Blaming Trump for climate change is ‘ironic’ given two per cent emissions reduction | Sky News AustraliaEnvironmental policy expert Michael Shellenberger says it is completely unscientific and “crazy talk” to suggest temperatures rise and forests burn because Donald Trump is the president.\n\nMr Shellenberger said it’s ironic how climate activists level blame upon President Donald Trump for climate change when emissions are “lower now than when he took office”.\n\n“They declined two per cent last year”.\n\nHe said it’s a crazy notion to suggest Donald Trump is responsible for the current Californian wildfires given it takes “30 years or more for the carbon dioxide to translate to warming”.\n\n“It’s so unscientific and yet it’s clearly been given a pass because the media has been so bias on this because they hate Trump so much,” Mr Shellenberger said.\n\n“They basically want to ascribe every natural disaster, every fire on him.\n\n“It’s really the state’s fault that you have this huge accumulation of wood fuel, Donald Trump doesn’t have anything to do with that.”\n

Trump confirms he will nominate a woman to Supreme Court | Sky News AustraliaWATCH FULL RALLY: President Donald Trump has confirmed he will pick a woman to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court during a raucous rally in the key swing state of North Carolina.\n\n“It will be a woman, a very talented, very brilliant woman,'President Trump said.\n \n'We haven’t chosen yet, but we have numerous women on the list.”\n\nJustice Ginsburg died aged 87 due to complications from pancreatic cancer, almost three decades since she was appointed to the Supreme Court by the then-president Bill Clinton in 1993.\n\nShe became a liberal icon after providing key votes in landmark rulings securing equal rights for women, expanding gay rights and safeguarding abortion rights, and she received tributes and recognition from across the political spectrum at home and abroad following her death.\n\nThat legacy is now in doubt if President Trump nominates her successor, with the makeup of the Supreme Court skewing to a 6-3 conservative majority.\n\nCircuit Court Judge Amy Coney Barrett is considered the frontrunner to fill the vacant seat.\n\nShe is an avowed social conservative and fervently anti-abortion, putting the future of Roe v Wade in doubt.\n\nDuring the rally, President Trump also castigated Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris over her role in the contentious role in the nomination of Justice Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.\n\nSenator Harris made headline for her tough questions to Justice Kavanaugh over his record on abortion and voting rights.\n \n“Nobody was ever ruder,” President Trump said. “Nobody ever suffered like Justice Kavanaugh suffered in the hands and the mouths of those horrible people.”
