Does Trump believe in climate change?
by Dave Winer Tuesday, September 27, 2016

People are discussing, of course, missed opportunities by Hillary in last night's debate. So far I haven't heard anyone mention this one, and I think it would have been huge.

I'm paraphrasing.

Clinton (actual): He thinks climate change is a hoax.

Trump (actual): Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Clinton went off in another direction.

Instead she could have said:

Clinton (hypothetical): Hold on. I think you just said you believe in climate change!

Trump (hypothetical): Uhhh, well ummm.

At that point you have Trump clearly on the record saying he believes in climate change along with a soundbite from Clinton calling him out on it.

As it stands right now, however, Trump is on the record saying (subject to spin of course) that it's wrong to say he thinks climate change is a hoax. That's still something.

Update: The press must have picked up on this already! Yesss.
