Michael Mann: ‘The Trump Administration Is Truly Putting Americans in Harm’s Way’ by Defunding of the Science

MANN: “We have been seeing this with recent hurricane strikes, the devastating flooding that we saw in the southeastern U.S. during the hurricane season a year ago or so. What we are seeing is that the dismantling of, for example, FEMA, the lack of resources that they have, is preventing the sorts of assistance that typically would be provided to those in harm’s way. Moreover, the Trump administration is dismantling our atmospheric modeling capability. Their attack on the National Center for Atmospheric Research, defunding this historic institution. NCAR, as it’s called, does a lot of the extreme weather modeling that is used by NOAA, for example, to predict extreme weather events and to advise risk assessments of those events. And so in a whole number of ways — the defunding of the science, the defunding of the infrastructure for assistance — the Trump administration is truly putting Americans in harm’s way."
