Chicago Greens Oppose the Elimination of All Environmental Measures
by the Current Administration
Trump is abandoning efforts to reduce global warming, attacked longstanding environmental regulations, and has fired federal employees en masse who enforce those rules. Every corner of the world is now experiencing the effects of the rising temperatures. The speed and scale of Mr. Trump’s efforts to uproot climate policy is unprecedented. He has frozen funds appropriated by Congress for clean energy projects, taking particular aim at wind energy, the country’s largest source of renewable power. Mr. Trump has declared an energy emergency, giving himself the authority to fast-track the construction of oil and gas projects, fostering the upply as well as demand for fossil fuels.
