Over 1,000 EPA employees, including key scientists, have been warned of possible dismissal by the Trump administration, which is prioritizing economic growth over environmental regulations. This move is part of broader actions to dismantle climate change initiatives, as the administration removes climate-related information from government websites. The Climate Science Advisory Board and the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee lost staff, further jeopardizing science-based environmental oversight. Experts like Michael Mann express concerns that corporate interests are gaining control over crucial climate action efforts.
We should plan for the worst,' Michael Mann, a climate scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, told The Guardian. 'The keys to the car have been given to the polluters and fossil fuel plutocrats and they intend to drive it off the climate cliff.'
