"Trump: Climate Change Won't Be ‘Devastating’" [1]

"Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Thursday 'there could be some impact' from a changing climate, 'but I don’t believe it’s a devastating impact.'

In an interview with The Miami Herald, Trump reiterated he’s 'not a big believer in manmade climate change,' and while he acknowledged problems such as rising sea levels, he attributed them to 'a change in weather patterns, and you’ve had it for many years.'

'I would say it goes up, it goes down, and I think it’s very much like this over the years,' he said. 'We’ll see what happens. I mean, we’ll see what happens. ... Certainly, climate has changed.'"
