Huh? After hottest month ever, EPA chief questions climate change

San Diego Union-Tribune · last updated

Re “March heat smashes 132-year-old record” (April 9) and “EPA administrator celebrates rule repeal” (April 9): I find it hard to reconcile these two articles in the Thursday paper. On the front page, there was a story about March’s record heat concluding the hottest 12-month period ever in the continental U.S. The article said that climate change is heating the Earth more each year. On page 4, EPA head Lee Zeldin praised the Heartland Institute for its years advocating the reversal of some U.S. regulations related to climate change, as the Trump administration has done in recent months.

How can our government question the effects of climate change when science is saying that the Earth is suffering from the effects of climate change? It boggles the mind.
