Meet the Texas oilman who wants to gut US climate policy

76% Informative

Texas billionaire Tim Dunn has given millions of dollars to help elect former President Donald Trump to try and reverse U.S. climate policy.

The Texas billionaire bankrolls the Dunn Foundation , which has a war chest of $100 million that is used in part to fund groups that deny or downplay climate change and its effects.

He has given more than $6 million to GOP candidates and the Republican party this cycle, according to federal election records.

Dunn lives on a family compound in Midland , Texas — the heart of oil and gas country — and near a megachurch and Christian school that he funded.

Underpinning his approach to policy is the view that unchecked carbon emissions aren’t a threat to humanity.

Dunn and the America First Policy Institute also want to see a second Trump presidency roll back the Biden administration's moves on climate and energy.
