HHS 'Climate Change' Chief Vows to Block Trump Reforms

John Balbus, who heads the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, says he is hardwiring his officeâ€s work into the agency to resist President-elect Donald Trumpâ€s vowed reforms of the Department of Health and Human Services. [emphasis, links added]

Balbusâ€s plan of action entails senior executive service employees, who are the hardest to fire, creating and disseminating a global warming “training module†to all employees for “climate literacy.â€

The goal is for his training module to remain even if Trump axes his Office of Climate Change and Health Equity.

“Health systems are recognizing that this is a business issue, this is a financial risk issue, that itâ€s a threat to the mission,†John Balbus told PoliticoPro on Monday.

PoliticoPro reported on the agencyâ€s fear of Trump’s vow to purge the administrative state:

With President-elect Donald Trumpâ€s second term looming, the leader of the climate change office that President Joe Biden created at the Department of Health and Human Services hopes its work can live on in atomized form.

Trump is expected to shutter the three-year-old HHS Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, whose small staff focuses on efforts to communicate climate-driven risks to health-care operations and public health. The office has subsisted on staff detailed from other federal agencies.

…

Yet Trump represents a threat to many of the initiatives Balbus†office has touted because they rely on the Inflation Reduction Act, which Trump has vowed to reverse. Bidenâ€s climate law has supplied key funding for health-care and hospital systems to improve their defense against the effects of climate change, particularly through direct payments supported by Treasury Department tax credits, Balbus said.

The term “administrative state†describes the phenomenon of unaccountable and unelected administrative agencies, including the national security apparatus, exercising power to create and enforce their own rules.

The administrative state uses its rulemaking ability to essentially usurp the separation of powers between the three branches of government by creating a so-called fourth branch of government not formed by the Constitution.

Before Trump left office in 2021, he signed an executive order (EO) to reclassify federal government employees into Schedule F, which would have allowed the president to enhance accountability and job performance within the bureaucratic agencies.

“You have some people that are protected that shouldnâ€t be protected,†Trump said in April about Schedule F.

President Joe Biden canceled the order in 2021, but with Trumpâ€s victory, he could reimplement the executive order and purge the unelected technocrats steering the federal government.

“It would effectively upend the modern civil service, triggering a shock wave across the bureaucracy,†Axios previously concluded about the EOâ€s potential impact.
