Donald Trump wants the Nobel Committee to strip former Vice President Al Gore of his Nobel Peace Prize.
The New York Post reports that the billionaire told a country club crowd of 500 that recent snow storms on the east coast prove that Gore is wrong about global warming:
"With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore."
And
"Gore wants us to clean up our factories... when China and other countries couldn't care less... China, Japan and India are laughing at America's stupidity."
"The Donald" did not include Vancouver's unseasonably warm temperatures and lack of snow in his weather observations.
After last week's record-breaking storms, many scientists went to great lengths to explain that the storms do not disprove climate change. Some even believe that climate change contributed to the storms.
Last Friday, another billionaire, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, went after climate change deniers and explained that climate change and CO2 emissions pose a huge threat to people everywhere.
In 2009, Forbes ranked Bill Gates as the richest American with a net worth of $50 billion. Donald Trump ranked 158 on the same list, with a significantly smaller net worth of $2 billion.

So Bill Gates is richer, so his opinion means more than Trump's. That is your obvious implication. Jeez, what a hypocrite. But hilarious to anybody paying attention.
I'm not implying anything the point of the story was Donald Trump echoing the same tired old bs the right wing have been saying for the past week.
If Donald Trump actually took time to look up the science of climate change than play tv host to a bunch of D-list celbs he would know the facts.
