The need to stop climate change is urgent but Trump relaxes rules that would help

He has labeled climate change a “Chinese hoax”.  He doesn’t care about the future – only how much money businesses can make now as they destroy the environment.  His administration is relaxing policies that help prevent climate change.  Trump withdrew the US from the Paris climate accord.

This report is stark.  We must change our policies but Trump and Republicans won’t even admit the truth about the situation.  They’re too busy polluting the world with coal.

We are almost certainly underestimating the economic risks of climate change

Republican politicians won’t do anything about climate change because it’s a Democratic issue

Many Republicans believe in climate change but since it’s a Democratic issue, they oppose doing anything.  Just like with Trump, putting party before country.

from the article: “Bob Inglis, a former Republican congressman from South Carolina, spoke of his opposition in his first several years in Congress: “All I knew was that Al Gore was for it, and therefore I was against it.”
This implies that if the tables were turned — if Republican politicians proposed a climate policy — Republican voters might support it. In our research, that is exactly what we have found.”
