White House isn't just wrong about climate change, it's proven wrong about climate change - robkelk - 08-10-2017
Canadian co-author of U.S. climate report says findings 'flatly contradict' Trump administration
Quote:The report, written by scientists from 13 federal agencies, concludes that the United States is already feeling the effects of climate change, with a stark increase in the frequency of heat waves, heavy rains and other extreme weather over the last four decades.No bets on whether it's going to get that approval.--
The report is now awaiting approval from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

And apparently, there are orders regarding the use of certain phrases, including climate change. Instead, they're to use the phrase 'weather extremes' and 'resilience to weather extremes'
This goes from climate change scepticism to outright denial, in the style of sticking their fingers in their ears and going 'LA-LA-LA!'

I am thankful that as it currently is, it is part of the public record. If the administration rejects it, it's still public record (until they start "improving history" through book-burning and other overt censorship).
