With Trump’s win, Biden’s historic climate policies are poised to be undone
Trump, meanwhile, has pledged to once again pull the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement, a nonbinding pact to slash emissions that are driving up temperatures. His victory comes as international climate negotiators prepare to meet next week in Azerbaijan, where countries will hash out a new target for climate aid that some developing nations say should exceed $1 trillion annually.
Without U.S. contributions, other countries will be reluctant to step up funding, making deeper emissions cuts harder to achieve, diplomatic analysts say.
But Trump has often rejected the presence of climate change, or shrugged off its damaging effects on people and the environment.
"America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate," Trump said in a victory speech early Wednesday morning, vowing to increase the production of oil, which he called "liquid gold."
Yes, yes, yes!
