"he’ll tell the president that 'on most issues having to do with climate change, he’s absolutely right.'" Any idea what those might be? The article says what they are toward the end: “Even though President Trump has proclaimed publicly that he doesn’t believe in global warming,” Muller says, “his pro-nuclear and pro-natural-gas stands, particularly if they serve as examples for the developing world, will likely do far more to reduce future growth in global warming than anything in the Paris treaty.” Muller is no Al Gore. His nonprofit seems to downplay the responsibility of the U.S. in fighting global warming and says on its website that existing initiatives “ignore the dominant role that China, India, and the rest of the developing world will play in future emissions.“ His group states in a publication that global warming “may have some positive aspects.” Asked to elaborate, Muller cites physicist William Happer’s claims that an increase in carbon dioxide can benefit agriculture. (At least two federal reports disagree.) Muller also remains skeptical about more general climate change arguments, such as claims by many in the scientific community that it can cause extreme weather.
