    I’m hoping given this is the age of information, what’s being burnt is not truly lost and is mirrored/archived somewhere away from his grubby mitts

      I would think all this only temporarily slowed down the global research?

      A government sabotaging all the data it can, and eliminating protections on hundreds of things will hurt that country much more in the long run than anything else.

      Yes, a run away American environmental damage can make things worse for warming; but much more depends on what other countries can do.

      The USA has been foot dragging its response the last generation; and would not have done more than cosmetic enforcement had a more rational government held power. So, unless the Americans really cannot have good government, this will probably spark a backlash, and may begin a true response to the crisis when a halfway competent government wins the tribal wars
