From the earliest days of his administration, President Trump has been at war with his own government over climate change.
He upbraided his first economic adviser by telling him that he didnt care that American executives backed the Paris climate agreement because my voters dont live on Park Avenue. He has told aides that he thinks the Earths climate will begin cooling again, so there is no need to act forcefully before then.
And he was enraged by a recent National Climate Assessment released by more than a dozen federal agencies showing climate impacts are intensifying across the country and that only aggressive action will avoid substantial damages in the future. The report spurred the White House to make plans for an internal working group to counter the scientific consensus that climate change represents a major threat to the United States and the globe.
For a president who has yet to receive an extensive scientific briefing on climate change, the topic amounts to a political litmus test ahead of the 2020 elections. Rather than accept the conclusions espoused by elites and loathed by many of his voters, Trump has opted to question the premise that global warming represents a major problem or, at times, if it even exists at all. And now through its new working group, his National Security Council is working to muster ammunition for his arguments.

You know Donald I understand presidents are immune to the affect of gravity. If they were to jump from a high building they'd float.
You should try it.
