- Authors
GOODMAN, MELVIN
- Abstract
This article discusses the impact of former President Donald Trump's policies on science and the environment. It highlights how Trump's administration reversed many of the environmental regulations put in place by his predecessor, President Barack Obama, particularly in relation to coal plants and carbon emissions. The article also mentions Trump's appointment of climate change deniers to key positions and his withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. In contrast, President Joe Biden has prioritized environmental protection and has taken steps to reduce pollution and limit toxic chemicals. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of science and criticizing Trump's disregard for it.
