The past eight years have not been kind to people who dispute that the climate is changing. Leading scientists strengthened the case that the earth is warming and humans are at fault, while the Obama administration prioritized fighting its effects. As with so much else, the election of President Trump has ushered in a new day.
Since taking office, Trump has moved to gut Obama's signature climate change regulations, signed executive orders to aid the fossil fuel industry and installed a critic of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as its head. And yet to some of the strongest opponents of Obama's environmental policy, particularly those who deny the existence of global warming, Trump is not going far enough. Despite having called climate change a "hoax" before his election, these critics think Trump has been ducking bigger fights like withdrawing from the international Paris Agreement on climate change and undoing the scientific underpinning for the EPA's climate change rules.
Still, those who deny the science behind climate change are in a position to influence U.S. policy for years to come. Trump does not have a science advisor and his administration has turned to skeptics for guidance on energy and environmental policy issues. Lehr, who says the greenhouse effect plays a negligible role in the climate, delivered a presentation to administration officials designed to help Trump defend his claim that climate change is hoax.
"Every administration is a mixed bag," Ebell tells TIME. "I wouldn't say I'm disappointed. I would say I am anxious."

Al Gore got Trump’s ear.
Trump promptly cut a lot of global warming initiatives.
“Climate Change Deniers” l hate that term. FU Time rag.
Fight. Fight harder .....
Thank YOU Time ‘magazine.’
How about “Climate Realists”?
I came on to make a similar remark. Nobody on the planet denies climate change, just as nobody denies "weather change." These people have been allowed to define the terms of debate. We must never use such terms in discussing the topic.
You know what's preposterous about the debate? People and media sphincters like TIME who think they can be "Climate Changers." Y'know, if these morons could reliably change the weather in any single region of the world for just one lousy year, using their own money and not ours, I might believe they could change the climate.
Defunding as Trump has done, is the best counter-punching I can think of.
Trump signed an E.O. that reversed the LBGT edict on schools that Obama initiated.
He also defunded U.N. initiatives that include abortion funding.
He’s done quite a bit of stuff that doesn’t always get front page headlines.
Ummm, we do not deny climate changes. We deny that changing the atmosphere composition of carbon dioxide by one molecule per ten thousand will cause any measurable anything
TIME gets the expert liar with statistics award.
73.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Ouch. Those small changes made a lot of difference didn’t they.
That cartoon was great. Who could trust a word out of that guy’s mouth.
