Few Americans Support Trump Plan to Kneecap EPA Climate Action

Americans who voted for Donald Trump expect him to “Make America Great Again,” but they don’t think gutting the EPA and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords is the way to do it. According to ecoAmerica’s February survey, only nine percent of Americans think Trump should limit EPA actions on climate change. Similarly, only 19% of Americans think Trump should withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords. And at this early mark in his administration

only 31 percent think Trump is doing a good job.

This survey was conducted during the first week of February 2017, two weeks after Trump’s inauguration. In this short time, Trump had already put gag orders in place on the EPA and

removed climate change information from the White House website.
