Risen explores whether Trump administration and the new Congress should continue US investment in climate change research. Trump's transition team did not respond to requests for comment, but he has given mixed signals about his views on climate change. In 2012, Trump tweeted that the "concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive." During the heat of the Republican primary in South Carolina, he denounced global warming as a "hoax." In May, he told a North Dakota crowd that he would "cancel the Paris Agreement." Trump then seemed to reverse himself' after the election, telling reporters and editors from the New York Times that "there is some connectivity" between humans and climate change, that "clean air is vitally important" and that he would keep an "open mind" on the international emissions agreement.
