Experts from Harvard, during a briefing sponsored by the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, criticized the Trump administration's executive orders targeting climate science. They highlighted that such actions threaten climate progress and could exacerbate climate change, risking critical tipping points. Jody Freeman emphasized the unprecedented nature of these orders, while John Holdren pointed out the potential loss of precious time in battling climate change. The experts expressed concern that the damage inflicted may be difficult to reverse, leading to long-term consequences for both climate policy and global credibility.
The Trump administration is attacking climate science on multiple fronts with little regard for federal law, say Harvard experts who worry that the damage will be hard to reverse even if the government eventually loses in court.
All of this runs the risk of climate change growing faster than it otherwise would have, possibly passing catastrophic tipping points.
Time lost from advancing solutions is gone forever, said Holdren. And all of this runs the risk of climate change growing faster than it otherwise would have.
This isn't normal, said Jody Freeman, noting that this administration has issued executive orders that disregard legal limits to a significant extent.
