President Donald Trump was not alone on Nov. 26, when he dismissed the findings of a congressionally mandated report on climate change. Environment and energy experts from three prominent think tanks agree that the report was prepared by politically motivated holdovers from the Obama administration and is based on bad science and flawed models.
The report, prepared by more than a dozen government departments and agencies, forecasts that the United States stands to lose billions of dollars if it continues with current environmental policies. The report asserts that unless drastic measures are taken, the effects of climate change will harm humans, limit water availability, damage infrastructure, and alter coastlines.
