Trump asserted that poor forest management was to blame and that the weather would get cooler. But Trump’s denial of climate change is at odds with public opinion. According to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, more than 70% of Americans believe that climate change is happening, and nearly 60% believe that it is mostly due to human activities. Meanwhile, California remains a leader on fighting greenhouse gas emissions, with more than 30% of its energy coming from renewables like solar and wind, a figure that is mandated to double in a decade. Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state would accelerate its climate change strategies, including a goal to get to 100% carbon-free electricity by 2045.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daniel Kammen, professor of energy and director, Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory, UC Berkeley\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jennifer Marlon, professor and research scientist, Yale Program on Climate Change Communication\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Economic Outlook and the Struggles of a Small Business Owner\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some Bay Area businesses are eagerly opening their doors and rolling out the welcome mat to customers — although on a limited basis.

But Sunday night, the governor’s office confirmed that Gov. Gavin Newsom will join fire officials who will be briefing the president before heading off on his own to visit an active fire site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, who said little about the wildfires as they burned out of control for weeks, noted in a tweet over the weekend that he would touch down in California after a weekend of campaigning in Nevada. In addition to California, he also plans to visit Arizona on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1304936291054710784\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement released to media over the weekend, Deputy White House Press Secretary Judd Deere said “the President continues to support those who are battling raging wildfires in a locally-executed, state-managed, and federally-supported emergency response.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s silence as California and the West grappled with conditions described by some as apocalyptic has been widely criticized, especially by Democrats who complain that the president only seems to care about people living in states that voted for him in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, Newsom said last week he had spoken by phone with the president for 30 minutes to fill him in on the wildfires and California’s request for federal assistance. The governor has praised the federal government in the past for approving all disaster requests made by California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has been clear he thinks climate change is mainly driving the wildfires, saying the devastation should be a wake-up call for the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California, folks, is America fast-forward,” Newsom said Friday. “What we’re experiencing right here is coming to communities all across the United States of America unless we get our act together on climate change — unless we disabuse ourselves of all the B.S. being spewed by a very small group of people that have an ideological reason to advance the cause of a nineteenth century framework.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and some Republicans continue to focus on what \u003cem>they\u003c/em> say is the primary culprit — lax management of forest lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I see again, the forest fires are starting.

But he has divulged little about why he decided to end a successful career managing a multibillion dollar hedge fund — with investments that included fossil fuel interests — to enter politics and the climate fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a 2014 profile, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mensjournal.com/features/tom-steyer-an-inconvenient-billionaire-20140218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he told \u003c/a>Men’s Journal that he realized, “I really don’t want the highlight of my life to be my success as an investor.” His wife, Kathryn Taylor, said the couple became embarrassed in the mid 2000s that they were profiting from investments in oil companies while committing themselves to environmental issues. In 2012, Steyer stepped down from his role at the hedge fund, sold his personal fossil fuel assets, and got involved in electoral politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Amy Klobuchar speaks of Fran, a woman she met in Pacific Junction, Iowa, along the Nebraska border during recent flooding. “Hanging there on her neck was this pair of binoculars.

