Trump\u2019s dangerous anti-science agenda<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s rejection of scientific truth is an active threat to the environmental, health, and economic well-being of all Americans. Facing the most defining crisis of our time, Trump remains weak and chooses to do nothing on the climate. Trump is working to turn back the clock on decades of environmental progress. Most recently, to name a few, the Trump administration has:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u274c Slashed<\/a>\u00a0funding and staff for our National Park System<\/p>\n

\u274c Weakened\u00a0<\/a>the U.S. Forest Service<\/p>\n

\u274c Closed<\/a>\u00a050+ critical research and science facilities<\/p>\n

\u274c Rolled<\/a>\u00a0back the Endangered Species Act as California challenges the move in court\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u274c Opened<\/a>\u00a0Alaska\u2019s wildlands to drilling<\/p>\n

\u274c Rescinded<\/a>\u00a0the Roadless Rule, removing wilderness protections<\/p>\n

\u274c Proposed<\/a>\u00a0offshore drilling off California\u2019s coast\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u274c Attacked<\/a>\u00a0cost-effective renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar<\/p>\n

\u274c Withheld<\/a>\u00a0infrastructure funding for the technologies of the future, including clean tech<\/p>\n

California is filling the leadership void<\/p>\n

As Donald Trump abandons America\u2019s allies and dismantles federal climate leadership, Governor Newsom is filling the void. California will stand firm as a subnational leader in climate, engage with partners, cut pollution, create good-paying jobs, and lead the clean energy economy. Governor Newsom knows that climate action goes hand in hand with economic dominance. When every day is Earth Day in the Golden State, California remains the model for climate action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump\u2019s dangerous anti-science agenda Donald Trump\u2019s rejection of scientific truth is an active threat to the environmental, health,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279950,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-279949","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-california","8":"tag-california","9":"tag-california-headlines","10":"tag-california-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
