Trump on dire warnings in climate report: 'I don't believe it'

[Mrs. Overall]

Source: The Hill

President Trump said Monday that he doesn’t “believe” the findings of a major report his administration released forecasting dire consequences to the United States from climate change.

“Yeah, I don’t believe it,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a campaign rally for Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith (R) in Mississippi, when asked about the predictions of economic devastation.

“I’ve seen it, I’ve read some of it, and it’s fine,” Trump said of the report.

The report, part of the fourth congressionally-mandated National Climate Assessment from the multi-agency Global Change Research Program, came out Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and a major shopping day for the United States. That led critics to charge that Trump was trying to bury the findings. The research concluded that climate change could cost the United States billions of dollars annually within decades if greenhouse gases aren’t dramatically reduced.

1. He is an ignoramus.

15. Yes, but he is a stable ignoramus.

He was, is, and will be an ignoramus for his entire life.

2. I do not believe that Trump has read a single paragraph of that report.

His statement that "I've read some of it" I believe to be an outright lie (I know, I know, he always lies).

3. "and it's fine." Right, dumbo. Just blow off all the science from around the world

so you can collect a few more petro/real-estate dollars from your like-minded world-rapists.

4. Flat earther.

Fucking dinosaur. Total embarrassment.

5. Modern Caligula speaks. Also

The real Caligula said, "I am nursing a viper for the Roman people”. Cheeto hates us and that is what he is doing with climate change denial.

6. the weather genius has spoken,,,,!

7. The thing about science is that it doesn't matter if you believe in it or not.

And luckily the tRump administration is only temporary. We are losing precious time, but I know there are plenty of others working in the government who are doing their jobs and we will be back on track at least by January 2020.

(well, look at that, I DO still have a shred of optimism! WOW! good to know! most days since 11/16 it doesn't feel like it!)

8. Yet another verbal fart from him that will age well

[Javaman]

9. "I've read some of it"

yup, he sounded out the first page then gave up.

fucking asshole.

[Jimbo S]

19. Did it have pictures?

[red dog 1]

10. "I've read some of it"

while watching Fox News probably.

What an asshole!

[world wide wally]

11. And I don't believe you

[rickford66]

12. Do your job. Ask him what he read.

[BigmanPigman]

13. That would be a first.

"What did you think when you read page 7 of the report which states.....?", Mr President. Nail him!

[rickford66]

17. He lost dozens of friends on 911 !!

Name one.

[Moostache]

21. ABSOLUTELY!!!

Make him squirm and pout and rage against the follow-up questions to EVERY ONE OF HIS LIES...nail his fat ample ass to the wall every time he prevaricates, fibs, shades or just plain old lies.

Trump should be put under so much pressure that he begins to question if he should just shut up or if he should help pack their shit to get out of Dodge faster...

[BigmanPigman]

22. That pissed me off that they LET HIM get away with changing his

crusade against Obama/Birtherism. One day he suddenly said, "No, not an issue anymore". And the press allowed him to get away with that BS, no follow up at all. The MSM handed the office to him on a gold platter.

[not fooled]

14. He probably inadvertently glanced at the title

as he threw the report in the trash. That's the part he "read."

Wow, the reasons history will judge this turd harshly just keep piling up.

[Pathwalker]

16. If only our disbelief in you could make you disappear, tRump.

You'll kill this planet all for your greedy ugly self.

18. Eh well...Barron will live long enough to see water lapping at the doors of Mar-a-logo

Then he'll really know what a POS his dad was.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

20. What horrifies me is that apparently none of his "advisors"

ever bother to tell him things like, "Climate change is settled science".