She promises within her first 100 days to restore the Clean Power Plan to reduce power plant emissions; revive fuel economy standards for vehicles; strengthen enforcement of the Clean Air Act; and recommit the U.S. to the Paris climate agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Her climate plan sets a goal of net zero emissions by 2050, along the lines of what \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/07102018/ipcc-climate-change-science-report-data-carbon-emissions-heat-waves-extreme-weather-oil-gas-agriculture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">science says\u003c/a> is needed to meet the Paris goals, though she provides fewer details than other candidates on how to get there. She proposes a $1 trillion energy infrastructure package and talks about using grants, tax credits and model building codes to encourage investment in clean energy and energy efficiency. She also mentions streamlining the permitting process for renewable energy production on federal land and investing in electric vehicle infrastructure, public transit and revitalizing rail transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• While Klobuchar co-sponsored the Green New Deal resolution in Congress, she hasn’t embraced it in her climate plan. She has called it aspirational rather than prescriptive, \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/429719-klobuchar-on-green-new-deal-i-see-it-as-aspirational\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">telling CNN\u003c/a> that it doesn’t make sense to “get rid of all these industries or do this in a few years,” while it does make sense to “start doing concrete things, and put some aspirations out there on climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• To help pay for energy infrastructure investments, Klobuchar says she would work with Congress to put a price on carbon pollution. Her plan doesn’t say what form that would take beyond stressing that it would not be regressive. She also proposes clean energy bonds to raise money and ending federal fossil fuel subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• She answered a Washington Post \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/policy-2020/climate-change/?utm_term=.609e4a1a6612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">questionnaire\u003c/a> on fracking by saying she doesn’t want to ban the method of extracting oil and gas, but would like to regulate it better. Her climate plan does, however, propose banning new fossil fuel permitting on federal land. She has said that “safe nuclear power” along with “cleaner coal technologies” should continue to be developed as part of a comprehensive energy strategy, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/homegrown-energy-environment-natural-resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an issue brief\u003c/a> on her Senate website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• She supports research into carbon capture and storage technology and co-sponsored a \u003ca href=\"https://www.brown.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/brown-introduces-bipartisan-legislation-promoting-carbon-capture-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2017 bill\u003c/a> to expand a tax credit to help carbon capture research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In her climate plan, Klobuchar also talks about the importance of bringing science back into decision-making in Washington. She says she wants to “hold the fossil fuel industry accountable” for climate change and mentions working to get a constitutional amendment “to get dark money out of our politics.” She signed the \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/444593-klobuchar-becomes-13th-democratic-candidate-to-pledge-not-to-accept\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No Fossil Fuel Funding\u003c/a> pledge in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ICN’s Take\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Klobuchar \u003ca href=\"http://www.msnbc.com/transcripts/rachel-maddow-show/2019-02-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">describes herself\u003c/a> as a progressive who can still win moderate voters in swing states such as Iowa and Wisconsin. On climate issues, however, her tone and some of her positions mean that much of the Democratic field is to her left.

She promises within her first 100 days to restore the Clean Power Plan to reduce power plant emissions; revive fuel economy standards for vehicles; strengthen enforcement of the Clean Air Act; and recommit the U.S. to the Paris climate agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Her climate plan sets a goal of net zero emissions by 2050, along the lines of what \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/07102018/ipcc-climate-change-science-report-data-carbon-emissions-heat-waves-extreme-weather-oil-gas-agriculture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">science says\u003c/a> is needed to meet the Paris goals, though she provides fewer details than other candidates on how to get there. She proposes a $1 trillion energy infrastructure package and talks about using grants, tax credits and model building codes to encourage investment in clean energy and energy efficiency. She also mentions streamlining the permitting process for renewable energy production on federal land and investing in electric vehicle infrastructure, public transit and revitalizing rail transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• While Klobuchar co-sponsored the Green New Deal resolution in Congress, she hasn’t embraced it in her climate plan. She has called it aspirational rather than prescriptive, \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/429719-klobuchar-on-green-new-deal-i-see-it-as-aspirational\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">telling CNN\u003c/a> that it doesn’t make sense to “get rid of all these industries or do this in a few years,” while it does make sense to “start doing concrete things, and put some aspirations out there on climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• To help pay for energy infrastructure investments, Klobuchar says she would work with Congress to put a price on carbon pollution. Her plan doesn’t say what form that would take beyond stressing that it would not be regressive. She also proposes clean energy bonds to raise money and ending federal fossil fuel subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• She answered a Washington Post \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/policy-2020/climate-change/?utm_term=.609e4a1a6612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">questionnaire\u003c/a> on fracking by saying she doesn’t want to ban the method of extracting oil and gas, but would like to regulate it better. Her climate plan does, however, propose banning new fossil fuel permitting on federal land. She has said that “safe nuclear power” along with “cleaner coal technologies” should continue to be developed as part of a comprehensive energy strategy, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/homegrown-energy-environment-natural-resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an issue brief\u003c/a> on her Senate website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• She supports research into carbon capture and storage technology and co-sponsored a \u003ca href=\"https://www.brown.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/brown-introduces-bipartisan-legislation-promoting-carbon-capture-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2017 bill\u003c/a> to expand a tax credit to help carbon capture research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In her climate plan, Klobuchar also talks about the importance of bringing science back into decision-making in Washington. She says she wants to “hold the fossil fuel industry accountable” for climate change and mentions working to get a constitutional amendment “to get dark money out of our politics.” She signed the \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/444593-klobuchar-becomes-13th-democratic-candidate-to-pledge-not-to-accept\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No Fossil Fuel Funding\u003c/a> pledge in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ICN’s Take\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Klobuchar \u003ca href=\"http://www.msnbc.com/transcripts/rachel-maddow-show/2019-02-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">describes herself\u003c/a> as a progressive who can still win moderate voters in swing states such as Iowa and Wisconsin. On climate issues, however, her tone and some of her positions mean that much of the Democratic field is to her left. She is a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal resolution but says it shouldn’t be taken literally, and she shies away from stances that could be branded as extreme, such as banning fracking.

