Trump's new White House plans leak: Climate deal exit and drilling expansion ahead
Fresh-off his election win Trumpʼs team prepares big changes to US climate policies. Ready-to-sign orders target Paris agreement exit drilling permissions and state-level environmental rules
After winning elections few days ago Donald Trump already got plans ready for his White House comeback. His team made executive orders to pull-out from Paris climate deal (which makes countries cut their gas emissions) and open-up national areas for resource extraction
Joe Bidenʼs green-focused legacy might get quick changes: Trump wants to cut down protected lands size letting companies do more drilling and mining there. His team spokesperson Karoline Leavitt seems pretty sure about it
Whether it be our fundamental civil rights‚ reproductive freedom or climate action – we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked
The president-electʼs energy ideas look straight-forward — he promised folks at his rallies to “drill baby drill“ and thinks itʼll make energy costs way lower. Plus hes planning to start-up frozen LNG shipping deals with Asia and Europe (which Biden stopped early this year)
Some states dont like these ideas: Gavin Newsom from California already told hell fight in court if anyone tries changing his states tough pollution rules. Trump also wants to remove special rights that let places like California keep stricter clean-air standards
