What’s at stake for the climate if Trump wins? ‘A catastrophic outcome’
CNN ^ | July 3, 2024 | By Ella Nilsen, CNN

CNN — In the first week of a new Trump administration, President Joe Biden’s climate wins would get put through the shredder.

First to go could be the executive orders, including the one protecting 13 million acres in Alaska from oil drilling and another aiming to dramatically increase the number of EVs on the road.

He would pull America out of the Paris Climate Agreement (again) and could even nix the country’s participation in the global climate treaty itself – a promise among countries to prevent “dangerous human interference with the climate system.”

Over the weeks and months that follow, Biden’s new climate rules would be methodically rolled back: limits on tailpipe pollution and unhealthy emissions from power plants, and new safeguards on the oil and gas industry.

Trump’s actions could leave the United States isolated from key allies on a global crisis in its deciding moments. 2023 was the hottest year on record and the rising heat is pushing the world closer and closer to irreparable harm. The only way to minimize the damage is to rapidly deploy clean energy on a massive scale by the end of this decade, scientists and global energy groups say.

Instead, Trump is poised to sprint in the opposite direction.

“He has said he’s going to come back with a vengeance,” former US special climate envoy John Kerry told CNN. “It would really be just a catastrophic outcome.”

Biden has done nothing but cause things to be more expensive. His executive orders do nothing for the climate. Why should Americans be punished while China and India can care less about pollution? It makes no sense. All climate change means is subsidizing certain businesses that couldn’t make it on their own. It’s like the government giving me a million dollars to drive a motorcycle and then claiming they are saving the planet.

If ground-based weather recording stations that were once in the middle of undeveloped areas which but now located in the middle of urban areas... there has been no warming trend in the lower 48 states over the last 30 years.

Alaska was showing a cooling trend up until 2012 when they had their “coldest” year since records began. Weather recording stations installed since that time are providing largely anomalous data... gee, I wonder why.

A catastrophic outcome for the grifters who make a living getting public grants and going first class to climate change conferences.

You have a good.. The best. Candidate for President and I hear just plain ignorance.

With Trump, these steep prices cease.. Gas goes back to reasonable.. The border closed.. Invaders taken back.. Other countries respect us again..
The question who to vote for.
You either love the United States or you don’t care..
Talking heads who hate Trump.. They are lost in their socialism.
Brains fried.. They don’t care.
Their so called logic is in total control over you and all.. To make your life deep in the dark with no hope.

Yeah, you’ll be using that non-stop for the next four months.

This will be a withering process, watching them try to take
Trump down to Biden’s zombie level.

The climate change crisis fraud is the possibly the most damaging mass delusion in human history.
