Donald Trump can’t believe in climate change, because of his ‘VERY HIGH LEVELS OF INTELLIGENCE’
|
His administration released a dense report compiled by 13 federal agencies last week that painted a bleak picture of the severity of the impact of climate change on the lives of Americans, and the U.S. economy. But Trump dismissed it. “One of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence but we’re not necessarily such believers,” Trump told The Washington Post in an interview in the Oval Office. “As to whether or not it’s man-made and whether or not the effects that you’re talking about are there, I don’t see it,” he said, doubling down on his initial reaction to the National Climate Assessment report on Monday, when he said: “I don’t believe it.” …. The White House report warned that rising temperatures had already harmed the U.S., and that limiting greenhouse gases would substantially benefit the American economy….. Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University, called the president’s comments “idiotic,” The Post reported. And Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist at Texas Tech University, told The Post: “Facts aren’t something we need to believe to make them true, we treat them as optional at our peril. “And if we’re the president of the United States, we do so at the peril of not just ourselves but the hundreds of millions of people we’re responsible for.” https://www.newsweek.com/trump-says-his-very-high-levels-intelligence-means-he-cant-believe-climate-1234608 |
