@IoannaT - This problem started waaay before Trump. There's a think tank called "Heartland Institute" that's a central hub for organizing climate change denial. It's basically a right-wing ad agency with lab coat-wearing mercenaries and has been active since the 1980s. Back then, they were on the payroll of the tobacco industry to play down the health effects of smoking. Now they're largely funded by the fossil fuel sector, with strong ties to Koch Industries.
Whenever you see a "scientist" or politician speak out against climate science in America, he's probably in some way connected to these people.
