Since the election, the science community has been grappling with a bleak question: Would Donald Trump — occasional climate change denier, anti-vaccination flirt, and conspiracy theorist — be the “most anti-science” president we’ve ever had?
This week, we got a better sense of what his science policy is going to look like. The series of actions that unfolded reveal an administration, and a Republic-controlled Congress, with little regard for scientific consensus and expertise swinging at President Obama’s environmental legacy.
Here’s a recap.
1) An executive order with a clear message: climate change doesn’t matter
The big news this week: President Trump signed a long-anticipated executive order rolling back many Obama-era climate policies. While it doesn’t pull the United States out of the Paris agreement, it will make it a lot harder for the country to meet emissions reduction goals. Vox’s Brad Plumer has the best summary of what the order does — and cannot do. He explains the executive order’s eight big changes:
- Roll back the Clean […]

FFS, man, I try my best to be civil and diplomatic in comments, but you are seriously losing your mind.
The blatant ignorance of science and physiology that you demonstrate by copy/pasting this misinformed nonsense is why–I hate to break it to you–a growing number of people lump rightwingers into one single group of delusional loons.
Y’all read something, it solidifies your already tilted ideology, and you parrot it…without doing thorough, independently verified research into a subject or claim. It is a bizarre and sad thing to witness. Kneejerk reactionaries are not an asset to a society, they are a liability.
Golden Seal Root is what I take when flu season comes around, because the vaccines all make me sick, but the G.S.R. works every year and is the most natural way to prevent the flu that I know of. My wife was getting sick and had a sore throat a couple of weeks ago and I gave her the Golden Seal Root and she was all better in 4 days, with no doctor visits or expensive drugs.
