warmer, I’m in the catbird seat. It will be like a home on the Ocean in Florida here without the hurricanes, tourists or the alligators.

Double negative, read it again. It doesn’t say what the headline says.

You're joking, but millennials who have been indoctrinated to only think in slogans, I can hear them spouting that.

The standard models say most of the temperature increase will happen near the poles. Russia has to love that.

Putin is a pragmatist. He isn’t going to buy into the #FakeScience of ClimateChange.