He set guidance to make it more difficult to put future regulations on fossil fuel industries, and he moved to discard the use of a rigorous “social cost of carbon,” a regulatory measurement that puts a price on the future damage society will pay for every ton of carbon dioxide emitted. He swiftly signed memorandums to \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/24012017/keystone-xl-dakota-pipeline-donald-trump-executive-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">revive the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines\u003c/a>, projects blocked by Obama.

The administration \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/28042017/doanld-trump-arctic-offshore-drilling-ban-obama-executive-order\">moved to lift Obama’s offshore Arctic drilling ban\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/13072017/arctic-offshore-drilling-trump-approved-eni-boem-alaska\">approved \u003c/a>a plan to drill wells there.

People with little scientific background, or strong ties to industries they would be regulating, were appointed to scientific leadership positions. One of the administration’s first actions was to order scientists and other employees at EPA and other agencies to halt public communications. Several federal scientists working on climate change have said they were silenced, sidelined or demoted. At least three—a senior employee at the \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/20072017/whistleblower-trump-intimidation-abuse-power-climate-scientists-joel-clement-zinke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Department of Interior\u003c/a>, one at the \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/16082019/cdc-scientist-whistleblower-complaint-climate-health-research-trump-usda-epa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u003c/a> and another at the National Park Service—invoked whistleblower protections.

Scientific content on government websites has been altered and the public’s access to data reduced. Climate data from the government’s open portal website was removed. So was the EPA’s climate change website. The words “climate change” have been purged from government reports, and other reports have been buried\u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/23/agriculture-department-climate-change-1376413\">,\u003c/a> including by \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/23/agriculture-department-climate-change-1376413\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">officials at the Department of Agriculture.\u003c/a> The administration even edited a major \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2018/05/10/pentagon-revised-obama-era-report-to-remove-risks-from-climate-change/?utm_term=.1174b4bd9f55\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Defense Department report\u003c/a> to downplay its climate findings.

