…Warmists panic: ‘Trump’s Energy Adviser Is Dangerously Anti-Environment’
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/trumps-energy-adviser-is-dangerously-anti-environment-kevin-cramer
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has elected a climate science denying, pro-oil and gas, anti-EPA congressman to head up his energy policy initiative.
Fossil fuel advocate Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) has been dangerously portrayed as the lesser of two evils when held up against Trump’s staunch anti-climate change beliefs. In recent media reports, the North Dakota congressman is overwhelmingly referred to as a mere climate “skeptic,” and was credited with persuading the billionaire candidate to consider embracing carbon cuts and a working partnership between Congress and scientists.
Rep. Cramer has a long history of voting against environmental measures that would enforce stricter regulations on natural resource extraction and fossil fuel emissions. The congressman currently serves on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and has been a leading voice in the opposition against President Barack Obama’s monumental climate change legislation, the Clean Power Plan.
In the last three years, Rep. Cramer has voted to pass 97 bills and amendments that the League of Conservation Voters considers “anti-environment” policies.…
Skeptical Trump says would renegotiate global UN climate deal
http://isp.netscape.com/news/story/0002/20160517/KCN0Y82NW_2
Republican presidential contender Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would renegotiate America’s role in the U.N. global climate accord, spelling potential doom for an agreement many view as a last chance to turn the tide on global warming.
A pull-out by the world’s second biggest carbon-emitting country would hobble the deal reached in Paris last December by 177 nations, who for the first time in more than two decades found a common vision for curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
“I will be looking at that very, very seriously, and at a minimum I will be renegotiating those agreements, at a minimum. And at a maximum I may do something else,” the New York real estate mogul said in an interview with Reuters.
“But those agreements are one-sided agreements and they are bad for the United States.”
Trump said he did not believe China, the world’s top emitter of the carbon dioxide gas that many scientists believe is contributing to global climate change, would adhere to its pledge under the Paris deal.
“Not a big fan because other countries don’t adhere to it, and China doesn’t adhere to it, and China’s spewing into the atmosphere,” he said.
The accord to transform the world’s fossil-fuel driven economy was a potent signal to investors.…

Steve Milloy points out that Donald Trump has been a consistent critic of the global warming hysteria and green extremism in general. Here are some of the points Trump has made: Global warming is a “hoax,” echoing the words of leading Senate climate skeptic Sen. Jim Inhofe.Trump has mocked Obama for saying that climate change is the top global priority, especially as compared to Islamic terrorism and rogue nuclear states like Iran and North Korea.Other countries, especially China, push global warming hysteria to cripple the U.S. economy and gain competitive advantage.Trump has ridiculed Obama’s climate “deal” with China in which the U.S. cuts its CO2 emissions now while China gets away with a commitment to only possibly peak its emissions by 2030.When global temperatures failed to rise as predicted by climate models, “global warming” became “climate change.”Global warming hysteria is being pushed by “Jonathan Gruber-types,” the infamous architect of Obamacare who called Americans “stupid.”Trump has observed that the polar ice caps are not melting as predicted by global warming hysterics.PSAt least with regard to global warming, Donald Trump would be hugely better as President than the present one.

Trump-ing Hillary on EPA and Global Warming: Trump may be ‘a nightmare for EPA’
If he lives up to his campaign rhetoric, a President Donald Trump would be a nightmare for the Environmental Protection Agency, radical environmentalism and the mandate- and subsidy-dependent “green” energy racket.
I have paid close attention this campaign season to what every candidate has said about environmental issues. Almost all 17 of the Republican candidates strongly opposed Obama’s war on coal, the job-killing EPA, and global warming hysteria. But Trump has exhibited something else — unusually keen insight into and visceral dislike for green extremism, especially as inflicted upon us by the Obama administration.
On global warming, Trump has repeatedly stated or tweeted as follows:
- Global warming is a “hoax,” echoing the words of leading Senate climate skeptic Sen. Jim Inhofe.
- Trump has mocked Obama for saying that climate change is the top global priority, especially as compared to Islamic terrorism and rogue nuclear states like Iran and North Korea.
- Other countries, especially China, push global warming hysteria to cripple the U.S. economy and gain competitive advantage.
- Trump has ridiculed Obama’s climate “deal” with China in which the U.S. cuts its CO2 emissions now while China gets away with a commitment to only possibly peak its emissions by 2030.
- When global temperatures failed to rise as predicted by climate models, “global warming” became “climate change.”
- Global warming hysteria is being pushed by “Jonathan Gruber-types,” the infamous architect of Obamacare who called Americans “stupid.”
- Trump has observed that the polar ice caps are not melting as predicted by global warming hysterics.
These are all key points made by climate skeptics. Trump has made them consistently without any waffling.
Trump is also a long-time supporter of the U.S. coal industry:
- “The US is stupidly closing all of its coal fired plants. And then we wonder why our energy costs are going up.”
- “Obama’s coal regulations will destroy the coal industry, put Americans out of work, raise electricity prices and lead to blackouts.”
- “Obama’s war on coal is killing American jobs, making us more energy dependent on our enemies & creating a great business disadvantage.”
Most recently, Trumped jumped on Hillary Clinton’s gaffe about putting coal miners and their industry out of business. “I want clean coal. We’ll have clean coal and plenty of it. The coal industry is being decimated and many great people are out of work and they can’t get back into work. Hillary Clinton as you know, she says …
