Trump’s Climate Change Denial Is Already Complicating the Paris Climate Deal
If Donald Trump wins and pulls the U.S. out of its climate change commitments, some countries wonder, why should they keep their own?
Donald Trump first shared his analysis of the climate crisis in a now infamous 2012 tweet-rant: “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive,” he claimed.
The Republican presidential hopeful has since dialed back the rhetoric, calling that earlier claim a joke. But — as in other areas of critical domestic and international concern — he’s fallen short when pressed for specifics on what a Trump presidency would mean for energy and the climate. It seemed his oft-repeated phrase “trust me, I’ll get the best people“ was as close as the American public was going to get to details.
Until now.
The best Trump could find turns out to be climate denier and staunch fossil fuel backer Kevin Cramer, a two-term Republican congressman from oil- and coal-rich North Dakota. As a newly tapped energy adviser, Cramer recently handed the Trump campaign a four-page policy paper urging the candidate to scrap the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, among other regulations introduced by the EPA to curb pollution from the energy sector.

The scumbags running their scams are going to be targets for a REAL president. This is getting better and the real battles have not even started yet....LOL!!!

I didn’t know he said that. Brilliant and right again!
Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.
Trump seems to have more power as a candidate than the president does as president
I suppose the dumbasses fail to realize it’s essential for life on the erf. Without it my plants would look like Arnold Stang.
Success and he’s not even president yet!
If this keeps up, I may have to start buying popcorn by the 50 pound bag.
“Trump’s Climate Change Denial Is Already Complicating the Paris Climate Deal”
Amazing..he just now secured the nomination and he’s already giving the American people benefits...Take these globalists down.
Correction. He has the needed number but there is NO guarantee that the gopE won’t pull some sort of BS. After the convention I’ll believe he has the nomination. If he does. gopE is no better than the dncE any more.
Paris accord failed before most anyone thought Trump would win nomination.
“Greens Blame Donald Trump for Crumbling Paris Climate Accord”
I on the other hand credit Trump for such an achievement - even before he gets elected.
What’s interesting is that governments around the world must think that Trump will be elected.
I think that to make the thing active countries accounting for for a majority of the world's carbon must be in. The US or China pulling out would surely queer the deal.
Bumper Sticker:
If you believe CO2 is a Pollutant, stop breathing. I’ll wait.
At least they aren’t blaming George Bush.
exactly, this is the kind of good news i can get used to!
Ha!
Ha!
That'll even clinch it, for some.
Greens themselves can buy and use electric cars and have 100% solar cell powered electric houses, unilaterally.
I don’t see too many electric cars and 100% solar cell powered houses.
Greens can also become landlords and factory owners - with 100% green apartments and factories.
Why do they give Trump all of the credit. It’s normal, hardworking American taxpayers who are collapsing that commie lib hoax and scam.
