美国环境保护署署长李·泽尔丁认为，气候预测代表的是一系列可能的结果，而非确定无疑的结论，并警告不要将那些不认同这些预测的人自动贴上“科学否认者”的标签。
“当有人盯着2050年或2100年，然后说‘这就是海平面一定会达到的高度，这就是气温一定会达到的数值’，这没有正确认识到，实际上存在从乐观到悲观的区间，”这位美国环境保护署（EPA）负责人对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
泽尔丁周四在大美国州博览会上发表上述言论，当时他被问及，他认为拜登政府时期做出的哪些气候预测已被新证据推翻。

他没有通过引用具体预测来抨击这位前总统，而是辩称，气候预测，尤其是那些数十年后的预测，应被视为不断演变的估算，需要随着新数据的出现定期更新。
“依靠当下的事实而非过去的错误假设极为重要，”泽尔丁坚持道。
“随着时间一天天过去，我们会了解到未来某个时间点的实际情况，我们就能将其与预测进行对比，”他补充道。
泽尔丁强调倾听关于气候变化的新观点，暗指结合长期预测和当前真实世界数据，可以更准确地估算气候变化对当下的影响和后果。

他辩称，那些不认同这些气候预测的人——这些预测可能反映了过时的研究或数据——不应被自动贴上“科学否认者”。
“我认为，如果有人不认同他人对2100年气温的确切预测，就突然将这个人直接视为科学否认者，这并不是个好主意，”泽尔丁说。
“要倾听他们的意见，”他建议道。“也许他们有自己的看法，因为他们参考了其他研究，毕竟预测确实存在多个版本，尤其是当你展望更远的未来时。”

特朗普政府已重新审议多项与气候相关的多项监管规定，包括重新考虑美国环境保护署2009年的《危险认定》——该文件是许多联邦温室气体监管规定的法律依据，以及其他温室气体排放规则。
自接手美国环境保护署以来，泽尔丁一直牵头重新评估该机构2009年的《危险认定》，并重新审议前几届民主党政府通过的多项与气候相关的监管规定。

Trump’s EPA chief pushes back on climate skeptics being labeled ‘science deniers’

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin argues that climate projections represent a range of possible outcomes — not certainties — and warned against labeling those who disagree with them as “science deniers.”
“When someone looks at 2050 or 2100 and they say ‘This is exactly what the sea level is going to be. This is what the temperature is going to be,’ it doesn’t acknowledge correctly that there really is a range from the optimistic to the pessimistic,” the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head told Fox News Digital.
Zeldin’s comments at the Great American State Fair on Thursday come as he was asked what climate predictions made during under President Joe Biden’s administration he believes have been disproven by new evidence.

Rather than take a the layup on the former president by citing a specific prediction, he argued that climate projections, especially those decades in the future, should be interpreted as evolving estimates that need to be regularly updated as new data emerges.
“Relying on present day facts rather than bad assumptions from the past is incredibly important,” Zeldin insisted.
“Every day that goes by we learn what the reality is at that point in the future, and we’re able to compare it to what the predictions are,” he added.
Zeldin emphasized the importance of hearing out newer perspectives on climate change, alluding to the idea that using both long-term forecasts and current real-world data can more accurately estimate the present implications and impacts of climate change.

He argued that people who disagree with these climate projections, which could possibly reflect outdated research or data, should not automatically be labeled “science deniers.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea that if someone disagrees with someone else’s prediction of exactly what the temperature’s gonna be in the year 2100, that all of a sudden that person is just automatically some science denier,” Zeldin said.
“Hear them out,” he advised. “Maybe they have an opinion on some other study that they looked on, or other studies they looked on, because there really is a range of predictions, especially when you look further in the future.”

The Trump administration has moved to revisit several climate-related regulations, including efforts to reconsider the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding, which serves as the legal basis for many federal greenhouse gas regulations, as well as other greenhouse gas emissions rules.
Since taking over the EPA, Zeldin has spearheaded re-evaluating the agency’s 2009 Endangerment Finding and is revisiting a number of climate-related regulations adopted under previous Democratic administrations.
