The EPA has released its four-year plan and there’s no mention of climate change. Plus, they’ve officially begun the process of rescinding the Clean Power Plan. It’s the latest step in the Trump administration’s efforts to undo Obama-era climate policies.
The Clean Power Plan was the Obama administration’s approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the face a GOP-controlled Congress opposed to climate legislation. So, is its rollback the end of U.S. action to address climate change?
Will other countries take this as cue to roll back their own greenhouse gas emissions?
Phil Duffy, president of Woods Hole Research Center, says it might surprise people, but the rest of the world is moving forward without leadership from the United States.
