Notes

1. For instance, previously unlikely EPA Administrator Scott Pruit has taken to acknowledging the reality of climate change only to point out that it is possible that climate change will be good for human populations; see Hansler (2018).

2. Environmental Data & Governance Initiative (EDGI) has monitored thousands of these changes and omissions on US government agency websites alone.

3. In fact, while being careful not to say the words ‘climate change,’ officials within the administration have said that devising viable resilient strategies will require adapting to climate change impacts; see, e.g. (Green, 2017).
