America’s Role in Climate Change Mitigation

It would be great to see the United States make substantial investments in climate change mitigation, and certainly the Inflation Reduction Act is an excellent start here.

Even better would be our nation’s leading the way towards a broad, international coalition in this space. If we can’t help to solve this problem for highly populated developing countries, this planet will bake itself over the next couple of decades.

The sad truth, of course, is that the United States, with the incoming Trump administration is moving in the opposite direction.  Trump claims that climate change is a hoax, will undoubtedly kill the Inflation Reduction Act, and will double-down on the consumption of fossil fuels.
