The art of low expectation. Maybe it is a step forward from complete denial of the undeniable, but there's little practical difference between the "rising sea levels are fake news" stance and the "rising sea levels have 100% natural causes" stance. Both mean politics, or the human kind, don't have to react in any way, maybe apart from building protections against the sea. Which Trump himself did at one of his golf courses.

But as long as guys like that applaud cutting back regulations against CO2 emissions - amongst others - and abandoning the Paris accord, I consider that little to no progress.
