When the planet survive, the future should be green. It seems China will understand it, but the US is blowing.

Meteorologists predict what will be Some relief in August from a brutal thermal wave that swept most of America. But it’s just a temporary respite. This year’s burning weather is just a prediction Even more boiling future This climate change for us inventory. Unfortunately, for the US and the world, the Donald Trump administration strives for the nostalgic fossil and deregulation program that will enhance climate change and dull any opportunity to mitigate its consequences.
The Trump administration was busy delayed and the rules needed to combat the climatic crisis. For example, under Joe Biden, the Occupational Labor Administration (OSHA) offered a new heat standard, which will require employers to protect workers from high heat. American perspective report that Trump administration has not taken steps to implement this new standard and has “sharply shrunk 1400 the workforce of the organization that finances and develops research that support OSHA rules. “
Current Issue
But in this matter, it is nothing compared to a nightmare that Trump apparently contains the environmental agency. On Tuesday, Washington Post report.
The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday submitted the proposal to abolish the legal conclusion, which underlies almost all its rules to stop climate change.
This step will finish the EPA rules on greenhouse gases that are ejected by vehicles from light cars to heavy trucks, as well as violate rules that limit power plants and control methane with oil and gas companies.
Climate change has long become the subject of a political score. In 2009, the Barack Obama administration decided that greenhouse gases were threatened with public health and could be regulated. In his first term, Trump used his executive powers to cancel many Obama’s environmental policies, which were later restored under Joe Biden.
But the new proposal goes much further. It is designed to fundamentally deprive EPA forces to combat climates. Right climate refusal Mirron Ebel with the US Land Council told Pillar“If the threat conclusion is recalled, this match for pingpings will be much more difficult for the future democratic administration or abolished from the green republican president.”
In truth, the Ping Pong match that Ebel describes was always uneven. While Republicans from Trump to George W. Bush were diligent enthusiasts to the eternal dominance of fossil fuel, and Obama, and Biden were only half. The measures they took, while welcome, are unlikely to be on the scale necessary to combat the climatic crisis.
Writing in Financial times In December, historian Adam also rightly noted that the Democrats were complicit in allowing the US to go into energy transition:
Like new sources of power is one thing. Seriously refer to the transition of energy – this is quite another. The view of firmly customized carbon prices, which is applied in Europe, came out of Washington style, with the failure of Obama and trade proposal in 2010. The desirable energy policy in America is greater, more, as little as possible. After many years of great investment in Thrace, the United States at Biden became the largest oil producer that the world has never seen. Trump plans to increase production by another 3 million barrels. Decarbanization of electricity power will continue because wind and solar energy are now much cheaper. But despite the hurricanes that regularly destroy the parts of the country, any broad ambition is to achieve climatic goals in America.
Toze contrasted the flawlessness of the United States and Europe with much more stable and serious investment in renewable sources conducted by China. He concluded:
As far as the global climate leader should be, only China, which is responsible for more than 30 percent of the world’s emissions and has mastered the network of green energy … (China) will not resolve the climatic crisis, but it claims to be difficult to respond to.
This requirement has been backed up Bright statistics that is also presented in May in your blog Graph. In 2001, as he wrote, the US created 21.2 percent of the new global wind and solar potential; Europe. 65.1 percent; And China, only 0.6 percent. By 2024 the figures were: US, 7.7 percent; Europe, 12.5 percent; China, 63.3 percent. While the US and Europe produce much more renewable energy than in 2001, they are now minor renewable players and China is superpowered.

In Phenomenal worldResearchers on the environment Tim Saha and Kate Mackenzi Built on Tooze Studies To document the much broader Chinese domination in pure energy, which is evidenced by new Chinese innovations in electric vehicles developed by Build Your Dream (BYD). They noted:
Baid, a leading Chinese manufacturer EV, jumped out of his home market in a great international expansion, threatening the future European Political coalitions have grown around the engine of internal combustion and causing new waves of anxiety among Western politicians and captains. Chinese dramatic pop up Investments are expected in “new” – EVS, batteries and solar panels – fall By 2030, the demand for oil for 5 million barrels per day. One hundred plus country To get rid of expensive imported hydrocarbons to solar enhancements of electrical self -sufficiency.
If human civilization must have a sustainable future, it must be green. It is possible that such a green future will not appear, at least not enough to prevent the collapse of society. China’s innovation can be too little, too late. But there is also a likelihood that they will build our only path from the disaster.
Unlike this, the US is already on the way to the technological bay and the climate of Albatross. The country will be part of the problem, not part of the solution. Pressing insufficient policies, Obama and Biden put the United States on the path to its current environmental weakness. Trump, of course, is doing something worse – not just slow innovative, but also takes the US back. The only result of this fossil fuel fanatic will be the destroyed planet and the future formed by China.

“The tide turns,” says Bernie Sanders. “The American people do not want to spend billions to starve in the newspaper.”
The rule of law stipulates that there are rules that provide consistent, repetitive and well -known set of results. This is not the case.
Trump’s popularity in Freefall, 2026 should become an affiliation for the opposition. But there are signs that Dems can sleep in a disaster.
