It’s well-known at this point that Donald Trump and the people that he surrounds himself with are prominent deniers of man-made climate change. The recent purging of the Environmental Protection Agency’s website of any mention of man’s contribution to the worsening state of the planet’s climate reflects this stance. Now, more than ever, climate experts need to speak out.
When visiting the EPA’s website, users will still find mention of climate change, but not the crucial details that they would need to keep in mind. Basically, every mention of humanity’s contribution to the global event is being slowly removed with every update, Futurism reports.
This is a clear effort by the Trump administration to control the conversation with regards to the impact of human activity on the environment, which isn’t too hard. After all, the head of the EPA is Scott Pruitt, a man who is famous for denouncing the agency and its efforts to protect the environment.
Pruitt has repeatedly denied the claims by scientists that humans have had a huge role in accelerating the changes in the Earth’s weather patterns via greenhouse gasses. Regardless of the fact that as much as 97 percent of the world’s experts agree that man-made climate change is real, the current EPA head has kept telling the media that it’s still up for debate.
Speaking of the media, it is precisely the industry’s efforts to keep up the appearance of being fair and balanced that is completely skewing the conversation. They simply feature far too many climate change deniers too often, leaving actual experts in the cold. This is why climate scientists are now speaking out in increasing numbers to combat the effects of the slanted views on the issues.
In a recent interview, climate scientists Dr. Kevin Trenberth and Dr. Brian Toon at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO gave their two cents about climate change. They even commented on the clear cognitive dissonance occurring within the greater public. The pair also shared details on what humanity can do to mitigate the impact of the growing problem.
