Climate coalition tallied all of Trumps censorship of science. Its staggering.

"SNIP..........

President Donald Trump and his administration have censored or stifled science — particularly climate science — almost 100 times since the election.

This adds up to a reckless and unprecedented war on science, according to the Silencing Science Tracker, which tallies up all of the budget cuts to science, the record low number of science positions filled by Trump, the deletion of science data from websites, the censorship of the words “climate change” from federal reports, and so on.

The tracker is a new initiative from the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund and Columbia Law School’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law.

The center’s faculty adviser, Michael Gerrard, called Trump’s blinkered decision to ignore science “dangerous and intolerable,” like “a truck driver who wears a blindfold and drives based on what is whispered into his ear.” That’s especially reckless when the truck driver is speeding toward a cliff called catastrophic climate change.

Because we will have learned who are real enemies are. The ones who would like to drag us back to a place of their liking. It's not possible to go back there but by them playing the hand we now have a target and know the why and what's for about it.

and perhaps the sulfur and methane he endlessly produces would stop and help mitigate the climate warming
