  • Doesn't signing executive orders give Donald Trump hand cramps? Since his return to the White House, he hasn't stopped. And this time, it's an executive order concerning the dismantling of the federal government's diversity and inclusion (DEI) programs that's causing concern.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to ban the use of the term "global warming" in government documents and communications, replacing it with "climate change." This move has caused significant concern among scientists and environmentalists who fear it could undermine efforts to address climate change by downplaying the severity of global warming. Critics argue that this linguistic shift is an attempt to minimize the public's perception of the urgency and the human causation of climate change. The ban is seen as part of a broader strategy to alter public discourse on environmental issues, potentially affecting policy, research funding, and educational materials. Scientists are particularly worried about the implications for international climate agreements and the global scientific community's efforts to combat climate change.
