A federal report contradicts the EPA chief's claims that climate change impacts are decades away, an environmental group says
President Donald Trump reminded the public on Monday, in honor of Earth Day, that while his administration values the environment,"environmental protection and economic prosperity go hand in hand." Trump and EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler have publicly stated that climate change is not the White House's main environmental priority.
In March, in his first televised interview after being confirmed as the EPA chief, Wheeler told CBS that"most of the threats from climate change are 50 to 75 years out," contradicting the conclusions of top scientists in the US government and international organizations like the UN.
