Trump has been in the opposition of climate change since the beginning of time...well, pretty much. Although, let's be honest, he's not really been in the opposition, he simply doesn't believe in it (then again, he does seem to believe in the little green man governing Earth). When talking about climate change, or global warming, or anything related to it, all of the stuff he doesn't seem to grasp at all, among other things he has said that "It's freezing and snowing in New York - we need global warming!" And this came out from the mouth of a president. And not from a mouth of the president from the movie Idiocracy, but somehow, a real one.
Now, New York Times has just managed to get a hold of a report by scientists from 13 federal agencies. The draft, among other things, brings out "Evidence for a changing climate abounds, from the top of the atmosphere to the depths of the oceans."
Even just in the United States, according to the report the average temperature of the recent decades has been the warmest of the past 1500 years.
Trump would say, "In the 1920's people were worried about global cooling - it never happened. Now it's global warming. Give me a break!" Or actually, he has said that.
The report also says that "Many lines of evidence demonstrate that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse (heat-trapping) gases, are primarily responsible for recent observed climate change."
Trump has "argued" that "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." And of course, to get rid of small island nations.
Trump administration still needs to approve the report. One scientist involved told The New York Times that there were serious concerned that the report would be suppressed. And there's a good reason for that. Especially as the man who needs to approve it says that "It snowed over 4 inches this past weekend in New York City. It is still October. So much for Global Warming."
