"GAO Slams Trump Admin On Climate Preparedness, Chemicals"

"The federal government has fallen back in its efforts to protect against the financial risks posed by climate change, the Government Accountability Office said in a report released today.

GAO's so-called 2019 High Risk List detailed government weaknesses — from wasting resources and abusing power to mismanagement.

"Substantial efforts are needed on the remaining high-risk areas to achieve greater progress and to address regress in some areas since the last high-risk update in 2017," GAO head Gene Dodaro said during a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee this morning."
