What’s at stake for the climate if Trump wins? ‘A catastrophic outcome’

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.”

Rolling back environmental regulation is main reason I am voting for Trump!
I would be very disappointed if he doesn’t

Catastrophic to the psycho anthrophobes who control the green movement, they mean. Trump won’t agree with the murdering 90% of humanity that the lefties support.

Lord, I hope so! But still the climate will not be noticeably different from the day he takes office till the day he leaves office in 2029.

The climate is warming now because we’re just getting out of “Little Ice Age” (ended after George Washington’s presidency).
