Obama: ‘Troubling to the International Community’ GOP Candidates Doubt Global Warming

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

ALLEN: "I want to continue the 2016 questions. On the Republican side, a lot of your guests were probably very intrigued by the fact that there is a candidate who is calling for a ban on significant -- President Obama: Intrigued is an interesting way of putting it. That's one of my five questions."
OBAMA: "Ron, let's stick to two." 
ALLEN: "In the past, you have explained it's not the cure -- how much responsibility do you except for the reservoir of feeling in the country that is propelling that candidate? A couple weeks ago, you said Donald Trump were not win the presidency. Do you now think you will not win the nomination? And what about Rubio and Cruz?"
OBAMA: "Uh, I think foreign observers are troubled by some of the rhetoric that has been taking place in these Republican primaries and Republican debates. I don't think it is restricted, by the way, to Mr. Trump. I find it interesting that everyone is focused on trump, primarily because he says in more interesting ways what the other candidates are saying as well. He may up the ante in anti-muslim sentiment, but if you look at what other Republican candidates have said, that's pretty troubling, too. He may express strong anti-immigration sentiment, but you heard that from the other candidates as well. You have got a candidate who sponsored a bill that I supported to finally solve immigration problems, and he is running away from it as fast as he can. They are all denying climate change and I think that's troubling to the international community. Since the sciences unequivocal. The other countries around the world count on the United States being on the side of science and reason. And common sense. Because they know if the united States does not act on big problems in smart way, nobody will. But this is not just Mr. Trump. Look at the statements being made by other candidates. There's not a single candidate in the primary that thinks we should do anything about climate change. That thinks that it is serious. That's a problem."