This includes prohibiting the use of well-established, long-term scientific studies underpinning the nation’s air pollution rules, a change the fossil fuel industry had sought for years. Known as the “secret science” rule, it has been \u003ca href=\"https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2019/11/25/science.aba3197\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lambasted by scientists and health experts worldwide\u003c/a>. Related, the White House \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/25042019/trump-omb-secret-science-policy-memo-pollution-health-studies-heritage-foundation-vought\">issued a memo\u003c/a> offering new ways for fossil fuel and other industries to challenge science-based policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• \u003cstrong>Undermining clean energy development and energy efficiency\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn its \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/12032019/trump-budget-cuts-renewable-energy-efficiency-electric-vehicle-tax-credit-deficit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">budget proposals\u003c/a>, the Trump administration has made clear its resolve to retreat from a federal role in advancing a clean energy economy and maintaining global leadership in the technology. It has proposed repeatedly to radically \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/02042019/trump-budget-cuts-national-labs-clean-energy-leadership-solar-wind-electric-vehicles-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">slash funding\u003c/a> for the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), a move that would cripple support for novel and promising technologies for advanced wind turbines, high-tech materials, energy-efficient buildings and more. He has tried to eliminate tax credits for electric vehicles and made several attempts to eliminate the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program, an incubator for cutting-edge energy research and development. Congress has largely rebuffed this scale of funding cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration issued in 2019 its final rule to dramatically weaken energy-efficient light bulb standards that Congress voted to phase in a decade ago. The standards would have eliminated inefficient light bulbs nationwide, saving some 1.5 trillion kilowatt-hours by 2030 and hundreds of millions tons of CO2. And it delayed for three years standards to substantially cut the energy that household and commercial appliances consume, moving to enact them only after \u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca9/18-15380/18-15380-2019-10-10.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a federal appeals court ruled \u003c/a>the hold was illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• \u003cstrong>Trying to undercut California’s world-leading climate progress\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAfter \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/02082018/trump-fuel-efficiency-standards-rollback-climate-change-epa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">freezing Obama’s national fuel-economy improvements\u003c/a>, the administration stripped California of its legal authority to enact the nation’s toughest fuel-efficiency standards, a move that could squelch the nascent U.S. market for zero-emission vehicles at a critical time. It sued the state over its cap-and-trade agreement with Quebec to lower fossil fuel emissions, arguing that California exceeded its authority when it launched. It has threatened action against California on air and water pollution. Those moves run counter to the administration’s hands-off approach and deregulatory agenda. Because of that—and because California has among the best compliance records in the nation on water pollution and has invested billions to improve air quality—former federal officials have said the efforts reek of political score-settling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ICN’s Take\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn the Trump administration’s early days, climate policy optimists gamely sifted through the president’s statements, his administration’s actions, and other nations’ reactions for grains of hope. Perhaps Trump would be persuaded to maintain the United States’ seat at the table in international climate negotiations. Perhaps the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/epas-pruitt-praised-for-effectiveness-hits-bumps-in-his-rollback-campaign/2018/05/20/c6ca13d8-53b3-11e8-abd8-265bd07a9859_story.html?noredirect=on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">efforts\u003c/a> of his early, scandal-plagued cabinet members to erase climate regulation would fail. Or perhaps \u003ca href=\"https://time.com/4800747/china-climate-change-paris-agreement-trump/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">other nations would step up\u003c/a> to fill the climate leadership void created by Trump, and the world would forge ahead with the action needed to address the climate crisis, leaving the United States behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All such hopes have been in vain. Although Trump occasionally feigns concern about climate—”\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/12/03/its-possible-that-trump-doesnt-actually-know-what-climate-change-is/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I think about it all the time,\u003c/a>” he once said—his policy has been an unmitigated and relentless drive toward fossil energy development. The missteps of his former EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, and others in the first round of appointees, have been erased by seasoned Washington bureaucrats and lobbyists who now are at the helm of the environmental agencies. And instead of racing to grasp the leadership baton dropped by Trump, China, the European Union and other large carbon polluters are \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/15/climate/cop25-un-climate-talks-madrid.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">falling behind both in their own ambition and in support\u003c/a> for the nations most vulnerable to climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump’s intentions, and his administration’s deleterious impact on global climate progress, will be evident to voters in 2020 in a way that many failed to grasp four years earlier. The only question is whether those who care about the planet’s future can unite as a political force in a way that eluded them in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

People with little scientific background, or strong ties to industries they would be regulating, were appointed to scientific leadership positions. One of the administration’s first actions was to order scientists and other employees at EPA and other agencies to halt public communications. Several federal scientists working on climate change have said they were silenced, sidelined or demoted. At least three—a senior employee at the \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/20072017/whistleblower-trump-intimidation-abuse-power-climate-scientists-joel-clement-zinke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Department of Interior\u003c/a>, one at the \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/16082019/cdc-scientist-whistleblower-complaint-climate-health-research-trump-usda-epa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u003c/a> and another at the National Park Service—invoked whistleblower protections.

