The article discusses Trump's renewed push for increased fossil fuel drilling in the US, despite evidence that his tariffs have created economic chaos. Under Biden, the US had seen a decline in emissions due to stricter environmental regulations, but Trump's actions have led to a significant jump in projected greenhouse gas emissions. Despite Biden’s more green-focused policies and fewer drilling leases in his first 100 days, the current political environment threatens to undo progress in emissions reduction, contributing to global climate chaos.
Donald Trump's ambitions for the US to drill, baby, drill for more fossil fuels have ironically been hampered by the economic chaos unleashed by his own tariffs.
Despite awarding more drilling leases than Trump in his first 100 days, Biden also pursued policies to combat the climate crisis that saw oil and gas companies revise down their production estimates.
