Recently, President Trump claimed to be a “very stable genius.” The President’s understanding of what constitutes stability differs from my own. President Trump’s unique genius is in the creation of disturbances and instability. He is not a steadying force. He foments instability in our alliance with NATO, and in our political and economic relations with friends and foes. He disrupts our intelligence agencies through incessant attacks on the credibility of their assessments. He destabilizes our judicial system by publicly demeaning judges whose rulings he dislikes. He undermines the free press by deeming reporters critical of his Administration “enemies of the State.” His immigration policies have destroyed the stability of thousands of families, tarnishing America’s reputation as a nation that will take in “…your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

I’ve worked as a climate scientist for most of my life. I have been fortunate enough to encounter true genius. The brilliant woman who figured out the causes of stratospheric ozone depletion. Physicists who built the first computer models of the climate system. Scientists who used those models to predict the climate consequences of the burning of fossil fuels. Paleoclimatologists who unlocked a million years of Earth’s climatic history in ice cores extracted from Antarctica. Data experts who measured climate change from space, from the ground, and in the depths of the oceans, confirming the reality of human-caused planetary warming.
