6 Trump Administration Climate Claims Exposed As Total Nonsense By Federal Report

6 Trump Administration Climate Claims Exposed As Total Nonsense By Federal Report

There’s actually no “tremendous disagreement” among federal climate scientists that humans are to blame for accelerated global warming.

Trump’s attack on science isn’t going very well

The first 200 days of the Trump administration have been marked by direct and consistent confrontations with the scientific community, and no area of science has been targeted more explicitly than climate science. The administration has proposed drastic cuts in the budget to federal climate change programs; removed climate-related information from government websites; and refused to renew the appointments of more than 30 members of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Board of Scientific Counselors — including me.

Scientists know that these actions are dangerous to public health, the economy and our national security. Thankfully, some government workers concerned about climate change are pushing back on the administration’s attempts to muzzle them, finally speaking out — or, in some cases, leaking out — against threats to academic freedom.
