Thank you, Bernie, for once again illuminating the truth!
Trump's denial of climate change makes him a profound threat, not just to our nation, but to the world if he were to be in a position of great power. And because I can see through someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder in spades, it is clear for me to see his projection - which narcissists do endlessly - of those who stand against the fossil fuel industry and for a fierce and rapid transition to renewables as being about a "money-making industry." He is the profoundly greedy and disturbed neofascist who would take us all down in the blink of an eye if it made him more money. And his chronic self-interest and lack of intellectual curiosity and mind-numbing ignorance dooms him to not even see all the incredible benefits - including jobs! - by making the development of renewables a priority.
I am also flashing on Trump's talk about how he is the one who will get us off a suicidal path. We just have to elect him. However, his belief regarding suicidal actions and belief systems as being outside of himself is yet another projection. He is the one who is immersed in a suicidal path, including the tragic disconnect from his own heart and therefore the hearts of others. Which is the hell that narcissists live in, this complete oblivious lack of connection. The false self he has built up over his lifetime holds the belief that addictively and endlessly building wealth is what makes someone rich.
What I know is that living in connection with one's heart and with consciousness of the Sacred is worth more than all the money in the world. Our true wealth comes from loving one another. And working together to heal ourselves and our world. For the children. For all the children and all the children of all the species of all time to come. That is what makes us rich. Bless us all. ~ Molly

Headline: Trump rejects science that supports the dangers of climate change
Exerpt: Bernie Sanders' statement that Donald Trump believes climate change is a "hoax" is True.
During his speech Monday night, Sanders said, "This election is about climate change, the greatest environmental crisis facing our planet." He said Hillary Clinton is listening to the scientists who warn that, without changes in our energy system, there will be more drought, floods, acidification of the oceans, and rising sea levels.
Trump, on the other hand, "chooses to reject science," Sanders said. "He believes that climate change is a hoax, no need to address it."
A review of Trump speeches and tweets confirms this claim, according to a Politifactinvestigation. On Dec. 30, 2015, Trump said, "Obama's talking about all of this with the global warming and ... a lot of it's a hoax. It's a hoax. I mean, it's a money-making industry, okay? It's a hoax, a lot of it."
In a speech May 26 this year, Trump attacked "draconian climate rules," and advocated rescinding "all the job-destroying Obama executive actions, including the Climate Action Plan," and said he would "cancel the Paris Climate Agreement and stop all payments of U.S. tax dollars to U.N. global warming programs."
Trump's disdain for climate change is reflected in the GOP's 2016 Platform, which reads, in part:
"The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a political mechanism, not an unbiased scientific institution. Its unreliability is reflected in its intolerance toward scientists and others who dissent from its orthodoxy. ... We reject the agendas of both the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, which represent only the personal commitments of their signatories; no such agreement can be binding upon the United States until it is submitted to and ratified by the Senate."
The Platform concludes: "We firmly believe environmental problems are best solved by giving incentives for human ingenuity and the development of new technologies, not through top-down, command-and-control regulations that stifle economic growth and cost thousands of jobs."
