Project 2025, a conservative “battle plan” for the next Republican president, would stop attempts to cut the pollution that is heating the planet and encourage more emissions.
Needless to say, this is not a strategy for stabilizing the temperature, but for making things worse.
Yes actually - the Inflation Reduction Act was designed as a decarbonization bill. It needed the votes of Manchin and Sinema (who are in the pocket of the fossil fuels industry) to pass, so it aims for vehicle electrification, and is carrots-only. Get them the kind of super-majority with a few votes to spare, and we’d see a real policy change.
Do you think democrats are much better? Not seen many measures from them to stop car obsession in the US…😔
