22 Feb: NYT: Former Trump Aide Calls Paris Climate Accord ‘a Good Republican Agreement’
By Lisa Friedman
The White House’s senior adviser on energy and climate change stepped down last week after being denied a full security clearance for smoking marijuana about five years ago. Now he is speaking his mind about the Paris climate agreement that President Trump has disavowed.
“I’m going to say something controversial,” the former adviser, George David Banks, said in an interview. “The Paris agreement is a good Republican agreement. It’s everything the Bush administration wanted.”...
“A lot can happen between now and 2020,” Mr. Banks said, referring to the date when countries can formally leave the Paris agreement. He pointed to the president’s recent comment, which he made during a news conference with Prime Minister Erna Solberg of Norway, that “we could conceivably go back in” to the deal.
“He’s still thinking about it,” Mr. Banks said. “I think he wants to keep the option alive.”...
Previously the executive vice president of the American Council for Capital Formation, a business-oriented think tank, Mr. Banks began his career as an economic analyst at the C.I.A. He served in the State Department and the White House Council on Environmental Quality, both under former President George W. Bush.

I consider this fake news also.
If I were an editor, I would NEVER approve of an article whose title included the word “may”.
Of course the media will continue to attribute fact to fiction, and try to tie it to anyone who is or was close to Trump at one point.
