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.

by next year (by the GOP) if he wins, the public will be all about the environment what with solar and wind coming down in price. So he wants to lay out his 'history' for that race. Yes. Pence is one of the founders of the climate movement. What a leader!
