Trump has supported and donated to several global warming activist organizations.

While Donald Trump claims he will scrap the Paris climate change deal if elected president, he was whistling a different tune just a few years back.

A full-page ad published in the New York Times ahead of the 2009 climate talks in Copenhagen, Denmark, featured a letter signed by company CEOs urging global leaders to reach an aggressive deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the signers of the ad was none other than Trump, reports the Grist.org.

“If we fail to act now, it is scientifically irrefutable that there will be catastrophic and irreversible consequences for humanity and our planet,” the letter read.

The ad, also signed by Trump’s adult children, backed Congress passing a comprehensive bill to address climate change.

“We support your effort to ensure meaningful and effective measures to control climate change, an immediate challenge facing the United States and the world today,” the letter urges Congress and the president. “Please allow us, the United States of America, to serve in modeling the change necessary to protect humanity and our planet.”

Grist also reports that Trump has supported climate activist organizations and includes a letter it obtained showing Trump donated $5,000 to the group Protect Our Winters.

The group is a climate advocacy nonprofit for skiers and snowboarders. A contestant on Trump’s reality show “Celebrity Apprentice” had requested that he support the group.
