Election of Donald Trump ‘could put world’s climate goals at risk’ (www.theguardian.com)
 
 

If you're an American, and you want to stop Trump, it's important to be actively involved:

  • Check your voter registration - there's been an active effort to purge voter rolls, and if you moved or changed name, you'll need to register again anyways
  • Talk with people you know about voting for Democrats up and down the ballot. Personal endorsement matters.
  • Volunteer — it makes a real difference
  • If you can afford it, donate to the Biden campaign. Even fairly modest amounts of money from a lot of people add up to being able to hire staff and run ads.

Election of Donald Trump ‘could put world’s climate goals at risk’ (www.theguardian.com)
 
 

Former UN climate chief warns of global impact of a possible regression in US green policies

Victory for Donald Trump in the US presidential election this year could put the world’s climate goals at risk, a former UN climate chief has said.

The chances of limiting global heating to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels are already slim, and Trump’s antipathy to climate action would have a major impact on the US, which is the world’s second biggest emitter of greenhouse gases and biggest oil and gas exporter, said Patricia Espinosa, who served as the UN’s top official on the climate from 2016 to 2022.

“I worry [about the potential election of Trump] because it would have very strong consequences, if we see a regression regarding climate policies in the US,” Espinosa said.

Although Trump’s policy plans are not lear, conversations with his circle have created a worrying picture that could include the cancellation of Joe Biden’s groundbreaking climate legislation, withdrawal from the Paris agreement and a push for more drilling for oil and gas.
