    Original title: Donald Trump tells Prince Charles US has 'clean climate' I added subtitle to this topic title to make it more descriptive.

    I added subtitle to this topic title to make it more descriptive.

    Prince Charles spent 75 minutes longer than scheduled trying to convince Donald Trump of the dangers of global heating, but the president still insisted the US was “clean” and blamed other nations for the crisis.

    He [Trump] said: “I did say, ‘Well, the United States right now has among the cleanest climates there are based on all statistics.’ And it’s even getting better because I agree with that we want the best water, the cleanest water. It’s crystal clean, has to be crystal clean clear.”

    Trump added: “China, India, Russia, many other nations, they have not very good air, not very good water, and the sense of pollution. If you go to certain cities … you can’t even breathe, and now that air is going up … They don’t do the responsibility.”

      I was hoping from the headline that it implied that Mr. Trump at least accepted that there was a crisis, but from the other quotes in the article it seems even that isn't the case. As always,...

      “I believe there’s a change in weather, and I think it changes both ways. Don’t forget, it used to be called global warming, that wasn’t working, then it was called climate change. Now it’s actually called extreme weather, because with extreme weather you can’t miss.”

      As always, extremely disappointing.
