December 12, 2016 - CNN: Trump: "No one knows if climate change is real."
March 29, 2017 - CNN: Trump's sweeping executive order to curb [the EPA].
The order represents a clear difference between how Trump and former President Barack Obama view the role the United States plays in combating climate change[.]May 26, 2017: The Jeff Bezos Gazette and Times: Trump's views on climate change are "evolving."
I thought that "we" elected Trump to back us off the fast-track on, what is, complete speculation. [If Al "Rectal Thermometer of the World" Gore, Jr. and his crowd want to pump private money into (they won't) climate change research, great (but they won't).]
Let's back out of the 2015 "Paris Global Warming Hoax Treaty" and see what happens. I'm betting, nothing.
CHECK THIS OUT from Science Alert.
Here's something that happens a lot in science: two researchers disagree about the best way to go about studying something. They fight about it. Maybe at first it's a small personal squabble, but later it plays out in essays and papers and other documents that the whole world can look at.You can run your own search and find several different sides on climate change; to believe it or not, to believe the NOAA and NASA faked their research or not, or to believe the explanations claiming the faked research is true, just misinterpreted...or not. It doesn't matter.
The stakes in this kind of fight are serious. A career's worth of research might be on the line, or the accepted method for caring for patients, or even the future of a whole field of study.
The excerpt from Science Alert tells us all we need to know: Climate change IS ALL ABOUT EGOS. The egos of those at NOAA and NASA. Their ego cage-matches can go on and on and on. But it's time to reign in the time and money spent on climate change. Of course climate changes. Is it the same temperature all day long for you? No? That's climate change. What did you do to facilitate this change in climate? Nothing.
Short of a nuclear missile exchange, I don't think there's much we can do, or do do, that affects the weather. And that's what this is...weather...it changes...there's no mystery behind it.
