Seriously. I didn't do much link hunting, and this is the link I found.
Maryland
Trump's right...for the wrong reasons.
Maryland's climate has changed during our lifetimes. Not for the better. Despite being further north, most of Maryland, like the Hump of Virginia, always used to enjoy warmer weather than we get out here on the Point. During my lifetime this changed; suburban Maryland's weather went from being mostly-enjoyably warmer to being unpleasantly hotter. And yes, the oil and gas companies did contribute to this.
But they did so with complete collusion from Marylanders. Every green field that was paved to make a parking lot around a "tower" building made Maryland hotter. The people who sold family farms to eager "developers" changed Maryland's climate. So did the advocates of bigger government who brought more people to Washington. So, most of all, did the people who chose to stay in the suburbs of Washington while the local planners worked on ways to increase population density.
Densely populated areas are hotter. Anyone who is still there, resisting plans to downsize DC and move back to a family farm in Kansas or Ohio or wherever, is causing climate change in Maryland. If you live or work in a "tower," you're the problem. So Trump is absolutely right to tell Marylanders to sue themselves.
If only he were thinking about the science, and not only the money...
