Edit: Damn. I think OP was being sarcastic. A quick look through the comment history shows a different view than the one expressed in the comment. I removed the downvote.

---Original comment---

Here's why I downvoted you:

- It doesn't matter if the water is clean or dirty because that's not what's causing climate change.

- The United States was the second largest emitter of carbon dioxide in 2015. CO2 is a leading cause of climate change.

- The term "bigly" is often used by people who are proud of their ignorance. Ignorance isn't something to be proud of.

The term "bigly"...

...might also be a marker of sarcasm here.

I also think it was sarcasm, but I agree it was not nicely done.
Thanks! I think you're right. I edited my comment.
You're right but it's a reference to Mike Pence saying it a few weeks ago.
I genuinely expected it to be Trump quote. Is it not? It looks like one.
