NPR: Republican presidential hopefuls dismiss President Barack Obama’s concern over climate change.
Republican presidential hopefuls lashed out at Obama in response. In a post on Instagram, Donald Trump said, “While the world is in turmoil and falling apart in so many different ways, especially with ISIS, our President is worried about global warming. What a ridiculous situation.” Trump also told a Sirius radio host that the president only wants to talk about climate change, adding “We’re like the dummies that everyone laughs at.”
Trump wasn’t alone in accusing Obama of an excessive attention to climate change. Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina told conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham that Obama is focusing on climate change at the expense of other concerns.
