A second Trump administration would be expected to shred climate polices. California officials are devising ways to insulate its environmental regulations.

      For sure, but it could be slightly less dire if a lot of states were able to somehow implement climate policy despite a Trump administration effort to maximize fossil fuel extraction and consumption.

        It’s all on California. It’s not just that a California is big, but they’re the only state allowed to define air pollution regulations. The rest of us can only choose between California or EPA. We’ll follow it if California can hold it together

        despite a Trump administration effort to maximize fossil fuel extraction and consumption.

        But why ignore that Bidens admin broke Trump’s production limits?

        Shipping tons and tons of coal to China to be burned there just makes it worse, because we use even more fossil fuels to ship it to China…

    While it’s good their finally doing it…

    The fuck did they wait for tho?

    Biden broke Trump’s fossil fuel production records, and him and Kamala have been pro-fracking for years.

    It’s not enough to just fight awful shit when a Republican is in office, we need to fight the awful shit the modern Dem party leaders want too.

    Stop pretending everything is fine if the person doing it has a fucking D after their name, that can’t be a total get out of jail free card or we’re already fucked and there’s no coming back.

    I live in one of the blue-ist cities in California and my city council refuses to build any housing near transit or build any bike or dedicated bus lanes. There was also an attempt to use school funds to pay for a new downtown parking garage. At this point, a Trump administration is the least of my climate worries…
