"Campaign 2016: Greens Eye Trump's Rise With 'Amusement And Horror'"

"Donald Trump has called global Warming 'Bullshit,' Demanded Al Gore be stripped of his Nobel Peace Prize and enraged environmentalists around the world by supplanting ecosystems with luxury golf courses.

Trump's polarizing views on immigration, comments about Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain's war record and public release of his rival's cellphone number have dominated media coverage of the 2016 GOP presidential contender lately. But Trump's environmental views have inflamed critics in the past. And now that the brash billionaire is leading the Republican field in recent polls, some greens are alarmed.

'Environmentalists, like others, are watching Mr. Trump with a mix of amusement and horror as he attempts to verbally blast his way to the White House,' said Daniel Weiss, senior vice president for campaigns at the League of Conservation Voters. 'Trump has repeatedly denied climate science, which is bad news for coastal dwellers, farmers, kids and millions of other Americans should he become president.'"
