Even Steve Bannon Thinks Trump's Latest Climate Change Plan Is Too Extreme
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/05/even-...oo-extreme
When it comes to taking on climate change science, the administration is just getting started.
Beyond changing the methodology of the National Climate Assessment, the Trump administration is planning to go even further by creating a climate change review panel that, the Times reports, would “question [the assessment's] conclusions.”
Heading that panel, which was first reported on in February, would be National Security Council member and former Princeton University physicist William Happer, a vehement climate change denier who once said the “demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor Jews under Hitler.” “Happer would be a fringe figure even for climate skeptics,” U.S. Navy Rear Adm. David Titley, a professor of methodology at Penn State, told the Associated Press in February.
Monday's Times report reflected the latest instance of the Trump administration's newest environmental strategy, which mandates that without scientific evidence to back their anti-environmental actions up, it's better just to change the evidence altogether.
Earlier in May, the administration responded to an E.P.A. analysis that found Trump-imposed air pollution rules would cause 1,400 premature deaths each year by simply changing the way that it calculates the health risks of air pollution, which would get the deaths off their disclosure forms without actually preventing any of them from happening.
But the changing tide toward climate change action is unlikely to influence Trump, a president who's long proved averse on climate change discussions and still (falsely) believes that cold weather disproves global warming. “Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold,” the president tweeted in January. “Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!”
