Climate Policy

Climate Change:  Upon his inauguration into office, President Trump removed the US from the Paris Climate Agreement for the second time, making us one of four countries (Iran, Libya, Yemen) not participating in this organization whose goal is to limit climate pollution. Additionally, President Trump issued an executive order that declared a ‘national state of emergency’ and temporarily stopped new wind energy projects on federal land and water pending an environmental and economic review.  President Biden supported the Paris Climate Agreement but the US continues to be the largest oil producer in the world.  Heat-trapping emissions are rising and weather related disasters devastate communities across the globe.  At the same time, energy needs grow driven in part by the AI data centers.  Create a climate policy and discuss your reasoning in a 1 ½-2 page paper describing your position.
