Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party are so committed to keeping their billionaire donors happy, particularly those who make their money from fossil fuels, that they are not only deny science but now they are wrecking it.

Trump's administration is responsible for producing the climate survey on which major governmental decisions are based. And, with regard to climate change, they are saying that they will not consider anything that's going to happen after 2040, which is when the most severe consequences, including mass extinctions, are set to begin.

In exchange for money, the GOP is literally welcoming the end of the world.

Quote: "But the evidence does indicate that a thorough FBI investigation would uncover facts about the campaign and the President personally that the President could have understood to be crimes or that would give rise to personal and political concerns" - Mueller Report.
