John Barbas, director of the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, said he is folding the agency's work into the agency to resist President-elect Donald Trump's promised reforms to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Barbas' action plan calls for creating a “training module” on global warming for senior management employees, who are the least likely to be fired, and distributing it to all employees to improve their “climate literacy.” It is mandatory.
The goal is to keep his training modules alive even if President Trump abolishes the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity.
“Health systems are recognizing that this is a business problem, a financial risk problem, and a threat to their mission,” John Barbas said. said Monday's Politico Pro.
Politicopro reported on officials' concerns about President Trump's pledge to purge the administrative state:
As President-elect Donald Trump approaches his second term, the head of the climate change office created by President Joe Biden at the Department of Health and Human Services wants the effort to continue in a fragmented form.
President Trump is expected to close HHS's three-year-old Office of Climate Change and Health Equity. The agency's small staff focuses on efforts to communicate the risks posed by climate change to medical operations and public health. The office is staffed by staff from other federal agencies.
…
But President Trump poses a threat to many of the initiatives touted by Barbas' office. That's because they depend on anti-inflation laws that President Trump has vowed to repeal. Barbas said Biden's climate change law provides critical funding to health care and hospital systems to strengthen their defenses against the effects of climate change, especially through direct payments through Treasury tax credits. .
The term “administrative state” refers to the phenomenon of unaccountable and unelected administrative bodies, including national security agencies. exercise The power to create and enforce your own rules. The administrative state uses its rule-making ability to essentially usurp the separation of powers between the three branches of government. create The so-called fourth branch of government, which is not formed by the constitution.
