WASHINGTON _ A Trump administration report touts local Kentucky efforts to combat climate change _ but its dire warnings are having little sway with a coal-friendly, mostly Republican congressional delegation.
"Kentucky is one of the few regions in whole world that hasn't shown a warming average temperature," said Adam Terando, a North Carolina-based research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and federal coordinating lead author for the Southeast chapter of the report.
"But overall, the bigger message is the climate is warming globally and we expect that to occur regionally," he said.
