Environmental advocates and experts have expressed deep concern over the potential environmental consequences of a second Trump presidency. During his first term in office, Trump rolled back nearly 100 environmental regulations and policies, including the Clean Power Plan and the Paris Agreement. He also proposed deep cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) budget. These actions have been widely criticized by environmentalists, who argue that they have weakened environmental protections and made the United States a global leader in climate denial.
If Trump is elected to a second term, many fear that he will continue to dismantle environmental protections and promote policies that favor the fossil fuel industry. This could have devastating consequences for the planet, including more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and the loss of biodiversity.
It is important to note that these are just projections, and the actual environmental impact of a second Trump presidency will depend on a number of factors, including the actions of Congress and the courts. However, the Carbon Brief report highlights the potential risks of a Trump victory, and it is an issue that voters should consider carefully before casting their ballots in November.
