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

Trump election would be dire for the entire world.
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
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…
I think there are two good reasons to ignore what happened in Biden admin.
First, Harris is running, and despite her current platform she’s likely to do much better on this, as per https://heated.world/p/when-kamala-harris-sued-obama-over
Second, even under Biden, this was forced, see https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/28/climate/biden-drilling-leases.html
(Kinda odd how they’re now running as pro-fracking and how much they supported drilling when in fact they did so only because they were forced to, but hey whatever wins the votes I guess?)
