Haley: Trump 'believes the climate is changing'

President Trump believes climate change is real and human activity contributes to it, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley told CBS on Saturday.
Haley's statement follows two days of evading questions by the White House on Trump's beliefs on global warming, which in the past he has referred to as a "hoax."
Haley told CBS' Face The Nation repeatedly in an interview scheduled for broadcast Sunday that Trump acknowledges the climate is changing. On Thursday, he announced that he was withdrawing the United States from the 2015 Paris climate agreement that seeks to limit global warming through cuts in carbon emissions.
"The president believes the climate is changing," Haley said. "And he does know that pollutants are a part of that equation."

I know, I know, it's a serious occupational hazard, but what did you THINK the job entailed?

He's just grabbing headlines.
The world is already moving past this piece of human garbage. Only the
true believers pay any attention and they are a cult.

(10,857 posts)When you operate on nothing but bullshit "beliefs" that can change on a whim, because you can't take the time to think a thing through, the only thing that's for sure is that your option is total bullshit one hundred percent of the time.
It might happen to be correct, once in a blue moon, but it's still total bullshit.

The independent investigation into possible ties between Russian efforts to interfere in last years election and associates of President Donald Trump is necessary, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in an interview that aired Monday morning, so that the issue can be put to rest.
The Department of Justice announced last week that former FBI Director Robert Mueller had been appointed as a special prosecutor to oversee the Russia investigation, a move that the president took little time to characterize as the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history. But Haley, visiting Jordan on her first foreign trip as Trumps representative at the U.N., voiced support for Muellers appointment.
I think we absolutely need the investigation, she told NBCs Today show. I think that all these questions need to be answered so that the administration can get back to work.
Haley also responded to a report last week that Trump had shared highly sensitive intelligence with two top Russian diplomats during an Oval Office meeting earlier this month, information that had been provided by a U.S. partner that was considered so secret that even American allies were purportedly not told of it. Haley said she would work to reassure U.S. partners in the Middle East that their secrets remain safe with the Trump administration.

(1,007 posts)That is not what Dump stated on his campaign trail nor during his withdrawal speech.
Most all citizens in the US can understand English quite well. Do not try to embroider on the truth! If he believes in climate warming, than he spoke lies. If he spoke the truth, then he does not believe climate warming.
Why is this so hard to understand?
And why is the truth so hard to be spoken?

Because, if I did believe the vase was valuable and broke it anyway, I did it out of spite and pettiness - and that makes it worse than if I was simply ignorant of the value.

(601 posts)They used to deny the existence of climate change. Then, they acknowledged it but said it wasn't caused or affected by human activity. Now, it seems some admit that humans are exacerbating climate change, but there's nothing we can do about it. I guess they're slowly coming around, LOL.
As far as Nimrata Haley goes, she has ambitions for high office (President, VP or Senate), which is why she took the UN ambassador job. She's trying hard to come off as a "sensible" Republican. Yeah, as if a "moderate Republican" will ever win the GOP primary!
