What Trump Wants on U.S. Climate Progress

It’s true that Trump is probably the greatest single one-person threat to our capacity to address climate change mitigation and adaptation, not only in America, but in the world as a whole.  That’s because a) he won the 2024 U.S. presidential election with his  extraordinary skill at reeling in the affection of our nation’s least educated and most scientifically illiterate people, and b) has consistently made great use of the torrents of donations he’s received from the multi-trillion dollar fossil fuel industry.

Let’s face facts: he’s intensely good at what he does, in this case, ruining this planet for his own enrichment.

Is there something we can do to turn this around?  Frankly, I’m not sure.
