The fight against climate change has taken a body blow with the election of Donald J. Trump, who calls global warming a scam and has promised to erase federal efforts to reduce pollution.
Mr. Trump told a jubilant crowd Wednesday that the United States...will instead amp up oil production even beyond current record levels...We have more liquid gold than any country in the world, said the president-elect.
Mr. Trump's zeal to repeal the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act...will quickly face a political test...80 percent of the money spent so far has flowed to Republican congressional districts.
In Washington state, voters upheld an ambitious new law to force polluters to cap their fossil fuel emissions. In California, voters backed a ballot initiative to create a $10 billion climate bond.
