Trump's Climate Denial: Altering Research and Withdrawing from Paris Pact
The US government, under the Trump administration, has been changing how it talks about climate change.
They removed the website for important climate reports and are planning to update them.
This is concerning because some officials don't believe climate change is a big deal.
The government has also withdrawn from the Paris Pact, a global agreement to fight climate change, and is downplaying scientific research.
Some reports from the government even say that carbon dioxide is good for the planet, without mentioning the bad effects of extreme weather events.
The Trump administration dismissed scientists working on the National Climate Assessment (NCA) and removed its website.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced updates to NCA studies, raising concerns due to his climate skepticism.
Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Pact and suppressed scientific research during his first term.
The administration weaponized budget cuts and made climate denial part of its mandate.
A Department of Energy report downplayed the climate crisis and emphasized the positive effects of carbon dioxide.
