The Trump victory sets back the world’s attempt to rein in dangerous levels of warming and potentially isolates the United States in the global energy transition.

Trump has called climate change a “hoax,” he pulled the United States out of the 2015 Paris climate accord during his first term and has said he would do so again. He has also pledged to expand oil and gas production, eliminate subsidies for clean energy and electric vehicles, and roll back regulations aimed at reducing planet-warming emissions.

President-elect Trump vowed to promote fossil fuels, weaken pollution regulations and reverse Biden administration climate efforts

The election of Donald Trump as president for a second time and the Republican takeback of the U.S. Senate could undo many of the national climate policies that are most reducing planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions,

He won support with pledges to solve economic woes. But his fossil-fueled solutions and retreat from international cooperation would worsen the climate crisis.

Despite Donald Trump’s focus on fossil fuels, his return to the White House won’t derail clean energy, analysts and activists say.

The US, which is currently the world’s second-largest greenhouse-gas emitter and has added more climate pollution to the atmosphere than any other nation, is now very unlikely to hit Biden’s 2030 goal. That’s basically the final nail in the coffin for efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) over preindustrial levels.

A Donald Trump presidential election victory would have huge implications for U.S. trade policy, climate change, the war in Ukraine, electric vehicles, Americans' taxes and illegal immigration.While some of his proposals would require congressional approval,

Donald Trump's election victory puts a climate change denier back in the White House, poised to dismantle his predecessor's green policies and jeopardize global efforts to curb human-caused warming.

“We still have votes to count, we still have states that have not been called yet,” Cedric Richmond, co-chair of Harris’ campaign, told supporters Wednesday morning, promising the Democratic nominee would address “the nation” at some point later that day.
