Trump says power plants don’t add to air pollution. Climate scientists say it’s ‘nonsensical’

The Trump administration is at odds with climate scientists who recently proposed bungling some fundamental concepts about the connection between industrial emissions and air quality. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which works to protect public health from harmful emissions, issued a revised statement this week, claiming that “heat-trapping carbon gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution.” However, climate experts, scientists in the ballpark of affecting climate change, seem to disagree with this assertion.

In a statement published by 19 climate scientists, five experts describe the agency’s conclusions as “disinformation,” calling them “totally nonsensical.” Climate scientist Zeke Hausfather, part of the tech company Stripe and the Berkeley Earth project, described the idea that CO2 warms the planet as “the scientific factually equivalent of saying that smoking doesn’t cause lung cancer.” He emphasized that the administration’s approach is “initially sound” but “disproportionate,” likening it to prioritizing short-term gains for short-term gains.

Yet, former U.S. director of the National Center for Environmental Health, Howard Frumkin, a retired public health professor at the University of Washington, disputes this scientific premise. FRUMINHSKID states, “coal-and gas-fired power plants produce a significant amount of greenhouse gases, and they directly contribute to climate change,” but he adds, “the primary issue is not just the production of CO2 but the impact of these emissions on the environment and the health of humans.” FR “\”MFR\) challenges the agencies’ declarations, pointing out that such measures are in direct conflict with decades of peer-reviewed research indicating the long-term and severe environmental impacts of industrial emissions.

A report released by the University of Arizona, linking climate change to increasing levels of extreme weather, highlights the Clarke calculator, a mathematical model that shows one carbon emitted by fossil-fuel plants can harm 550-3,300 people. Similarly, the University of California, Berkeley, has identified 285,000 cases of
