Humanity takes another step towards environmental catastrophe
Donald Trump's administration is setting up a panel of pseudo-scientists to combat climate change evidence and Australian PM's not fooling anyone with environmental policy ‘hoax’

HUMANITY has taken a step closer to environmental catastrophe thanks to the omnicidal decisions reportedly made by the United States and Australian governments today.

In the US, President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly setting up a post-truth panel of “experts” to counter the scientific consensus that human activity is rapidly warming the planet’s climate.

Three senior White House officials told The Washington Post yesterday that the panel will include climate sceptic pseudo-scientists and work under the auspices of the National Security Council (NSC) — meaning the committee can avoid any public scrutiny.

Huge protest at @ScottMorrisonMP appearance today. Your fine words mean nothing because you want to throw public money at destructive coal.#IntergenerationalTheft #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActionNow #auspol #ScoMo pic.twitter.com/e2iyCsCZIx
