Here are what Trump’s cabinet picks have said about climate change

1. “Folks, let me tell you, nobody does climate change like we do. It’s gonna be **tremendous**. The biggest, most powerful climate disasters you’ve ever seen. People are saying, ‘Wow, under Trump, the hurricanes, the fires—they’re **HUGE**, record-breaking!’ And guess what? It’s all because *we’re winning.* The rest of the world can’t compete with our level of destruction. Believe me, it’s phenomenal! Everyone’s saying it.”

2. It may be premature and speculative to come to any conclusion about these appointments. Some of their past statements and actions are moderate. If you view them only through the lens of climate activism they are hopeless. But all of them may be approachable on certain issues (like Zeldin on coastal conservation). But that’s likely as good as it gets. I expect zero support for EV tax credits and net zero 2050 anything. But renewables, geothermal, and nuclear will continue to grow where they are economically advantageous.

3. I know you hate Trump but you should hate Biden and Harris just as much or more.

4. The practice of writing “scientists say …” is a horrible practice rather than “conclude”, “inform us”, etc

5. The party of domestic terrorism supports ecoterrorism. I really hope the rest of the world has a plan

6. I live in the north east of the us. It’s 60 something degrees out. It’s almost December… nothing to see here, folks!
