The timing of the interview came as the Trump administration continues to roll back Obama-era environmental regulations.

, states will continue to have the ability to set their own limit for coal power plant emissions—a move that roiled some environmental groups.

Pence continued:"But what we won't do is hamstring energy in this country, raising the cost of utility rates for working families." "But it is a threat?" Tapper interjected once more. The exchange continued, with Tapper eventually asking Pence on at least four separate occasions whether he believed climate change posed a threat to the United States. Each time, Pence refused to give a committal answer. rule, which will replace the Obama-era Clean Power Plan, marked another instance in which the Trump administration has sought to undo the environmental regulations proposed by its predecessor.

But environmental groups say the aggressive Obama plan was necessary to curb the effects of a global climate crisis. Those organizations——have characterized the new Trump plan as a"weak" measure designed to minimally adhere to clean air laws.

He is the king of weaseling. It is just sad to watch him anymore.

The VP Disagrees with DeptofDefense TheLeadCNN Climate Change is a NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT

He needs to ask his wife first

Hmmmmm perhaps the DeptofDefense should do another briefing.......

VP knows the climate crisis is a threat.

To busy kissing trump's behind

When you clearly know something is right but have no gut to say it because you still have a chance for the second term in office.

What do you expect? By the time climate change truly starts killing people, his old, privileged, and rich butt will be long dead. Like most of the naysayers. Old rich people don't care as long as they continue getting richer.

Morons, idiots, deniers

Because it is not a 'threat'. tan123

Real headline: Mike Pence avoided answering whether he thinks.

Good to hear

Which means he believes it is a threat but is afraid his supporters will abandon him if he acknowledges the truth they refuse to see.

Listen to these scientists from all over the world in this UK documentary. You may learn something about climate change you didn't know.

Weak little man.

Ask China if climate change is a “threat” The US could spend $Trillions to “fix” the climate & China would keep dumping trash in the oceans & polluting the air 15 times more so than the US does today. I’m curious where all this mythical money will come from to fix everything?

The pattern we will see more & more from the deniers as the climate change barrels down on us all.

Best water and air...

Mike probably has to check in with his Boss before he can comment on Anything like That...

Idiot.

Just blowing in the wind. VP Pence stands for nothing and has no spine.

Please explain how increasing taxes on 4% of the world's population will change the climate.

At one point this month in Ohio we was thinking this..it never stop damn raining

Told what to think, he has no mind of his own. Told what to believe, told to play straight, told to say what drumpf wants, he's filled with sawdust. Just a puppet of a man. A parrot.

And then Jake played the tape of POTUS backing away from a 2024 endorsement. Damn, it hurts when that bus runs over you.

Like many subjects, science is beyond his reach.

Because he thinks Jesus will take care of it, him and mother will be just fine

Pence is a coward wimp!

Pence is not accustomed to telling the truth. It’s against his basic nature.

Why bother interviewng ANY of Trump’s men (fahgedaboud women). Lying bloodsuckers, ALL.

Pence is such a terrible lier...

Pence is a white bread mush brain with mayonnaise.

He's avoided more than that question. As Vice President there are many things he's avoided. He's lurking behind Trump, awaiting his turn to drive the ship. He UNDERSTANDS the GAME. He's playing his position in hopes that the Republican 'base' rewards him.

Charlatan Pence! The worse representation of the U.S.

Pence is a fucking IDOIT

Trump: 'Surprise' question about Pence led him to hesitatePresident Donald Trump says he hesitated to back a possible 2024 presidential run by Vice President Mike Pence because he was caught off-guard by the question. Given a chance at a do-over, however, Trump still did not endorse his loyal lieutenant. 'You can't put me in that position,' Wow, the POTUS has a way with words. You'd have to be a pretty good sport to endorse a competitor Stoke infighting...
