Agency (EPA) head told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n<p>Zeldin\u2019s comments at the Great American State Fair on Thursday come as he was asked what <a

president by citing a specific prediction, he argued that climate projections, especially those decades in the future, should be interpreted as evolving estimates that need to be regularly updated as new data emerges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Relying on present day facts rather than bad assumptions from the past is incredibly important,&#8221; Zeldin insisted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every day that goes by we learn what the reality is at that point in the future, and we&#8217;re able to compare it to what the predictions are,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Zeldin emphasized the importance of hearing out newer perspectives on climate change, alluding to the idea that using both long-term forecasts and current real-world data can more accurately estimate the present implications and impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-era-enviro-rule-accused-strangling-truckers-squeezing-americans-lands-trump-chopping-block\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener

idea that if someone disagrees with someone else&#8217;s prediction of exactly what the temperature&#8217;s gonna be in the year 2100, that all of a sudden that person is just automatically some science denier,&#8221; Zeldin said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hear them out,&#8221; he advised. &#8220;Maybe they have an opinion on some other study that they looked on, or other studies they looked on,
