How I miss President Obama. So much depth to this man. The pain and sadness I feel today is so overwhelming about the precious time that the tRump regime has robbed from us to save ourselves. Just watch the wisdom he shares about global warming below to our mayors. What a tiny little man Trump is, petty, vindictive, cruel, clueless, incompetent and illegitimate.
Mayors will be on the front line to protect us as well as they can from the looming catastrophes that await us as climate change takes it’s grim toll on our biosphere. Trump’s treatment of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and his total neglect of California during their time of need from wildfires offers a preview of what America can expect. He is beyond reckless when it comes to peoples lives and property.
But first, Bloomberg News reveals the cruel and outrageous assault on America’s cities by Donald Trump.
The Trump administration has terminated a cross-agency group created to help local officials protect their residents against extreme weather and natural disasters.The Community Resilience Panel for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems was created by the Obama administration in 2015 within the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. Its chairman, Jesse Keenan, told members at a meeting Monday that its charter was being dissolved and that meeting would be its last.
“It was one of the last federal bodies that openly talked about climate change in public," Keenan said in an email to Bloomberg News. “I can say that we tried our best and we never self-censored!”
A spokeswoman for NIST, Jennifer Huergo, said in an email Tuesday that the decision to end the panel was made by staff within the institute’s Community Resilience Program, who "conducted an assessment of the panel and its mission and determined that a national workshop would be a more effective and efficient way to support the goals of the program." She said the decision was made "without influence of any NIST political leadership."
The group is the latest in a series of federal climate-related bodies to be altered or terminated since President Donald Trump took office. In June, the administration told scientists who sat on the EPA’s Board of Scientific Counselors that their terms weren’t being renewed. In August, Trump ended the advisory committee attached to the National Climate Assessment, the quadrennial review of climate science. Trump has called climate change a "hoax" designed to make the U.S. less competitive with China.
