Trump acknowledges climate change — at his golf course
The billionaire, who called global warming a hoax, warns of its dire effects in his company's application to build a sea wall.

Donald Trump says he is “not a big believer in global warming.” He has called it “a total hoax,” “bull****” and “pseudoscience.”
But he is also trying to build a sea wall designed to protect one of his golf courses from “global warming and its effects.”
The New York billionaire is applying for permission to erect a coastal protection works to prevent erosion at his seaside golf resort, Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Ireland, in County Clare.
A permit application for the wall, filed by Trump International Golf Links Ireland and reviewed by POLITICO, explicitly cites global warming and its consequences — increased erosion due to rising sea levels and extreme weather this century — as a chief justification for building the structure.
The zoning application raises further questions about how the billionaire developer would confront a risk he has publicly minimized but that has been identified as a defining challenge of this era by world leaders, global industry and the American military. His public disavowal of climate science at the same time he moves to secure his own holdings against the effects of climate change also illustrates the conflict between his political rhetoric and the realities of running a business with seaside assets in the 21st century.
“It's diabolical," said former South Carolina Republican Rep. Bob Inglis, an advocate of conservative solutions to climate change. “Donald Trump is working to ensure his at-risk properties and his company is trying to figure out how to deal with sea level rise. Meanwhile, he’s saying things to audiences that he must know are not true. … You have a soft place in your heart for people who are honestly ignorant, but people who are deceitful, that’s a different thing.”
Neither Trump’s spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, nor Alan Garten, the general counsel of the Trump Organization, the umbrella company for Trump’s business ventures, responded to requests for comment.

Be honest. You've been just WAITING to post this.
Oh look. You know how to post silly and irrelevant bs.
Good for you!

I am not a fan of Trump but usually when people talk about climate change they are talking about man made climate change.They might just say global warming or just climate change but they are usually talking about man made climate change.

Yawn.... zzzzzzz.... Yet another nothing burger.
It doesn't matter what Trump believes. It only matters what the approver believes. If the approver has a checklist that says global warming is a valid reason for a sea wall, and you have a property on the sea that needs protecting, then that is what you put down on the form.
Lets move on now. I am sure there is another barrel that needs its bottom scraped.
Oh look. More silly irrelevant bs. Figures.You taught me well Obi-Wan.

Yes!
Hilarious. It demonstrates no such thing.How can something that demonstrates without a shadow of doubt that he is dishonest and self centered not be relevant in a presidential campaign.
Oh look. More silly irrelevant bs. Figures.
No he didn't.Donald Trump takes a position one day and a completely separate position in private on the next day.
No he didn't.
Oh look. More silly irrelevant bs. Figures.
