Pres. Trump said his administration will fight for a better environment in a speech Monday that did not mention the threat of climate change.
Trump campaigned on rolling back some of the stringent environmental proposals put forth under President Barack Obama, saying they went too far to single out industries like coal, but the administration claims the U.S. still has some of the strongest environmental protections.
The president did not mention climate change, other than to mention his decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, a landmark international accord to fight climate change signed by more than 190 counties in 2015. The president and administration officials have vocally cast doubt on research that shows significant risks to the U.S. from the warming climate, including more severe, extreme weather, coastal flooding and damage to the economy.
An EPA document on new air quality data, set to be released next week, shows that while air pollution has decreased dramatically in recent decades there have been more unhealthy air days and increased pollution from tiny particles of pollution in the last two years, partly due to smoke from wildfires.
"The basic message is we've made a lot of progress but the things the administration is doing will both make that progress less likely in the future and make it worse," he said. "With this administration, not only have they dropped the baton, it's like they're trying to run the relay race in the wrong direction," he said Monday.
