Donald Trump’s running mate Mike Pence now says that there’s “no question” humans are impacting climate change
Donald Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, appear to be taking opposing stances on the nature of climate change.
“Well, look, there’s no question that the activities that take place in this country and in countries around the world have some impact on the environment and some impact on climate,” Pence told CNN’s Chris Cuomo.
During Monday night’s presidential debate, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton had criticized repeated claims by her Republican rival, Trump, that climate change is a hoax “created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”
Pence’s acknowledgement of human contribution to climate change is not only at odds with his running mate, but contradicts statements that he has made in the past.
