Trump 2.0
The Reckoning
From his first moments in office, President Donald Trump declared a national energy emergency, unleashed oil and gas drilling, targeted climate enforcement, excised environmental justice protections and embarked upon mass layoffs at the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of the Interior and more. Some in the environmental community called it a “shock and awe” approach. Inside Climate News got to work, chronicling the rollbacks, the cutbacks, the policy revisions and, as ever, the gathering climate crisis.
