Rejected

What the petition asks
The current US administration publicly disregards the almost unanimous decision by Climate scientists around the World that climate change is upon us. He is seeking to defund research in this area and has also issued gagging orders on Government Departments forbidding them to speak out
It is a matter of public record that Trump does not believe climate change. It is also a matter of public record that he is gagging state Departments and Funding streams which fund and report on climate change and initiatives to combat climate change. If climate scientitists are correct, we live in a time when mitigation for climate change is utterly critical. Denying the consensus of scientists Worldwide presents profound danger to the Global Community and needs to be robustly challenged
