The Environmental Protection Agency published a 150-page document which details their recommendation for dealing with climate change.

The language used throughout the document is at odds with EPA director Andrew Wheeler, who is part of the Trump administration and previously stated in an interview with CBS, "Most of the threats from climate change are 50 to 75 years out.”

The agency is in disagreement.

"This EPA guidance is clearly telling the public you need to start dealing now with disasters that are being made worse by climate change and will be made even worse due to climate change," said Amit Narang, regulatory policy advocate at the group Public Citizen, to The Washington Post. "It's pretty troubling to me to see the head of EPA saying the exact opposite thing."

Multiple studies have shown the impact of climate change on our current environment, and the potential for it to get worse in the future.

"The science has really developed in the last decade. In particular, around the influence of global warming on extreme events," said Noah Diffenbaugh, a professor and senior fellow at Stanford University, to The Washington Post. "It's very clear from multiple lines of evidence that we are already being impacted by the global warming that's already happened."

Wheeler is not the only official from the Trump administration to downplay the impact or legitimacy of climate change, the president himself famously called it a creation of and for "the Chinese."

"He has regularly and consistently prioritized the profits of corporate polluters over clean air, clean water, and the health of our communities,” said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club. “The fact that he continues to ignore the climate crisis endangers the nation and will be viewed by history with scorn.”
