Trump Seems Ready to Fight the World on Climate Change,

Donald Trump is branded with all manner of unflattering labels, but one
that hasnt seemed to much bother him is climate pariah.
.
The president-elect is unabashed in his disdain for Americas global
warming policy. He has placed a staunch climate-change doubter and
antagonist of mainstream science in charge of reshaping or as Trump has
suggested, dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency. He has talked
frequently about reneging on the historic Paris global climate treaty the
U.S. took a lead in drafting. And he has said he wants every federal
green-energy program eliminated.
.
Environmentalists take little comfort in Trumps recent comments that he
accepts there is some connectivity between human activity and climate
change and that he has an open mind about it, as what hes said elsewhere
and done so far suggests otherwise.
.
And even those comments gave scientists cause for alarm. You can make a
lot of cases for different views, Trump told the New York Times, casting
doubt on the finding by more than 90% of climate scientists that emissions
are accelerating global warming. Im not sure anybody is ever going to
really know.
.
Yet few things on Trumps confrontational agenda put him more quickly on a
collision course with the rest of the world, much of his own country and
even some in his own party than his stated desire to abandon the fight
against global warming. The looming assault on environmental regulation
will test the resilience of Californias leadership role in the world,
which is defined in large part by aggressive action on climate change that
became a blueprint for the Obama administration.
.
Donald Trump will be about the only head of state who does not believe in
climate science or the responsibility of his government to act, said
Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, which signed up more
members in the week after Trump won the election than during the rest of
2016 combined. This makes the Bush-Cheney administration look like it came
from an environmental training camp.
.
But Trump may be picking a tougher fight than he knows. The last time the
White House made the kind of retreat Trump envisions when President Bush
walked away from the Kyoto protocol in 2001 the policy landscape of
climate change was drastically different.
.
Much of the action on climate change in this country no longer plays out
in federal agencies but at local commissions enforcing laws in 29 states
that push public utilities to go green. Their mandates are to encourage
investment in cleaner plants and technology development.
.
Major U.S. trading partners that signed on to the nearly 200-nation accord
reached in Paris last year are already signaling that they will retaliate
if the United States backs out, possibly by slapping environmental trade
tariffs onto some American products.
.
Bailing on the deal could also increase the influence of China, itself
once a chief climate pariah and now a green-energy powerhouse and lead
instigator of international climate agreements. Trump is poised to create
a leadership vacuum in the fight against climate change that would only
expand Beijings reach, Chinese officials say.
.
None of those potential consequences faze the free-market think tanks
urging Trump to go rogue. Just weeks ago, these groups were on the lonely
fringe, pursuing an agenda written off as wacky by the mainstream science
community, but now find themselves helping drive policy at the highest
levels.
