November 26, 2017: President Doesn't Believe 1,656-Page Climate Report

 

11/26/17: Reporters stop the president on the South Lawn and pepper him with questions. He’s leaving for Mississippi to lead a rally for Cindy Hyde-Smith, Republican candidate in a U.S. Senate runoff election. 

Well, they ask, what does he think about the 1,656-page climate report just released by 13 government agencies?

“I’ve seen it. I’ve read some of it. And it’s fine,” he responds in lame-ass fashion. You know he hasn’t read it at all. 

Asked if he agrees with the report’s assessment, that our nation will face serious negative environmental, economic, and social consequences from climate change, he replies: “I don’t believe it.” 

(See his almost identical reaction to a United Nations report, put together by scientists from 40 nations: 10/11/18.)
