Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would look to renegotiate the landmark United Nations climate change deal if he’s elected president this year. The deal, reached in Paris in December and signed by the United States last month, treats the U.S. unfairly compared to other countries, he told Reuters in a wide-ranging interview. Under the agreement, the United States committed to cutting its emissions by 26 percent to 28 percent, from 2005 levels, by 2025. Republicans, though, have criticized the pact, since growing economies like India and China have agreed only to slow the rate of growth in their emissions, not reduce them in real terms. Trump said in December he would have skipped the climate conference in Paris, and he has said he doesn’t believe the science behind climate change.

Earth climate has been changing literally for millions of years.  Recently, global warming brought about the end of an ice age.  But virtually none of it has anything whatsoever to do with human activity.  Few things could be more obvious.

100% of scientist agree with all that, most are trying to ease the rate a bit
