A second Trump term could slow the shift from fossil fuels as climate threats grow

As the US approaches another presidential election, concerns arise over the potential climate impact of a second Trump term. During his campaign, former President Donald Trump continues to downplay climate science, promising to roll back environmental regulations and boost fossil fuel production. His stance includes opposition to wind turbines and electric vehicles, which are key technologies for reducing climate pollution and mitigating extreme heat.
Trump's administration previously withdrew from the Paris Agreement, eased regulations on power plant emissions, and promoted oil and gas development. His possible return to office, supported by initiatives like Project 2025, could dismantle federal programs addressing climate change and repeal Biden's climate policies.

If Donald Trump is reelected, his administration probably couldn’t stop the country’s transition away from fossil fuels. But any slowdown could have big impacts on climate change.

      Trump's disregard for climate science and his pro-fossil fuel agenda pose a direct threat to our environment and public health.

            I'm sorry but I think we need to stop selling this lie that Trump will reverse the work done by Biden to beat climate change. First of all, U.S.A became the largest oil producer and increased it's fossil fuel production under who? You will not believe it but it was under Joe Biden. The United States oil exploration deals have increased since Biden came into power, so, I ask, apart from making numerous promises that he has shown no intention to keep, what has done for the planet that is so huge and people are afraid Trump will reverse? I think this is only a plot to claim Biden's failures as Trump's in case the incumbent loses the seat later on.
