The Trump administration escalates its fight against climate science

President Trump has made it clear in the past two years that he sees the climate crisis as something between an inconvenience, a hoax, and a joke, even as his own government issued dire warnings about the impending climate emergency in its National Climate Assessment.

That assessment, which the White House tried to downplay by releasing on Black Friday, has been a thorn in President Trump’s side as he’s continued to implement his fossil-fuel-first agenda.

So, rather than let the federal government release another assessment that runs counter to its stance on energy and the environment, the Trump administration is seeking to limit what is allowed to go in the next report.

This is just part of the “new assault” the Trump administration is launching against environmental policy, the New York Times reported Sunday, by seeking to control the very science climate policies are based on.
