Trump's administration are masters at obfuscation. I think they should get recognized for being good at something.
So rather than deal with the facts of climate change, they will continue to argue that the science is unproven, is based on some extreme models, or is up for debate - that every scientist is not in agreement.
Today's Washington Post's PowerPost article, reported that the acting administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Andrew Wheeler, said ""Going forward, I think we need to take a look at the modeling that's used for the next assessment" referring to the climate report released last Friday, November 23. BBC News reported "Trump on climate change report: 'I don't believe it.'" Sara Hucklebee Sanders said the The Fourth National Climate Assessment was “not based on
facts” and arguing that modeling the climate “is never exact.”
For anyone that gets sucked into a debate on whether climate change is real or based on man's impact, I recommend the book "A Global Warming Primer" by Jeffrey Bennett. I just started reading it, but already plan on buying two copies. One for my reference shelf, and one to lend out to anyone who has doubts that climate change has been impacted by burning fossil fuels.
Why do I like this book? Because Mr. Bennett keeps his explanations based on simple facts and laws of physics. He also does a good job with illustrations and making analogies to explain his points and does not "dumb down" the points. The entire book is laid out in a question & answer format.
If you have ever been frustrated when discussing climate change to nonbelievers, this book will help you organize your thoughts and explanations.
I won't lend my copy of the book to someone who insists that climate change is
natural or cyclical. I'm afraid that nothing will persuade them. But if I ever have the opportunity to speak to the president, or his administration, I
will send them to http://www.globalwarmingprimer.com/primer/primer1/ - the entire book is online - maybe they will read it.)
