EPA ending program to prepare for climate change
The Trump regime is halting all efforts to prevent climate change, eliminating programs to monitor climate change, even forbidding agencies from using the phrase climate change. So its only logical that they should also close down the only program directed at helping states deal with the inevitable collision with this freight train theyre not even attempting to slow.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is shutting down a program at its headquarters that helps states and localities adapt to the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels.
Because theres no need to prepare for a Chinese hoax. And also because fighting rising sea levels and changing weather conditions is much easier when it all comes as a surprise.
. . .
To be fair, its not as if Team Trump treats the climate any differently than any other area. When their policy can turn 180 degrees in the space of 24 hours, whats the point of having a strategy? Planning, consistency, and follow-through are for losers who are tied down by facts. Trump is flexible. Or at least flexible when it comes to throwing missiles to prop up his poll numbers.
