Gore Discusses Climate Policy in ‘Productive’ Meeting With Trump

It’s unclear if their conversation was impromptu; Gore was in Trump Tower to discuss climate issues with Ivanka Trump, the next president’s daughter, who is reportedly interested in the topic.

As someone who denies the issue (remember that Tweet?) and surrounds himself with big climate change conspirators, Trump heading up one of the most powerful and influential countries in the world is a scary prospect.

Gore told reporters, “It was a honest search for areas of common ground”. She was also in attendance during the president-elect’s conversation with President Mauricio Macri of Argentina. ‘It was a honest search for areas of common ground’.

Reacting to Gore’s comments today on “CNN’s Erin Burnett Outfront”, Stein said that “I find it odd, I’m not sure I believe it, I don’t know what’s going on”.

It certainly wasn’t a meeting anyone expected after Donald Trump called the idea of man-made climate “a hoax” on the campaign trail.

ALEXANDER: Ivanka, whose father formerly dismissed climate change as a hoax, recently discussed the issue with Leonardo Dicaprio.

Donald Trump also wrote, “While I am not mandated to do this under the law, I feel it is visually important, as president, to in no way have a conflict of interest with my various businesses”.

The bid to reach Ivanka comes from a belief that she is the most reasonable among Trump’s children, most of whom have expressed the same unsafe and flip-flopping views of their dad. But it seems that Gore actually felt better after his meeting with Trump, indicating that there may be some hope in the world after all.

Mr Trump’s pro-jobs deregulation and energy agenda, as well as his views on climate change, have long anxious environmental groups. That happened after the two appeared together in Miami for a speech on climate change in October.

He spent about 90 minutes inside, first with Ivanka Trump, then with her father.

All three of Mr Trump’s mature kids are serving on his transition team.

That warning came amid Trump campaign speeches calling on the United States to drop out of last year’s global climate accord signed in Paris to lower carbon emissions blamed for a warming planet.
