THINK PRESIDENTIALLY, REACT LOCALLY: RESIDENTS RESPOND TO THE NEW PRESIDENT
Rogue Valley Messenger, January 19 2017
RVM: Has the election of Trump changed priorities for your organization?
AJ: Not really changed them, but the presence of a science denier in the White House who promotes ignorance over evidence has diminished further the likelihood of anything meaningful happening at the Federal level to address climate change and promote clean energy. Of course, the reality is that having a Congress that is led by science deniers who promote ignorance over evidence has not changed so, from a Congressional perspective, the situation is unchanged. However, this does stress the need for us to focus on promoting action at the individual, local, regional, and state levels.
