The #Trumpadministration has a new strategy for deflecting concerns about the warming planet. #Trump officials are minimizing warnings from scientists by arguing they are exaggerated and based on the worst-case scenario. They say the National Climate Assessment (NCA) - an expansive federal government report on the dangers of climate change in the US - considers only the highest possible levels of greenhouse gas emissions. Trump said he did not believe #climatechange would have economic consequences for the US.

Global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations appear to be the highest they have been in 3m years, and continued carbon growth is likely lead to carbon levels not seen in tens of millions of years. If humans greatly reduce the greenhouse gases spewing into the atmosphere, continuing warming will still pose wide-ranging dangers.

The #Trumpadministration just published a major report documenting the advance of #climatechange, weeks earlier than expected and on a day many Americans are occupied with family and holiday shopping. The news is predictably bad, but this time the tally comes with a pricetag - one significantly larger than you’ll find at the mall.

President Donald #Trump has rejected without evidence the global scientific consensus that humans are doing grave damage to the planet. The Republican has sought to roll back Obama-era initiatives to slow #greenhousegas pollution in favor of #fossilfuel interests. In recent years, thousands of Americans have died during, or as a consequence of, extreme weather tied to climate change - from powerful #hurricanes fueled by extremely warm seas to calamitous conflagrations stemming from drought.

This week has been a busy one for the special counsel #RobertMueller’s office and a miserable one for the #Trump administration. The rate of activity suggests #Mueller may be moving into the probe’s endgame. At the start of this week, it was revealed that former Trump campaign chairman #PaulManafort had been lying to federal investigators despite agreeing to a plea deal with them following multiple fraud convictions in August.

And on Thursday (Nov 29), former Trump attorney #MichaelCohen made a surprise appearance at a New York courthouse to admit to lying to Congress about the timeline of negotiations for opening a Trump Tower in #Russia, negotiations for which were still ongoing as late as June 2016. Trump quickly responded to Cohen’s plea, calling his former attorney a 'weak person' who was 'lying' in the hope of being handed a reduced sentence.
