>>> PRESIDENT TRUMPMP BELIEVES  
CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX.       
WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE HE HAS SAID
IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.         
>> SO OBAMA IS TALKING ABOUT ALL
OF THIS WITH THE GLOBAL WARMING 
AND THE THAT.                   
A LOT OF IT'S A HOAX.           
IT'S A HOAX.                    
IT'S A MONEY MAKING INDUSTRY,   
OKAY?                           
IT'S A HOAX.                    
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS TWEETED    
CLIMATE CHANGE SKEPTICISM AT    
LEAST 115 TIMES INCLUDING A     
CLAIM THAT THE CONCEPT OF GLOBAL
WARMING WAS CREATED BY AND FOR  
THE CHINESE.                    
SO THE PRESIDENT HAS VERY FIRMLY
ESTABLISHED HIS POSITION ON THE 
ISSUE AND HAS SHOWN NO          
INDICATION THAT HE HAS CHANGED  
THAT POSITION.                  
BUT SINCE THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS 
TEND TO BE MALLEABLE, LET'S SAY,
REPORTERS HAVE BEEN ASKING THE  
PRESIDENT AND HIS AIDES THE SAME
QUESTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN 
LIGHT OF THE PARIS DECISION.    
DOES THE PRESIDENT STILL BELIEVE
CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX?       
>> DO YOU BELIEVE CLIMATE CHANGE
IS A HOAX?                      
>> THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.        
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.            
>> CAN YOU SAY WHETHER OR NOT   
THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES THAT     
HUMAN ACTIVITY IS CONTRIBUTING  
TO THE WARMING OF THE CLIMATE?  
>> HONESTLY, I HAVEN'T ASKED    
HIM.                            
I CAN GET BACK TO YOU.          
>> YES OR NO?                   
DOES THE PRESIDENT BELIEVE THAT 
CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL AND A    
THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES?    
>> YOU KNOW, WHAT'S I INTERESTI 
ABOUT ALL THE DISCUSSIONS WE HAD
THROUGH THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS  
HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON ONE        
SINGULAR ISSUE.                 
IS PARIS GOOD OR NOT FOR THIS   
COUNTRY?                        
THAT'S THE DISCUSSIONS I'VE HAD 
WITH THE PRESIDENT.             
>> I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO THE   
FIRST QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED   
THAT YOU DIDN'T ANSWER.         
DOES THE PRESIDENT BELIEVE TODAY
THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX?  
>> YOU KNOW, I DID ANSWER THE   
QUESTION BECAUSE I SAID THE     
DISCUSSIONS THE PRESIDENT AND I 
HAD HAD OVER THE LAST SEVERAL   
WEEKS HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON ONE  
KEY ISSUE.                      
IS PARIS GOOD OR BAD FOR THIS   
COUNTRY?                        
>> SHOULDN'T YOU BE ABLE TO TELL
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHETHER OR  
NOT THE PRESIDENT STILL BELIEVES
THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX?  
WHERE DOES HE STAND?            
>> AS I INDICATED SEVERAL TIMES 
THROUGH THE PROCESS, THERE'S    
ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH WITH RESPECT
TO THE PARIS AGREEMENT AND      
MAKING AN INFORMED DECISION     
ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE.     
>> WHAT DOES THE PRESIDENT      
ACTUALLY BELIEVE ABOUT CLIMATE  
CHANGE?                         
DOES HE STILL BELIEVE IT'S A    
HOAX?                           
COULD YOU CLARIFY THAT?         
>> I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.        
>> WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU 
TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH  
HIM AND THEN REPORT BACK TO US  
AT THE NEXT BRIEFING?           
>> I IF CAN, I WILL.            
>> I WOULDN'T HOLD MY BREATH ON 
THAT ONE.                       
IN THE ABSENCE OF A NEW ANSWER, 
WE MUST, ALAS, STICK WITH THE   
OLD ONE.                        
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED     
STATES, A NOTED AND CONSISTENT  
PEDDLER OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES  
ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM MILLIONS  
OF ALLEGEDLY ILLEGAL VOTERS TO  
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FORGED BIRTH  
CERTIFICATE AND TED CRUZ'S DAD  
POSSIBLY BEING INVOLVED IN THE  
ASSASSINATION OF JFK ALSO       
BELIEVES THE MOST DANGEROUS AND 
DESTRUCTIVE CONSPIRACY THEORY,  
THE ONE THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS  
MADE UP, I GUESS BY THE CHINESE,
AND THAT ALL THOSE SCIENTISTS   
ACROSS THE WORLD MUST BE IN ON  
IT.                             
SO IS THAT WHY HE PULLED THE    
U.S. OUT OF THE PARIS ACCORD OR 
DI
