As reported in the New York Times today, King Trump and his Court have fired all scientists and writers working on the next Climate Report, which is published every few years to document the progression of Global Warming. His Director of the Office of Management and Budget characterized the report as "alarmist."
Demonstrating both the ignorance and the political approach of the Trump Administration, such a decree plays to the MAGA base while ignoring the significant and justified concerns of most Americans. No doubt, Trump will once again withdraw from the International Climate Accord as well.
Meanwhile, destructive weather events, rising sea levels and severe droughts plague countries across the globe. But the King could care less about such disasters, having already cut Federal funding for FEMA. Concentrating on various sources of personal grift, climate change does not cross his mind; after all, the wealthy are always relatively immune to the effects of both natural and human-induced catastrophes.
