According to a federal climate change report, the recent decades have been the hottest out of the past 1,500 years. The draft report shows that Americans are definitely experiencing affects of climate change now, contradicting claims by Trump and other members of his cabinet. The thirteen federal agencies who published the report are waiting for President Trump to approve it, although they fear that he will not since in the past it has become clear that he feels that human impact on climate change is not proven and it is not possible to predict the affects of climate change. One scientist who was involved in making the report said that he and other scientists expressed concern that the report would be pushed down and forgotten by the president and his cabinet. In contrary, those who do not believe the link between human actions and climate changed are worried about the release of the report and the effect it could have.
