SNIPPET:

As the Trump Administration prepares to decimate the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), scientific agencies are tying February’s warmth to climate change.

With record temperatures like the 99° seen in the EPA Administrator’s home state of Oklahoma, there have been 2,805 record highs this month across the US. For much of the winter, the Arctic has been 40° above normal and another huge glacier is breaking off Antarctica – if the whole thing goes it will add 2 feet of sea level rise. About half of the coral is dead in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and over 100 million trees have died in the US West.


And now we have a president and his cabinet who either deny the existence of climate change or don’t know if it’s caused by humans. “Leave it to the scientists” is often the new catch phrase – we couldn’t agree more!

Just don’t cut those scientists out of the budget! And stop deleting the words “climate change” from federal websites like the State Department, EPA and Energy Department.
