"The president used a large chunk of his speech to world leaders to condemn climate science and clean energy policies."

"President Donald Trump rebuked world leaders for being overly concerned about climate change during a speech to the United Nations in which he called global warming a “con job.”

Trump, who spoke for nearly an hour at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, argued that renewable energy such as wind and solar are a “scam” that should be eliminated. He urged nations instead to buy more American oil and gas, while also increasing nuclear energy.

“I’m really good at predicting things,” Trump said. “I don’t say that in a braggadocios way, but it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.”"
