Climate change was settled science decades ago.

The failure was political.

Climate Denial in American Politics: #ClimateBrawl documents how climate denial became embedded in U.S. federal politics—and how it continues to obstruct climate action.

Propaganda is the voice of tyranny, not democracy.

Yet climate denial propaganda infiltrated the highest ranks of U.S. government.

How did this happen—and why does it still matter?

During the 2nd half of the 2020's, history will document the rise on a new rogue state under a dictatorship that destabilized the world order.

The rogue state was the United States of America.

The dictator was Donald Trump, the most powerful political climate denier in history.

Who calls climate change a hoax?

In the past, they would have been called cranks or crackpots. Today, we call them climate deniers.

The most dangerous climate denier in the world is the President of the USA.

Trump turns against actions of former Republican President George H. W. Bush by withdrawing from UNFCCC, which Bush had helped organize and signed.

American is now just another rogue state, which Trump proves with every executive order.
