<p>1. The White House web site now claims that doing away with power plants’ emissions controls, a clean water rule, and other environmental regulations would lead to a $30 billion gain in wages. The assertion does not even accord with the specious analysis
on which it is based. <a href="http://www.climatecentral.org/news/trump-fabricates-wages-figure-on-first-day-21098">http://www.climatecentral.org/news/trump-fabricates-wages-figure-on-first-day-21098</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>2. The newly washed White House web site, now scrubbed of references to climate change and renewable energy, sports a new energy policy promoting the use of fossil fuels (and, from other indications, doing away with efficiency efforts so as to maximize
energy usage). <a href="http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2017/01/trump-administration-removes-references-to-climate-change-at-whitehouse-gov.html?cmpid=enl_rew_solarenergynews_2017-01-24&email_address=atilley@unf.edu&eid=291059574&bid=1643608">

<p>Energy efficiency appears to be specially targeted. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/01/21/this-is-how-change-comes-to-washington-detail-by-bureaucratic-detail/?utm_term=.813645053d49">https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/01/21/this-is-how-change-comes-to-washington-detail-by-bureaucratic-detail/?utm_term=.813645053d49</a>​ <br>

<p>3. The propaganda campaign against climate science has direct connections to attempts to discredit scientific warnings of the environmental threat posed by nuclear weapons.

<p>4. People can be protected against misinformation (such as the most common assertion of anti-climate action propagandists that there is no scientific consensus on global warming) by inoculating them with information on the tactics and weaknesses of the
propagandists, accompanied by a sketch of the actual situation. <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/gch2.201600008/full">http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/gch2.201600008/full</a> </p>

<p>5. In the last 35 years the atmospheric energy system has become more efficient in converting the added energy from increasing heat to kinetic energy driving stronger storms.

<p>6. We are setting new global climate records at an average pace of about once in every three years.
