Hello everybody: President Trump is likely to issue an executive order today to rollback climate action policies. Some highlights: - EPA will revisit the Clean Power Plan; - DOJ will not defend the legal challenge to this plan; - lift moratorium on coal leasing on public lands; - rewrite limits on methane emissions from the oil and gas industry; - Federal agencies not to take into account the social cost of carbon - and many more...... How might environmental groups respond? Here are some ideas we published in The Conversation: "Climate politics: Environmentalists need to think globally, but act locally" https://theconversation.com/climate-politics-environmentalists-need-to-think-globally-but-act-locally-73113 Comments are always welcome; please email them directly to me.
