\n

Today, at the United Nations General Assembly, Trump decided to stop by the Climate Summit for a mere matter of minutes<\/a> before departing for another event.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s clear that Trump does not take climate change seriously. Here are more than 20 other ways he has failed to address this pressing issue:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Trump does not believe climate change is real and has called it a hoax<\/a> created by the Chinese.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Trump withdrew<\/a> the United States from the landmark Paris Climate Accord, and walked away from nearly every other nation on one of the most pressing issues of our time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    More than four dozen<\/a> former military and intelligence officials rebuked Trump\u2019s plan to bury the government\u2019s own findings that climate change poses a threat to our national security.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Trump has filled the swamp<\/a> to the brim by stacking his administration with industry allies who look out for corporate interests above all else.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    EPA inspections fell to a 10-year low<\/a> under the Trump administration, while civil penalties against polluters fell to their lowest average level since 1994.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Trump directed his EPA to roll back clean air rules that he said suffocates industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    The Trump administration has tried to wipe<\/a> climate change references on government websites from existence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    The White House wants to stop<\/a> taking the long-term impacts of climate change into account when assessing policies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  9. \n

    The Trump administration rolled back<\/a> offshore drilling safety regulations that were put in place after 11 people were killed from the worst oil spill in American history.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  10. \n

    Trump completed or is in the process of rolling back 85 environmental regulations, which could significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to thousands of extra deaths<\/a> from poor air quality.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  11. \n

    The Trump administration\u2019s own analysis of its overhaul of the clean power plan showed it could lead to as many as 1,400 premature deaths <\/a>annually by 2030.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  12. \n

    Trump repeatedly sought to cut funding<\/a> for the EPA by about a third.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  13. \n

    With Trump\u2019s encouragement, the Interior Department set an all-time record<\/a> for oil and gas lease sales on federal lands in 2018.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  14. \n

    Trump repealed<\/a> a rule to protect waterways from coal mining waste.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  15. \n

    A new EPA accounting method that experts described as not scientifically sound<\/a> would enable the agency to predict fewer premature deaths from air pollution to justify its rollback of a key climate change measure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  16. \n

    Trump\u2019s Bureau of Land Management scrapped<\/a> its longstanding mission statement of protecting \u201cthe health, diversity, and productivity of America\u2019s public lands\u201d for future generations. It now focuses on exploiting public lands for profit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  17. \n

    Year after year, Trump proposed gutting<\/a> the Great Lakes restoration initiative, which aims to restore wetlands and improve water quality.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  18. \n

    Trump proposed eliminating the Conservation Stewardship and Regional Conservation Partnership Programs, which help farmers mitigate risks<\/a> of natural disasters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  19. \n

    For three years in a row, Trump cut federal funding<\/a> for Everglades restoration from $200 million to $63 million.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  20. \n

    The EPA revoked<\/a> California\u2019s power to set stricter standards for auto emissions, the nation\u2019s biggest source of greenhouse gas pollution.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  21. \n

    Trump\u2019s Interior Department took an aggressive approach to opening<\/a> the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling, despite its own analysis finding that it would harm<\/a> native villages and lead to extinctions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  22. \n

    The Trump administration scrapped<\/a> Obama-era clean water rules, returning the country to standards put in place in 1986.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
