Could it possibly be that Trump actually does have an "open mind
about AGW"? Could it be that his scornful dismissal of it was simply a primary election position designed to temporarily mollify his followers, a position which could be easily modified once the election was in the bag?

Perhaps many so-called "Liberal" positions such as massive infrastructure spending, an Obamacare-like health policy, (or for that matter, opening up a diplomatic path to Red China as during the Nixon years), may suddenly become acceptable (or at least, negotiable) now that they are not being promoted by a popular and charismatic Democrat(ic) President.

What's next, a solemn non-aggression pact with Russia?

After all, all Trump REALLY wants is a cut in corporate taxes, minimal government regulation of business, and a union free environment for his capitalist cronies. As far as he's concerned, the climate, like the future, can take care of itself.
