26 May: Breitbart: Cohn: Trump Becoming “Smarter,’ ‘More Knowledgeable’ on Climate Change
by Joel B. Pollak
White House economic advisor Gary Cohn made the curious comment in Sicily on Friday that President Donald Trump’s views on climate change were “evolving.”
It was not clear exactly what that meant...
Like the term “progressive,” the term “evolution” implies an improvement in moral and intellectual terms, from prejudice and ignorance to reason and enlightenment. The left, presuming that its own views are superior, and that the “long arc of history” bends in its direction, expects people to “evolve” in its direction.
What was stranger were Cohn’s words explaining how Trump is said to be evolving. The president, he said, was becoming “smarter” and becoming “more knowledgeable” about the issue...
What defies explanation is why he would imply that his boss had previously been less “smart” about the issue, or less well informed.
It is the kind of comment that tends to reinforce the false narrative the media spins about every single Republican president — i.e. that he is stupid...
It is also a comment that carries considerable political risk. Conservatives resent being told, usually by leftists, that their generally skeptical views on climate change are poorly informed, or “denialist.” Often, the leftists making such accusations cannot actually explain themselves how climate change is presumed to take place, and never consider a view other than their own.
For now, conservatives continue to hold out hope that the president “evolves” the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement...ETC
