Comment on Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic to Lead EPA Transition

Comments

Anyone have anything to offer on what "checks and balances" would be put in place against dismantling the little environmental progress we've made in the past 8 years?

We seem pretty screwed. This guy seems as in the industry pocket as possible.

Oh yeah, royally screwed.

But emails though

State level actions.

When many state legislatures are controlled by republicans? Good luck.

Here in New England we already have an interstate compact on climate action, so non-federal interstate cooperation is a pretty normal thing.

True meanwhile the red states will go apeshit, but we have to start somewhere.

And given that the Paris Conference will start discussing trade policy regarding non-signatory nations, I think even Trump will have to sit up and pay attention soon.

Start getting the larger population centers to refuse to do business with states which reinstitute damaging energy and environmental policies.

New York and California can move mountains here.
