The US administration continues to reject sound science in its policy making as well as pass on more and more responsibilities and liabilities to the states and individuals.
The US administration now believes costs of researching and fighting climate change are far greater than benefits ensuing from them, according to The NY Times App.
This is bewildering to comprehend as increasing temperatures are causing increasing in intensity and frequency weather events, including wildfires and floods.
Protections against climate change over 50 years in the making are under attack by this administration and as a result weakening significantly.
Climate change and the built environment contribute to increased flooding and incidences of wildfires. As the Earth warms up due to fossil-fueled climate change, flooding and fires become increasingly destructive.
