Trump on climate change

This is pathetic He won’t believe the truth. Trump will do nothing and the whole world will suffer from his inaction and ignorance. Trump will do nothing about the UN report.

Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes presses Trump about his climate change views. He says: "I think something’s happening. Something’s changing – and it’ll change back again. I don't think it's a hoax, I think there's probably a difference. But I don't know that it's man-made." pic.twitter.com/MAIO1gJNKY

Not that this was especially enlightening, but it's wild that this is the first time Trump has been pressed about his ludicrous beliefs about climate change. https://t.co/qhh4NULFXp

President Trump suggests climate scientists have “political agendas” during nationally televised interview. He acknowledged that the climate is changing, but said “it’ll change back.” https://t.co/z7MvoHDzOy

On @60Minutes, Trump continues to reject the scientific consensus that climate change is real and exacerbated by human activity, claiming that scientists have “a very big political agenda.” (He didn’t explain or elaborate on what it is.)

Voter fraud is extremely rare

Democrats fear voter suppression. Republicans fear vote fraud. The data show suppression is widespread; voter fraud is not. George W. Bush’s DoJ studied voter fraud & found it occurs on 0.00000013% of ballots. A recent study found 31 cases out of a billion ballots from 2000-2014.

Nearly half the political appointees hired at EPA under Trump have industry ties. Of the 60+ EPA hires tracked by the AP, about 1/3 worked as registered lobbyists & lawyers for chemical manufacturers, fossil fuel producers or other EPA-regulated companies. https://t.co/rypikAkZ8D

Particulate matter air pollution is particularly harmful because it can reach deep into the lungs, causing pulmonary and respiratory issues. The Trump admin's decision to cut out scientists from the regulatory process will undoubtedly harm public health: https://t.co/clqJzhd8H6
