Donald Trump’s controversial views on climate change and global warming over the years, compiled from multiple sources, including posts on X (formerly Twitter), interviews, and news portals.
2010 “With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore…”
2012 "It's freezing and snowing in New York -- we need global warming!”
2013 "It's freezing outside, where the hell is 'global warming'??”
2014 "Just out - the POLAR ICE CAPS are at an all time high, the POLAR BEAR population has never been stronger. Where the hell is global warming?” “The weather has been so cold for so long that the global warming HOAXSTERS were forced to change the name to climate change to keep $ flow!”
2015 "I believe in clean air. Immaculate air. But I don't believe in climate change.” “I’m not a believer in global warming, I’m not a believer in man-made global warming.”
2016 "Well, I think the climate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax. A lot of people are making a lot of money. I know much about climate change. I'd be—received environmental awards.”
2017 “In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!”
2018 "I don't think there's a hoax. I do think there's probably a difference. But I don't know that it's man-made... I don't wanna give trillions and trillions of dollars."
2019 "Climate change is very important to me. I've done many environmental impact statements in my life, and I believe very strongly in very, very crystal clear clean water and clean air."
2020 “Nothing’s a hoax about that. It’s a very serious subject. I’m a big believer in that word, the environment.”
2024 "When people talk about global warming, I say the ocean is going to go down 100th of an inch within the next 400 years. That’s not our problem,"
2024 "You use the word ‘global warming,’ and today they use the word ‘climate change,’ because, you know, you have some places that go up, so they were getting themselves in a little trouble with the word ‘global warming,’ because not every place is warming. Some places are going the opposite direction.”
