Marc Morano, publisher of Climate Depot, says he does not believe MSNBC’s claim many of the Republican candidates are changing their views on climate change is accurate.

“Let’s start with Trump,” Morano said. “He has not backed away from anything. He made some really silly comments about climate, about how China started it and mocking AGW when it snows, and now [he] sounds perfectly nuanced and sound on the issue.”

“I don’t see a shift in Trump,” Morano said.

“Rubio has been a deer in the headlights when it comes to climate change … He makes a reasonable skeptical statement and then seems to back away,” Morano said.

Morano says Cruz has always been the strongest critic of climate alarmism.

“Cruz is the most well-versed and the strongest candidate who understands global warming issues,” Morano said.

“So the Republican presidential candidates have not really softened their skepticism on global warming,” Morano said. “This is a warmist-mainstream media created narrative [that is] not backed up by facts.”

Rubio: 'But as far as a law that we can pass in Washington to change the weather, there's no such thing.'

Marco Rubio: "I say, ‘OK, if we pass this bill how many feet of sea rise will it prevent?’ Well, it won’t prevent any sea rise. ‘OK, well how many degrees of temperature will it avoid going up?’ Well, it won’t do that either."

'Morano says climate has never been a huge issue for either of the Clintons, or for President Obama when Mrs. Clinton was his secretary of state. But according to Moreno, things changed when John Kerry took the Cabinet spot.' As secretary of state, she did nothing compared to what John Kerry is doing," he tells OneNewsNow. "[He] has turned secretary of state into the 'Secretary of Climate.'
