2. Except the Trump administration has done absolutely nothing to support the climate change project and most likely never will. But NYT treats the *possibility* as front-page news.
Very bad idea bc Trump lies abt everything, including policy.

3. By showcasing his rhetorical embrace of environmental initiative, the Times gives completely false impression that that he can be persuaded by logic and common sense. And NYT article plays into the idea that Trump has any idea what his policies actually are, or even cares.
4. it has lot to do with what @jayrosen
has discussed/written about—DC press clinging to idea there's still a functioning WH, with aides scurrying around feeding Trump advice.
there isn't/they arent.
this Times piece pretends it's all true.
