But in the case of sandwich mold, an entire party has special interests pulling the strings and he bends over to comply. He proposes that we don't bother putting sandwiches in the fridge because sandwich mold isn't real and if we put our sandwiches in the fridge we won't be able to compete with China, which doesn't have fridges.

Even if we assume for the sake of argument that anthropogenic global warming is a 100% certainty (and I still think it's unbelievably stupid to trust a group of people who say they can simulate a chaotic system, regardless of how many PhDs they give themselves), so what?
Do you seriously think world leaders will agree to make real cuts in CO2 production when the global economy is even now melting down under a mountain of debt? And even if by some miracle emissions were slashed 25%, how much of an effect do you really think it will have?
Conclusion: if AGW is real, it's baked into the cake already regardless of what Trump, Hillary, or anyone else tries to do.
