A Top Senate Democrat Reminded Trump That He Once Urged Obama To Act On Climate Change
A Top Senate Democrat Reminded Trump That He Once Urged Obama To Act On Climate Change
A top Senate Democrat jabbed President Donald Trump on Thursday by reviving an eight-year-old letter in which Trump calls for urgent action on climate change.
In the open letter, which appeared as a full-page advertisement in a 2009 edition of The New York Times, Trump and other business leaders urge then-President Obama to enact climate legislation, invest in clean energy projects, and lead the world in combating climate change. Trump's three adult children are also listed as signatories.
The open letter stands in stark contrast to Trump's current views on the environment. Trump has frequently expressed climate-change skepticism in recent years, including once in 2012when he suggested that climate change was a Chinese-manufactured hoax. On Thursday, he is expected to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord, which is an agreement between 195 countries that set goals for reducing worldwide pollution.
Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware, the ranking member of the Senate Environment Committee, didn't waste the opportunity to remind Trump of his apparent change of heart.
"Will President Trump heed his own advice?" Carper asked in a Twitter post.
The 2009 open letter first resurfaced last year in a report from Grist, a nonprofit environmental news site.
“If we fail to act now, it is scientifically irrefutable that there will be catastrophic and irreversible consequences for humanity and our planet," the letter tells Obama and Congress ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December of that year.
It continues: "We urge you, our government, to strengthen and pass United States legislation, and lead the world by example. We support your effort to ensure meaningful and effective measures to control climate change, an immediate challenge facing the United States and the world today."
"Please allow us, the United States of America, to serve in modeling the change necessary to protect humanity and our planet."

The point that eludes the simple mind's of Democrats is. Trump is not against combating climate change. He was against the one sided Paris agreement.

Here's the thing. If Trump was all out for green energy democrats would accuse him of having big investments and was in it for the money.
Thing is Trump is for green energy. He is also not going to sign a one sided agreement putting America at a disadvantage.
European car manufacturers are already crying. Saying since the US has pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord they will be at a disadvantage. So its a lot about money and who has the upper hand.
The Paris Climate Accord has no specific plans its all about regulatory compliance and more taxes.
It calls for spending trillions to lower the World temp by a fraction of a degree.

He keeps changing his mind. First, he urged Obama to act on climate change. Then he said it was a hoax. Now he's not against combating climate change? What does he actually believe?

He is against the Paris Climate Accord. Why do you liberals continue putting the cart before the horse?
If you really want to curve climate change reduce the population. We have a few billion people more than the Earth can support.

But how does he actually feel about climate change? He's gone from wanting Obama to act on it, to calling it a hoax, to what now?

Per capita WE are paying far less for the Paris accords than any of the Scandanavian countries, as well as many other countries vastly smaller in both geographic size and population.We will not get a refund on the money already spent.Our farmers who are most weather dependent occupation in our country, are very displeased with our presidents piss poor decision.

There's not much of debate about Trump. He's dragging in the polls because of his lies. What kind of President makes repeatedly so many bad judgments.
Like the Paris agreement on climate change. Immigration, healthcare. He can't seem to get anything done.
