Trump to Attempt to Greenhouse Gaslight Public on His Record of Dirtier Air and Dirtier Water

WASHINGTON - Today, Donald Trump will reportedly try to defy reality by attempting to greenwash his toxic record on air and water issues. Elected as the only head of state in the world to refuse to accept climate science, Donald Trump has quickly established the worst record on the environment and climate action of any president in the history of the country. Following considerable progress under the previous Administration curbing pollution and tackling the climate crisis, Trump has attempted to throw out, roll back, undermine and scrap nearly every clean air, clean water, and climate safeguard on the books, rolled out deadly new policies to help corporate polluters, and remains the only world leader to attempt to withdraw from the historic Paris Climate Agreement. 

In response to the news of Trump’s speech, Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune released the following statement:

“Donald Trump is resorting to greenhouse gaslighting the public to try and cover-up the fact that he is the worst president in history for the environment, climate and public health. Trump’s relentless attacks on our clean air, clean water, climate and public lands threaten the health and safety of millions of Americans and no speech he gives can ever change the reality of his actions.”

In a nod to the dirtier air, dirtier water, and dirtier politics that would result from Trump Administration proposals, today’s speech is coming just days after the one-year anniversary of the disgraceful resignation of Trump’s EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, who Trump ultimately replaced with beleaguered coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler. As Trump seeks to greenhouse gaslight the nation on his environmental and climate record, here’s just a few of the deadly lowlights from his Administration on these key issues:

The public won’t be fooled by Trump’s attempts to greenlight gaslight the world. His deadly record speaks far louder than his rhetoric ever will:
