On climate, will Trump have it all his own way?
==========
Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign suggests a potential setback for global climate action; he withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement in 2017, with official exit in November 2020; his administration took 74 actions weakening environmental protections; Trump now has Republican control of the Presidency, Senate, and Congress; Project 2025 aims to reduce climate research funding and dismantle key agencies; the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) allocates US$370 billion for green technology, with projected benefits of US$5 trillion by 2050; since 1980, climate disasters have caused 16,768 deaths and US$2.785 trillion in economic costs; geopolitical competition with China and the EU's Green Deal may influence US climate policy; Elon Musk's influence could lead to a nuanced approach towards fossil fuels; early actions may include a second withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.
