Trump vs. The Environment

In countless important areas, the Trump administration has the United States going in the wrong direction. The following link is the environmental rollback tracker for the Trump administration, highlighting (or LOWlighting) how backwards this administration is on the environment.

Here’s a quote from Climate Action Campaign that summarizes the unfortunate tack this administration is taking against the health of this planet that we all share:

“The Trump administration has accelerated the climate crisis and endangered communities’ health, driven up costs and undermined economic growth. The rollbacks tracked below – cuts to extreme weather preparedness, frozen investments, and blocked pollution protections, and more – will have a devastating impact on every American, and particularly the most vulnerable.

On April 29, 2025, CAC released the 100 Days, 100 Harms Tracker edition in an attempt to paint a picture of the pain the new administration had already inflicted on the climate, economy, health, and wellbeing of the American people in its first 100 days.” – Climate Action Campaign

Hopefully, the next administration will be able to reverse course. However, what are the chances of that happening under a Republican administration? Not great, I’d wager.

“Climate Action Campaign (CAC) is a vibrant coalition driving ambitious, durable, equitable federal action to tackle the climate crisis. By cutting carbon pollution and accelerating the transition to clean energy, we will improve public health and create a more resilient economy and a more sustainable future for all.

CAC member organizations include: Center for American Progress, Earthjustice, Environment America, Environmental Defense Fund, League of Conservation Voters, National Hispanic Medical Association, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Union of Concerned Scientists, U.S. Climate Action Network, and WE ACT for Environmental Justice.

CAC also supports more than 60 partners and allies nationally and in 10 states working together to rally public support to tackle the climate crisis.“
