    “One of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence but we’re not necessarily such believers,” said Trump, speaking to the Post’s Josh Dawsey and Philip Rucker. “You look at our air and our water and it’s right now at a record clean. ... As to whether or not it’s man-made and whether or not the effects that you’re talking about are there, I don’t see it — not nearly like it is.”

    WTF is a "record clean"?

    After decades of failed predictions, why should anyone believe these new predictions? You rubes are too much...

    Err, huh?

    You mean the climate isn't changing?

    Because, like, SCIENCE!

    Do tell!

    Like for the last few billion years? Yep, the climate is changing, we just don't have anything to do with it. That is the difference, rubes think humans control the sun, the magnetosphere, and all the other factors that effect climate. And they magically do this through CO2, because if you ask them they will tell you that is the problem. Odd, because CO2 is really a bit player in the overall climate scheme...

    In real science you don’t compare accurate temperatures from around the worlds to very gross estimates based on ice core bubbles. That’s like mashing together and iron bar with iron ore!

    Climate is changing, I doubt anyone denies it, but proving that the change is due to humans is something I don’t think scientists really achieved. While all human beings need to try to pollute less by buying efficient cars, reduce the use of plastics and so on, we shouldn’t try to impose drastic measures that can do real heavy damage to our economy.

    Yep. Couple outlets shredding Al Gore recently. This is the 6th anniversary of Al's 2013 "no polar ice cap" prediction.

    Why doesn't anyone use the term GLOBAL WARMING anymore, all we ever hear now is CLIMATE CHANGE. The climate has been changing back and forth, up and down for Billions of years and it will continue to change for Billions more. Did support for Global Warming stop when people were freezing their Butts off during some of the extremely harsh Winters we've had in this country recently, so they decided to call it Climate change. Al Gore is the biggest Con Artist that has managed to bilk people out of Millions of dollars, while he sits back and floats around in his Olympic size Pool burning up 23 times the average energy use of the average American home. It's like he's selling Swamp land in Florida. The world needs to start putting pressure on the real polluters around the Earth, before they start with the United States.

    No. No, they don't.

    Do all Republicans believe that Obama was born in Kenya?

    So what?

    How does that mean that there's no such thing as climate change, or that the consensus among scientists is that the climate is changing?

    Won't AOC be eligible for president by then? Maybe that's her gig, she claims doom and gloom now, and she'll save the world! Sadly the rubes in her party would totally buy that...

    Go ahead and find a scientist who agrees with that word salad.

    Yes, the GOP plainly has the upper hand in a debate about the science of climate change. Good call.

    Its spring, its not yet global warming season, it has to be actual summer for that. In spring temps are erratic meaning they could be cooler and eco-Nazis look stupid claiming global warming then get hit with a late snap freeze. In summer when it is hot and likely to get hotter as the summer progresses you will see global warming come back into the lexicon. As soon as it cools off in fall it will be back to climate change, because the hoax really is that intellectually dishonest...

    Go ahead and provide some data of predictions made and predictions that have come true. Ask Al Gore how that game goes, didn't he use real scientists? I'm not sure I want people like that on my side...

    Is posting articles from Yahoo News that originate from the kook blog Huffing Paint Post supposed to give the legitimacy?

    Do you think simply calling something “kook” is a valid rebuttal or argument?

    Trump can't see air, so it doesn't exist, out of sight, out of mind to Trump

    course I think Trump only really remembers the last things he has heard, dementia maybe, listen to him speak

    i woudl not be surprised to hear down the road that all this stupid stuff Trump is doing was so he would get impeached, as he did not want to be President, but the stupid republicans in congress kept supporting him no mater what he did, how funny would that be

    humans are contributing to climate change, what we do not know is what the end effect will be.. maybe we will just delay or lighten the next ice age

    but the right woudl never believe man could do that..

    it's all about the numbers and repetitive actions.... single celled organism changed this planet too in the past

    This debate isn't about Al Gore any more than it's about the small number of Republicans who believed that Obama was born in Kenya. Please address the issues and find a scientist who believes what you posted. Thank you.

    And republicans actually believe the bullshit that democrats believe we are all going to die in like 12 years.

    Kinda like democrats are for open borders bullshit. Without such bumperstickers you'd have to actually have to assess the facts for themselves. Tough challenge for many, I'm sure.

    :roflol: a Democrat denying Democrats say the world will end in like 12 years...

    And a border that anyone and everyone can come and go unchecked and unregulated across is an open border.
