Kevin D. Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, criticized the Biden administration's climate policies, arguing that climate-related events are simply variations in weather. By categorizing severe weather patterns as just 'weather,' he undermines the scientific consensus on climate change and its repercussions on global temperatures.
The Project 2025 plan, developed by a coalition led by the Heritage Foundation, aims to reshape the federal government by replacing career scientists with individuals loyal to Donald Trump. This effort suggests a shift away from scientific integrity and towards political allegiance, impacting the direction of future environmental policies.
Despite Donald Trump's attempts to distance himself from Project 2025, Roberts emphasized the nonpartisan nature of the initiative, asserting that many of its leaders hold significant roles in shaping Trump's vision for a second term.
Dismissing the scientific consensus on climate change, Roberts described global warming-related disasters as mere instances of weather variability. This perspective raises concerns about the potential regression of climate initiatives should leaders supportive of such sentiments gain power.
