Stupid Trump tricks

Daily Beast - President Trump is planning to limit climate-science projections in federal studies to the year 2040—effectively opting out of climate change’s worst-case scenarios, The New York Times reports. Scientists warn that eliminating the projected effects of increased carbon-dioxide pollution after 2040 would present the public with an incomplete and falsely optimistic picture. “Nobody in the world does climate science like that,” said Michael Oppenheimer, a professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton. “It would be like designing cars without seat belts or airbags.”