Scientific content on government websites has been altered and the public’s access to data reduced. Climate data from the government’s open portal website was removed. So was the EPA’s climate change website. The words “climate change” have been purged from government reports, and other reports have been buried\u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/23/agriculture-department-climate-change-1376413\">,\u003c/a> including by \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/23/agriculture-department-climate-change-1376413\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">officials at the Department of Agriculture.\u003c/a> The administration even edited a major \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2018/05/10/pentagon-revised-obama-era-report-to-remove-risks-from-climate-change/?utm_term=.1174b4bd9f55\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Defense Department report\u003c/a> to downplay its climate findings.

It has proposed repeatedly to radically \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/02042019/trump-budget-cuts-national-labs-clean-energy-leadership-solar-wind-electric-vehicles-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">slash funding\u003c/a> for the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), a move that would cripple support for novel and promising technologies for advanced wind turbines, high-tech materials, energy-efficient buildings and more. He has tried to eliminate tax credits for electric vehicles and made several attempts to eliminate the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program, an incubator for cutting-edge energy research and development. Congress has largely rebuffed this scale of funding cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration issued in 2019 its final rule to dramatically weaken energy-efficient light bulb standards that Congress voted to phase in a decade ago. The standards would have eliminated inefficient light bulbs nationwide, saving some 1.5 trillion kilowatt-hours by 2030 and hundreds of millions tons of CO2. And it delayed for three years standards to substantially cut the energy that household and commercial appliances consume, moving to enact them only after \u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca9/18-15380/18-15380-2019-10-10.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a federal appeals court ruled \u003c/a>the hold was illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• \u003cstrong>Trying to undercut California’s world-leading climate progress\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAfter \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/02082018/trump-fuel-efficiency-standards-rollback-climate-change-epa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">freezing Obama’s national fuel-economy improvements\u003c/a>, the administration stripped California of its legal authority to enact the nation’s toughest fuel-efficiency standards, a move that could squelch the nascent U.S. market for zero-emission vehicles at a critical time. It sued the state over its cap-and-trade agreement with Quebec to lower fossil fuel emissions, arguing that California exceeded its authority when it launched. It has threatened action against California on air and water pollution. Those moves run counter to the administration’s hands-off approach and deregulatory agenda. Because of that—and because California has among the best compliance records in the nation on water pollution and has invested billions to improve air quality—former federal officials have said the efforts reek of political score-settling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ICN’s Take\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn the Trump administration’s early days, climate policy optimists gamely sifted through the president’s statements, his administration’s actions, and other nations’ reactions for grains of hope. Perhaps Trump would be persuaded to maintain the United States’ seat at the table in international climate negotiations. Perhaps the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/epas-pruitt-praised-for-effectiveness-hits-bumps-in-his-rollback-campaign/2018/05/20/c6ca13d8-53b3-11e8-abd8-265bd07a9859_story.html?noredirect=on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">efforts\u003c/a> of his early, scandal-plagued cabinet members to erase climate regulation would fail. Or perhaps \u003ca href=\"https://time.com/4800747/china-climate-change-paris-agreement-trump/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">other nations would step up\u003c/a> to fill the climate leadership void created by Trump, and the world would forge ahead with the action needed to address the climate crisis, leaving the United States behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All such hopes have been in vain. Although Trump occasionally feigns concern about climate—”\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/12/03/its-possible-that-trump-doesnt-actually-know-what-climate-change-is/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I think about it all the time,\u003c/a>” he once said—his policy has been an unmitigated and relentless drive toward fossil energy development. The missteps of his former EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, and others in the first round of appointees, have been erased by seasoned Washington bureaucrats and lobbyists who now are at the helm of the environmental agencies. And instead of racing to grasp the leadership baton dropped by Trump, China, the European Union and other large carbon polluters are \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/15/climate/cop25-un-climate-talks-madrid.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">falling behind both in their own ambition and in support\u003c/a> for the nations most vulnerable to climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump’s intentions, and his administration’s deleterious impact on global climate progress, will be evident to voters in 2020 in a way that many failed to grasp four years earlier. The only question is whether those who care about the planet’s future can unite as a political force in a way that eluded them in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
