A whole panel of climate deniers

Kathleen- Help us fight for a livable climate and a green future! Resist Trump's climate denial — Help Greenpeace take bold action for people and the planet.  DONATE NOW Last year, the Trump administration released the National Climate Assessment on the day after Thanksgiving hoping no one would notice. It's required to be published regularly by federal law and they wanted to bury the report's glaring finding that climate change impacts "are intensifying across the country." Like many things with the climate-denier-in-chief, he can't seem to let this go. So now the White House is working on putting together a panel of cherry-picked federal scientists to review government climate studies1 … and you can guess what their conclusion will be. They'll deny climate change is happening or that burning fossil fuel is bad for the planet. Please help Greenpeace take bold action and advocate for people and the planet, not fossil fuel profiteers. The science on climate change is absolutely clear, however desperately Trump wants to deny it or lie about it. If we are going to avert a climate catastrophe we must keep the increase in global temperatures below 1.5° Celsius, and the Green New Deal calls for the scale of action that we desperately need to stop catastrophic climate change. It could create millions of family-sustaining union jobs that protect our nation's air, water, and communities, and confront systemic injustices head-on. So it's no surprise that Trump's Climate Denial Panel is being created to refute the government's own climate science as questionable and create public confusion. Unlike a formal advisory committee, this group would not be subject to the same level of public disclosure. They can meet behind closed doors, are not subject to public records requests, and don't have to include a representative membership. Yes, it's exactly as sketchy as it sounds. Donate today to stand on the side of science, truth, and justice. You are helping Greenpeace campaign for climate action like an even stronger Green New Deal that includes halting any major oil, gas, and coal expansion projects like pipelines and new drilling — a plan for phasing out fossil fuels altogether. We can't do it unless you help us push political candidates and elected representatives to be real climate leaders The oil, gas, and coal industries will fight us tooth and nail while continuing to dump pollution into our atmosphere, guaranteed. So we're getting into the ring with the biggest corporate polluters and fighting like our lives depend on it—because they do. Let us know you're with us by making a gift today. With my thanks, Vanessa Butterworth Climate Campaigner, Greenpeace USA P.S. One lesson from the sobering UN climate report released last fall is that we can fix this, and our society will be stronger, more equitable, and more just in the end. Imagine the gains we would make if the United States government actually tried to cut emissions like so many other industrialized countries are already doing, instead of putting together Climate Denial Panels. Thank you for investing in the better future you want to see by supporting Greenpeace today.  [1] nytimes.com/2019/02/20/climate/climate-national-security-threat.html Greenpeace never takes a dime from corporations or governments.
