Federal scientists contradict Trump on climate change

While the United Nations tries its best to change Donald Trump's highly condemnable views on climate change by requesting him to join the Paris agreement once again, a federal climate report says the United States is already feeling the effects of climate change, with temperatures rising dramatically over the last four decades. A government report on climate change that delves into the effects of greenhouse gases on global warming. The report found that temperatures could rise by an additional 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit within the next century if current trajectories of carbon emissions continued, the New York Times said.

The report finds that human activities are primarily responsible for global climate change.

The Trump administration is studying a draft report on climate change and human involvement, leaked to the New York Times.

The New York Times had a big scoop on Monday about a "blunt" climate change report scientists anxious would be suppressed under the Trump administration. They also noted the White House has an August 18 deadline for issuing its review of the report.

Among the findings of the report, the scientists state that climate change is indeed driven by human activity. Meteorologists have recorded increasingly warmer temperatures since the 1960s, and heat waves are now more common than streaks of stinging cold weather.

"Since the last National Climate Assessment was published (in 2014), 2014 became the warmest year on record globally, 2015 surpassed 2014 by a wide margin; and 2016 surpassed 2015".

In addition to Pruitt and other cabinet members" disbelief about human influence on global warming, The Guardian reported yesterday that a series of emails shows staff at the Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service is censoring the use of the term "climate change.' Instead staff has been advised to use the term 'weather extremes'. CNN is told the version of the draft that is awaiting Trump administration approval has since been revised twice, although the main findings of the report are still in line with the findings in this older version of the draft.

Even after President Donald Trump withdrew the USA from the Paris climate accord earlier this year, the former United Nations ambassador and S.C. governor said the country remains committed to combating a warming climate.

Trump stood up to facts when he pulled out of the Paris climate accord, and he'll do it again. The study reveals how the average global temperature has risen by 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit since the Second Industrial Revolution of the mid-1800s.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Scott Pruitt flat-out rejects established climate science, refusing to link Carbon dioxide and global warming. Several scientists who were report authors have said the report was not "leaked" as the Times claimed, but had been available during a public comment period, and was still available on at least one Web site.

Some scientists were concerned that the administration could amend or suppress the report.
