The article highlights the negative impact of President Trump's aggressive rollback of environmental regulations on the fight against climate change in America. He seeks to repeal rules limiting pollution and undermines the EPA's ability to regulate climate-related pollutants. The need for developing countries to achieve prosperity without reliance on fossil fuels is underscored. The U.S. can contribute by advancing clean technology, providing financial support for cleaner energy transitions, and fostering economic growth to adapt to climate challenges, although it cannot directly compel nations to abandon fossil fuels.
President Trump is attacking the country's environmental rules in a way that he never did in his first term.
This will weaken all of America's systematic strengths in combating climate change, make us poorer and get us virtually nothing in return.
Most important, it can help develop lower- or zero-emission versions of the technologies that help power the modern world.
Ultimately, even a more environmentally inclined America can't force countries such as India and Indonesia to stop burning fossil fuels.
