The NY Times posts a pice which breaks down how the Trump admin is actually working to get rid of any Obama admin efforts to deal with climate change on a federal level….
In addition?
The Trump admin is also working to separate America from helping other nations deal with their efforts against climate change…
They ARE in it for the short game…..
President Trump has rolled back environmental regulations, pulled the United States out of the Paris climate accord, brushed aside dire predictions about the effects of climate change, and turned the term “global warming” into a punch line rather than a prognosis.
Now, after two years spent unraveling the policies of his predecessors, Mr. Trump and his political appointees are launching a new assault.
In the next few months, the White House will complete the rollback of the most significant federal effort to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, initiated during the Obama administration. It will expand its efforts to impose Mr. Trump’s hard-line views on other nations, building on his retreat from the Paris accord and his recent refusal to sign a communiqué to protect the rapidly melting Arctic region unless it was stripped of any references to climate change.
And, in what could be Mr. Trump’s most consequential action yet, his administration will seek to undermine the very science on which climate change policy rests…..
This is a perfect example of what I have been talking about.How the so called “conservative movement “ has no real philosophical basis anymore and is nothing more than “anti librul.”
There is no real debate anymore in the scientific community about the issue(although “conservatives” have,of late , been engaged in some kind of weird anti science deal) .
So intense though is the idea amongst the Trumpite “conservatives” that anything “librul.”(scientists are now lumped into this all encompassing slang term) must be opposed that facts no longer matter to them.
It just must be opposed.
I’d add that ANYTHING with Obama’s fingerprints on it IS a target for the Trump people….
