On Science - From AI To Warming Earth To Emerging Diseases - Shitstain "Administration" Flying Blind
EDIT
But rather than debunk another baseless thing Trump said about climate science, which others have already done, there's an overlooked, counterintuitive point to be made about Trump's refusal to accept scientific facts. His purposeful ignorance hurts his own agenda. It's actually in Trump's best interest to form a coherent climate science position, even if it's outside of the scientific mainstream, because he is relying so much on executive action, rather than Congress, to undo previously enacted climate policies. Executive actions – including executive orders and federal regulations – are more vulnerable to judicial review than legislative actions are.
Courts have consistently struck down or halted federal regulations that skip mandated steps, lack scientific justification, or would cause undue harm to industry or the public when compared to the benefits. Policies implemented without the advice of professional scientists risk being overturned at a later date, potentially after Trump has left office.
EDIT
Trump is the first president since President John F. Kennedy to fail to appoint a science advisor by this point in his first term, and he has barely staffed the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The OSTP is charged with providing the Executive Branch with expert science and technology information in order to enable leaders like Trump and Pruitt to make informed decisions.
Right now, the administration is flying blind when it comes to devising policies on everything from artificial intelligence to nuclear weapons modernization to how long it may be before global warming puts Trump's own Mar a Lago club underwater (hint, it's sooner than you think). A recent report from the Union of Concerned Scientists found that the Trump administration has been sidelining scientists across the government, from OSTP to agency advisory committees. "The administration's one-year record shows an unprecedented level of stalled and disbanded scientific advisory committees, cancelled meetings, and dismissed experts," the report found.
