Quoting the article:"Trump pledged in May to “cancel” the Paris deal. He has called for stripping regulations to allow unfettered production of fossil fuels — a key source of emissions — and rescinding the Clean Power Plan, an Obama administration strategy to fight climate change. In May, Trump told an oil and gas conference in North Dakota he would “save the coal industry” and stop all payments of U.S. tax dollars to global warming programs. “Trump will try and slam the brakes on climate action, which means we need to throw all of our weight on the accelerator,” said May Boeve, leader of the 350.org environmental group. The pro-fossil fuels American Energy Alliance said Trump’s victory presents a chance to reset “harmful energy policies” in the U.S. “He has laid out an energy plan that puts the needs of American families and workers first,” said the group’s president, Thomas Pyle." GR - I think it's safe to say that while US emissions have been declining, those days appear to be over. We're now putting "the needs of American families and workers first", and future generations and the rest of the planet can fend for themselves. While leadership in reducing global emissions will once again not be coming from the US, we can hope that other countries will quickly and (more) effectively fill the vacuum. Meantime, with emissions reduction having been dealt another major setback, now is the time to seriously solicit and scientifically evaluate alternative GHG/climate management methods in the hope that the planet might have acceptable options beyond inadequate or non-existent emissions reduction. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
