Yes, as with many aspects of the so-called MAGA agenda, he is merely intensifying decades-long trends, in this case Republican attempts to gag scientists and destroy the administrative state required to enforce environmental laws. DeSantis also was putting forward similar policy positions on climate stuff. But there’s no doubt the Trump administration was the most anti-science in US history, making what we saw in the Bush years look like child’s play. We still haven’t recovered from what they did, and in some ways the environmental crimes of those years have only recently borne fruit, such as in the Supreme Court rulings against wetland protection, CO2 regulations, and the potential upcoming decision to require Congress to explicitly set all environmental criteria in the laws (an intentionally impossible task)
