Wind turbines cause cancer. They kill birds and whales. Electric vehicles do not work. Have you heard of the electrohaien? Climate change Is a dizziness. There are many things that Donald Trump has said about climate change and renewable energies that are difficult to understand. But Trump’s latest statement on climate change is both amazing and really dangerous. He is now determined to convince the world that climate change is a good thing.
Trump has certainly downplayed the effects of climate change in the past. He claimed that the increase in sea level would create more properties near the beach. What a misunderstanding seems to be functioning from land. He said that People were actually happy if it were a little warmer outside. Even Trump consultant Elon Musk, who heads a company for electric vehicles, has the threat from climate change in the past few months downplayed.
Now Trump wants to use the power of the federal government. To present climate change as something that benefits humanity.
“Effects of climate change overrated”
Reports Trump endeavors that Hazard The environmental protection authority of 2009, in which it was found that greenhouse gases are a danger to public health and the common good. To downplay the negative effects of climate change. He is working on decimating the reporting on the climate in general. He also wants to create confusion by having national climate evaluation. The one of Climate eggs It was written that the argument that the effects of climate change are overestimated. Or even have a positive net effect.
“This position ignores 50 years of first -class scientific analyzes of the potential effects of climate change,” says Michael Oppenheimer, professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University.
“The bida government’s climate-freeism must be dismantled by the entire government”
These efforts are apparently supported by Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget (omb). That was one of the authors of the 2025 project. Rolling Stone asked VOUGHT’s office for a statement. However, there was no answer before the publication of this article.
“The bidding government’s climate-freeism must be dismantled by the entire government”, wrote vowht In Project 2025, the conservative design for Trump’s second term.
Climate experts say that every attempt to present climate change as something good is dangerous and contradicts science. It has been known for decades that climate change will have catastrophic effects on human life if the world does not act quickly to end fossil fuels.
“It is so outrageous that nobody except [Trump] Trying to do this, ”says Edward Maibach, director of the Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University.“ In America it is free, devastating storms, floods, droughts, air pollution, fatal heat waves and a growing threat by mosquitoes and ticks to describe diseases as something good. But it doesn’t come true. “
Most Americans are concerned about climate change
Maibach says that even the fossil fuel industry “recognizes that the problems caused by climate change are real”. In addition, he says that most Americans are concerned about climate change. Even if many chosen republican officials are not.
“Hardcore Maga politicians and supporters may buy the idea that climate change is good overall. But I do not expect a majority of Americans to buy it,” adds Riley Dunlap, professor of sociology at Oklahoma State University.
It is not clear how the Trump government would try to present climate change as something good. But they weren’t the first to try it. Conservative organizations that speak against climate protection measures and often funded by companies for fossil fuels and donors that are denied climate change have tried in many ways to dispel concern about climate change in the past few decades.
“Tobacco not carcinogenic”
“Conservative factories such as the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Cato Institute and the Heartland Institute have published books and other literature in which they argue that global warming does not take place, if it takes place, was not caused by humans and is probably not harmful, but is probably even beneficial,” says Naomi Oreskes for Harvard’s history.
Some of these organizations were also for it known, To convince the American public that tobacco is not carcinogenic.
In the past, numerous arguments have been brought up that should support the idea that climate change could have positive effects. To these arguments belong that Warmer weather would extend the vegetation period for crops. That rising temperatures would mean that fewer people would die of extreme cold. And that more CO2 in the atmosphere would lead to plants growing better. Climate experts argue that these claims are incorrect, misleading or without context.
“The idea that more CO2 will somehow help plants in the atmosphere is an absolute distortion of the actual scientific facts,” says Maibach. “In reality, the more CO2 and the warmer it gets, the more likely it is that weeds grow. And the less likely it is that plants that are used to eat people are used.”
Disorder of ecosystems
Andrew Dessler, climate researcher at Texas A&M University, says that the argument that climate change will make the world is greater, is widespread under climate eggs. He describes it as a “terrible argument”. And wrote recently In the newsletter “The Climate Brink” that climate change is actually “more difficult” due to its effects on water supply, temperatures and seasons.
“In fact, increased CO2 emissions means a disorder of ecosystems,” says Oreskes.
Climate change is not only advantageous for agriculture or human health. But also in the process of endangering the future of the US economy when you pretend it is not a problem. Or tries to present him as something good. If we promote fossil fuels and give up renewable energies, we will fall behind on the global market for renewable energies. And other countries will take the lead.
Deadly heat waves, droughts, stronger hurricanes
“The economy of clean energy will be the economy of the future. Not the economy of fossil fuels,” says Maibach. “The energy transition is in full swing. Its completion is inevitable. There are two questions. How quickly will this transition will take place. And who will benefit economically from this transition? China The business broken. “
Trump has tried to tell many big lies over the years. And trying to convince the world that fatal heat waves, droughts, stronger hurricanes, larger forest fires and much more exciting things are undertaking. Science does not support this. And that has been clear for a long time.
Perhaps Trump will only be interested in climate change when he begins to affect his own home in Mar-A-Lago. The extreme susceptible to The effects of climate change is.
