  • The climate forecast for the next four years is bleak. Donald Trump notoriously tweeted in 2012 that global warming was a hoax created by China to damage US manufacturing. As president-elect, he has chosen a climate change denialist to head the Environmental Protection Agency, and his pick for the helm of the energy department is Rick Perry, who once suggested dismantling it. If CO^sub 2^ emissions rise faster as a result, the consequences for the global climate will be dire. But a Trump presidency won't just be a problem for climate change--it could also spell trouble for the scientists trying to stave it off.
