Sen. Ted Cruz dropped out of the presidential race on Tuesday, making it almost certain that Donald Trump will win the GOP nomination and face Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in November. For those who've been in denial that this day could ever come, we figured a refresher course on the real estate developer's musings about climate and energy might be in order.
On the basic science: "I am not a great believer in man-made climate change," Trump told the Washington Post editorial board in March. "If you look, they had global cooling in the 1920s and now they have global warming, although now they don't know if they have global warming."
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 06, 2012 This very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit has got to stop. Our planet is freezing, record low temps,and our GW scientists are stuck in ice
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 02, 2014 A panel of scientists ranked all the then-presidential candidates' public remarks on climate for the Associated Press last November. Trump got 15 pointsout of 100.
On climate versus weather: When it was "really cold outside" last October, Trump tweeted that we "could use a big fat dose of global warming!"
On the kind of climate change he is worried about: "I think our biggest form of climate change we should worry about is nuclear weapons." Interpretation: unclear.
On the Environmental Protection Agency: "We're going to get rid of so many different things," Trump said in a February debate. "Environmental protectionwe waste all of this money. We're going to bring that back to the states." But only if he can figure out what the EPA is. Trump said he would eliminate some agency called "Department of Environmental. I mean, the DEP is killing us environmentally, it's just killing our businesses."
On clean energy:
Not only are wind farms disgusting looking, but even worse they are bad for people's health bit.ly/I9Dl8k (cont) tl.gd/h46200
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 23, 2012 Wind turbines are a scourge to communities and wildlife. They are environmental disasters.
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 23, 2012 On clean energy when campaigning in clean-energy-heavy states: Trump told an Iowa voter that he's okay with wind subsidies. "It's an amazing thing when you thinkyou know, where they can, out of nowhere, out of the wind, they make energy."
On the Paris climate accord signed by 175 countries: "One of the dumbest things I've ever heard in politicsin the history of politics as I know it."
I am with you. Been there, done that and also over 50 years ago. Diary, pig farm and some horses. My wife and I argue over one thing. Which smells better, horse shit or cow shit? She thinks horse but I say they both are yucky.
Go Trump!
And here in central New Mexico we had six inches of snow this weekend. Where in the hell is the global warming? We are using our propane up.
Horse manure on the diet with a lot of alfalfa. Not bad at all. Comes out dry. Two hours later you can pick it up with your hand and through it across the barn. Possibly hitting your cousin or your brother in the back of the head.
Haven’t done anything like that for many many years .
At last! Something Mr. Trump and I agree on :)
Global cooling? Ask the Dinosaurs who used to live in the tropical rain-forests of the Gunnison Valley about that.
#3: Gunnison, Colorado
Average annual temperature: 38.1F
All-time record low: -47 degrees

Twist in the wind Mother Scones until you shriek your useless heads off!!!
I relish it!!!
When I was young and the Ecology movement was just taking off we did have a pollution problem in the USA then the EPA came along the pollution became manageable and people also became better aware not to litter, etc.
BUT like every damnable Goobermint agency the young EPA decided it needed more MONEY and POWER so you know the story they have fallen so low to create problems to “solve” and attack our freedoms in the name “protecting” insects and animals. This shit has got to STOP.
DAMN them to HELL - its time to eliminate the EPA and replace it with a smaller office under the Interior with limited powers govern by Congress.
Same goes for many other unneeded Departments.
Don’t worry
Trump mocked Obama and his vacations YUGE Carbon Footprint tonight.
It’s doubtful that nuclear winter is really a thing, and the concept has largely been pushed by Leftists who were determine to keep good countries from annihilating Communist and Muslim s**holes, much as global warming has been pushed to have us regress our technology to Communist and Muslim levels. Theologically, the LORD would never allow the planet to be inhospitable except on His terms; empirically, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings had little effect on the atmosphere beyond the immediate area, and conditions quickly returned to normal.
The GloBull warming ‘scientists’ rated DT 15 out of 100? I can support that.
Just do a little research! I ask my friends who believe this sh!t to look up what % CO2 is of the atmosphere. Then I ask them to look hp what man’s contribution is. I won’t tell them, cuz they won’t believe me. I make them do their own research. Man’s contribution is below infinitesimal. The smarter ones are quite surprised. Some of them thought that CO2 was 50% of the atmosphere! Bwaaa! It’s fun to make them look for themselves!
“That simply cannot happen if we are currently experiencing one of the warmest years on record.”
By what? a hundredth of a degree?
There was no “global warming” so they changed it to “climate change” but they won’t define the measurable criteria. It’s just Bull Crap. The game is to take your stuff!! WAKE UP!!
Because the Sun's magnetic field is declining....so less sunspots are created....
We got the warmest year on record by fudge factor. Does anyone think if we were having one of the coldest years on record, that Western Europe would be breaking 50 year high temperature records during the fall ?
By the way, hes right, it is BS.
He could appease the libs by promising to publicly examine the science and release all of the data “corrections” made by NOAA and others. No more secret code and unexplained "adjustments".
When the science is out in the open, then the BS will be shown to everyone...
