Rolling Stone recently carried this opinion piece:

TRUMP WANTS TO CONVINCE THE WORLD THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS A GOOD THING

The president, who regularly attacks renewable energy, is apparently ready to argue that climate change would benefit humans

By THOR BENSON
MARCH 31, 2025

Windmills cause cancer. They’re killing birds and whales. Electric vehicles don’t work. Have you heard about the electric sharks? Climate change is a hoax. There are many things Donald Trump has said about climate change and renewable energy that are difficult to make sense of, but Trump’s newest line on climate change is both dumbfounding and truly dangerous: He is now determined to convince the world that climate change is a good thing.

Trump has certainly downplayed the effects of climate change in the past. He’s claimed rising sea levels will create more beachfront property, which would seem to be a misunderstanding of how land works. He’s talkedabout how people would actually be happy if it was a little warmer outside. Even Trump adviser Elon Musk, who runs an EV company, has downplayedthe threat of climate change in recent months.

Now, Trump is aiming to use the power of the federal government to reframe climate change as something that will benefit humanity.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
