Donald Trump’s return to the White House virtually ensures that the U.S. will pull out of the Paris climate accord and halt efforts to reduce planet-warming emissions. On Monday, Trump announced that he would appoint Lee Zeldin as the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, empowering the former congressman to roll back scores of regulations and dismantle landmark climate regulations.
“Time is not on our side,” António Guterres, the U.N. Secretary General, said on Tuesday. “This is almost certain to be the hottest year on record, and a master class in climate destruction.”
Few environmental advocates were so sanguine about the results. “This was devastating,” said Allie Rosenbluth, the co-manager of Oil Change International. “This is horrible.”
Beyond pulling out of existing treaties, the Trump administration is expected to expand fossil fuel production, roll back regulations limiting pollution and reduce incentives for clean energy.
“We’re just devastated to see a second Trump presidency,” said Jacob Johns, a Hopi climate activist based in Spokane, Wash. “It’s a blow to us. The environmental protections he’s trying to strip are going to be devastating, and they’re going to have impacts across the world.”
Dean Bhebhe, a climate campaigner at Power Shift Africa, said the outcome of the U.S. election would reverberate around the globe.
In our hearts & minds, Trump will forever be only 45™
