Excerpt:
The Trump administration has swept away climate change policies, Democrats are focused on energy costs, and environmental groups have gone quiet.

The climate system’s warning signs are blaring, but hardly anyone in Washington has noticed.
In recent months, scientists have revealed new ways climate change is affecting the planet: Higher temperatures threaten to worsen damage from a potentially historic El Niño; a record warm winter in the U.S. West pushed river levels near catastrophic levels; new data shows the planet heating up more quickly, shrinking Arctic ice cover to record lows; a critical ocean current that regulates weather is closer to collapse than previously thought.
Those developments come as the Trump administration has shredded regulations to corral planet-heating gases, hamstrung climate science agencies and dismantled research institutions. Democrats, meanwhile, have shifted their messaging to energy affordability ahead of the midterm elections, and the environmental movement has gone to ground.
