Trump Seeks to Reframe Climate Change as Positive

Stephen Colbert criticized President Trump during a recent episode of 'The Late Show,' mocking his attempts to reframe climate change as a positive phenomenon. Colbert highlighted Trump's absurd assertions, such as claiming rising sea levels could create more beachfront property and suggesting tick-borne diseases might be beneficial. This follows reports that Trump aims to use the federal government to promote the idea that climate change is not harmful, a perspective widely contested by scientists and experts. Edward Maibach, a climate communication expert, condemned Trump's stance as dangerous and misleading. Furthermore, Trump is reportedly planning to revise the EPA's 2009 findings on greenhouse gases, which would downplay the health risks associated with climate change. Critics argue that this contradicts decades of scientific research on the impacts of global warming.
