A White House Earth Day message praises President Donald Trump, a man who once said that climate change was a deception created by the Chinese, as the long -awaited president who follows science.

The press release sent on Tuesday, entitled “On Earth Day, we finally have a president who follows science,” he lists a variety of actions that Trump has taken that the White House statements are really good for the environment, despite the fact that each important conservation group that says otherwise.

When “pausar the restrictive emissions rules for coal plants”, Trump has “accelerated responsible energy and infrastructure projects,” says the statement. When tightening wind energy, Trump is “recognizing the detrimental environmental impact of wind turbines, particularly in wildlife, which often exceeds its benefits,” says the statement, which pushes the myth that wind turbines have a significant impact on bird populations.

“President Trump is protecting public lands,” says the statement before explaining that “access to federal lands for energy development is” prioritized “: something that conservationists have said is an environmental nightmare.

On his first day in office, Trump signed a litany of executive orders to reverse the existing climatic policy. Those included withdraw the United States from the climate agreements of Paris; declaring the first “energy emergency” of the nation to accelerate fossil fuels that allow nuclear energy and mining; stop the development of the wind on the high seas; and opening the National Tongassa Forest of Alaska, the largest federal protected forest, to the increase in logging.

Tuesday’s press release describes the expansion of felling in public lands such as “safeguarding millions of forest land acres, improving wildlife habitats and supporting rural economies at the same time.”

The characterization of Trump as president that finally “follows science” is also out of tune with his choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one of the loudest voices in the anti -caccino movement, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

And in the last two months, Nature Magazine found, the Trump administration has finished almost 800 research projects financed by the National Institutes of Health of the United States, with tens of thousands of scientists who are told that their research “no longer makes the priorities of the agency.”
