The article from WVXU discusses a proposal by former President Donald Trump to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) if he were to be re-elected.

Critics argue that dismantling this office would severely undermine the EPA's ability to make evidence-based decisions, potentially leading to weakened environmental protections and public health safeguards. The move is seen as part of a broader trend of deregulation and skepticism towards climate science within Trump's administration. Environmental groups and scientists have expressed strong opposition, highlighting the importance of the OSTP in maintaining rigorous scientific standards and addressing critical issues like climate change, air and water quality, and chemical safety.
