FACT CHECK: President Trump knows more about â€œclimate changeâ€ than the climate alarmists

(TNS)Â Realist:Â POTUS Donald Trump once joked during his 2016 campaign that the human-caused â€œclimate changeâ€ narrative was nothing more than a hoaxÂ created by the ChineseÂ in order to gain a competitive economic advantage over the United States.

He may have only been half-joking, though the unhinged Left, which continues to push this hoax, lost their collective minds when he said it. Why? Because every â€œsolutionâ€ to the problem offered by liberal scientists and media outlets would cost the U.S. economy hundreds of billions in actual expenditures and lost revenue. And not only that, butÂ no plan offered to dateÂ would substantially reduce â€˜warming.â€™

The more American industry spends on compliance, the less competitive it is globally â€“ thus helping the Chinese economy. That said, shortly after the president took office, his Environmental Protection AgencyÂ quashed expensive new rulesÂ imposed by the Obama regime that would have greatly increased the cost of energy in our country by imposing massive regulations on power plants.

As for the issue of â€˜climate change,â€™ however, the president â€“ in a recent â€œ60 Minutesâ€ interview â€“ demonstrated that he clearly understands the issue far better than many so-called â€˜climate scientists.â€™

â€œThe mainstream media once again attempted to challenge President Donald Trump on â€˜climateÂ change,â€™ but Trump emerged unscathed by refuting typical climate claims with accurate and remarkably scientific comments in an October 14, 2018, 60 Minutes interview,â€ wrote Marc Morano atÂ Climate Depot, a project of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT).

He went on to observe that POTUS Trumpâ€™s comments on the issue were â€œscientifically, politically, and economically accurate.â€
