"Epic Fail: Trump Tries To Bury National Climate Assessment Report"

"Governments typically try to bury bad news in the Friday news cycle when people are distracted with plans for the weekend. The best day all year to bury a story is Black Friday — the busiest, craziest shopping day of all. The latest National Climate Assessment report from the federal government was due to be released before the end of 2018, but it is filled with such shockingly bad news for Trump and his failed environmental policies that his maladministration decided to release it a month early on the afternoon of Black Friday.

If the hope was the bombshell report would get overlooked in the post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy, things didn’t turn out well for the Psychopath of Pennsylvania Avenue. The National Climate Assessment (NCA) is the lead story on practically every news site in the world today. We will get to the contents of the report in a moment, but first, it is vital to focus on the message that comes from trying to hide the report in the first place.

It says this government, which theoretically is supposed to protect the citizens of the country from harm, will not lift a finger to meet the environmental challenges speeding its way. Instead of heeding the dire warnings from the recent IPCC 6 climate assessment, instead of helping states and local communities prepare for rising sea levels, more powerful storms, uncontrolled wildfires, and worsening droughts, the government plans to hunker down and pursue a business-as-usual strategy that will make America vulnerable to untold human misery and incalculable economic losses."
