I'm pretty sure The Donald -- -- is aware of the core difference between climate and weather. And, too, he should explicate what's going on in Australia. I'm curious --
And, too, is The Donald heavily invested in the oil and mining sectors? If so his position is understandable, is quite rational. He is serving his own interests. And, too, why should he care about anyone else? Why should he care about, say, future generations.
Ya know, even if you think climate change is a hoax aren't there, say, benefits to CONSERVing energy (isn't conservation at the core of being a conservative? No? Yes?) for, say, future generations?
But Trump has internalized certain values anyway. I disagree with his values. But they are his values. That's the problem with values: your values could be wrong and very destructive -- to others.

"Were you born after 1976? Then you’ve never experienced an average year: 2013 is the 37th year in a row with temperatures above the 20th century average."

After Hansen and 17 other climatologists published their newest assessment of global climate change

( http://www.plosone.org/article/info%....0081648#close )

Dr. Mann of Penn State wrote a NYC opinion piece saying in effect scientists can no longer sit back and watch politicians fumble the ball. Of course, Rush Limbaugh (with the intellectual integrity of a Stalanist Lysenko) compared Mann to Penn State child molester Jerry Sandusky!

Hansen's PLOS ONE paper is a worthwhile read. Here it is again.
