In speech to U.N., Trump blasts climate change as “con job”

At the United Nations this past week, President Trump unleashed a blistering tirade against climate change. Donald Trump has long been a critic of climate science and green energy policies and he let loose during his address to the U-N General Assembly. He sharply criticized the European Union for reducing its carbon footprint, which he claimed has taken a toll on its economy, and warned countries that have invested heavily in renewable energy that their economies will suffer.
