Ayana Elizabeth Johnson : By the end of Donald Trump's second term, sea levels will be higher, weather will be more extreme.

She says on day one of his administration, he signed nine executive orders aimed at sabotaging climate solutions.

Johnson : These executive orders will make our air dirtier, our population sicker, our energy more expensive, and our communities less prepared for extreme weather.

Julian Zelizer : Federal resources would obviously be a massive help, and we must hold the executive branch accountable.

But Zelizer says there is so much city and state governments can do to implement climate solutions without federal support.
