President Trump Criticizes Climate Science Amid Record Heatwave, Raising Concerns Over Environmental Policy
President Trump has intensified his criticism of climate science, labeling reports from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine as 'fraudulent, biased, and misleading.' This comes as the U.S. experiences one of its hottest summers on record, with a heatwave disrupting celebrations of the country's 250th anniversary. Despite the United Nations recognizing a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as a basic human right, the Trump administration continues to downplay climate change, treating it as a 'hoax.' James K. Boyce, a scholar of political economy and climate policy, outlines necessary policies to protect the environment, emphasizing the need for constitutional amendments and pollution monitoring.
