Climate Scientist to Trump: Don’t Give in to Ivanka on Climate Change


It is a well-regarded lie that the scientific community unanimously supports climate change legislation, but that is hardly the case. Not only is there disagreement over the existence of man-made climate change, there is also dissent over the correct way to combat it.

Now, one scientist is urging Trump to stick to his initial plans to remove the US from global climate change treaties.

In an open letter to Donald Trump, climate expert Dr. Duane Thresher has urged the President not to give in to his daughter Ivanka’s misguided views on global warming and her insistence that the U.S. remain in the Paris climate agreement ratified by Barack Obama last August.

“Climate treaties like the Paris Agreement have little to do with climate,” Thresher notes in his letter, which he made available to Breitbart News. “They are about economic competition. As the greatest economy in the history of the world, other countries will do anything to cripple the United States.”

Thresher, who has a PhD in Earth & Environmental Sciences from Columbia University and NASA GISS and worked for years in climate monitoring, says he understands the President’s temptation to listen to his daughter’s advice, but begs him not to give in to that temptation.

“Countries like China will agree to anything in these treaties and simply ignore their obligations while demanding the United States fulfill theirs,” Thresher said, calling belief in global warming a “popular delusion.”

Thresher goes on to say that, should Trump change course on climate change, he would be turning his back on his voter base.

But Trump has remained remarkably consistent in his transition from candidate to president, so these fears may be unfounded. Trump has already rescinded many environmental restrictions put in place by Obama, and the Paris climate agreement may be next.
