For the first time in his presidency, Donald Trump acknowledged that human-generated greenhouse gases contribute to climate change. During Tuesday night's presidential debate, moderator Chris Wallace noted that Trump had recently suggested that science was unclear on whether climate change was real and pointed out that he has, at virtually every turn in his presidency, pursued policies that scientists say will make global warming worse. “What do you believe about the science of climate change and what will you do in the next four years to confront it?” Wallace asked after also noting that much of the western United States was battling wildfires believed to have been made worse by rising temperatures.
