A blueprint is emerging for a second Donald Trump term that is even more extreme for the environment than his first term, according to multiple Trump allies and advisers.
They outlined a far more methodical second presidency: driving forward fossil fuel production, sidelining climate scientists, overturning rules that curb planet-heating emissions.
The prized target for Trump ’s Republican allies will be the Inflation Reduction Act , the landmark $370 billion bill laden with support for clean energy projects and electric vehicles.
The US would still see its emissions drop under Trump due to previous policies and a market-led shift away from coal to gas as an energy source, but at only half the rate of a second Biden term.
This would deal a mortal blow to the global effort to restrain dangerous global heating.
Some conservatives believe Trump will prove more successful second time around.
Rosenberg : "Anyone who cares about public health, the environment, science, international relations, should be scared about another Trump presidency" Rosenberg : “The contrast is incredibly stark between Biden and Trump . That’s just scary.” Rosenberg : “Do I think Biden is the best of the best? Of course not. But compared to Trump ? That's just scary”.
