“A sincere search for areas of common ground.” That’s what Al Gore called his surprise meeting this week with President-elect Donald Trump.
Gore, of course, is one of the leading voices for aggressive action to fight the climate crisis, while Trump has famously called climate change “a hoax.”
Their meeting in Trump Tower in New York on Monday briefly gave a sliver of hope to people who want Trump to pivot to a position more in line with the global scientific consensus on climate change — that it’s real, that it’s already having a serious impact, and that humans are largely responsible.
But that hope may well have been dashed with Wednesday’s news that Trump has picked Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to lead the agency chiefly responsible for implementing US climate policy, the EPA. Pruitt is a close ally of the fossil fuel industry and a fierce opponent of President Barack Obama’s signature plan to cut greenhouse emissions from power plants.
The move is the clearest sign yet that Trump plans to stick to his promise to reverse the US’ course on climate policy.
But the reversal may not be limited to policy. It may also extend to climate science itself.
That at least was the indication of a Trump advisor, who said recently that the new administration wants to dial back or even eliminate one of the main sources of data on our changing climate — NASA’s Earth science program.
