Summary
Donald Trump's re-election raises alarm bells for climate advocates as he plans to dismantle key environmental regulations and potentially withdraw from the Paris Agreement again. Analysts warn that his focus on fossil fuel production could significantly hamper efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Although the U.S. is on track for another record-breaking temperature year, Trump’s administration might prioritize traditional energy sources over renewable alternatives, complicating the global climate agenda. Despite these challenges, some experts believe that state-level initiatives may continue to drive progress toward clean energy.
