Trump Return Could See Climate Progress ‘Unraveled,’ Sally Jewell Says
The former Interior secretary said she’s “terrified” about what a second Trump administration could mean for climate and environmental policy.

12 July 2024 at 5:15 am AESTSally Jewell, who served as US Interior secretary from 2013 to 2017, said the climate stakes of the election in November “could not be higher” and that she’s “really afraid for the future of our planet” should former President Donald Trump return to the White House.
“To go backwards is not acceptable,” Jewell told attendees at the Bloomberg Green Festival in Seattle on Thursday. “I can’t say enough about the importance of continuing the progress that has been made over the last three years” on climate change, she added, especially the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.
…
One of the biggest hurdles to getting to net zero is that consumers still aren’t paying for putting carbon in the atmosphere, Jewell said. Economic incentives are needed: “Until we start shining a spotlight on the true impact, I don’t think people are going to begin to change their behaviors.”

There is much conjecture that a warming world will be bad, and that it is unprecedented. But humans are causing this so it must be bad, right? Wrong. Scientific observations do not support this. The fossil records show that virtually all modern life had evolved by 150 million years ago; when it was far warmer and there was far more CO2 in the atmosphere than today. There is no evidence that things are getting bad. In fact, while there are reports that some species are doing poorly in some areas, the overwhelming evidence is that things such as habitat destruction, poor fishing practices, and the like, are to blame. Example: Some reefs that were in serious decline have "miraculously" recovered just by making them Marine Protected Areas. The rising ocean temperature and acidification that were blamed have not changed. Add to that; the models said plant life will suffer - also wrong. NASA satellite observations show that overall, desert areas are shrinking and the density of green plants is increasing along with the area covered by them. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) keeps fantastic records of crop yields from virtually every country. Crops have never done so well and are doing better year by year. While a lot of this is due to improved farming practices, NASA indicates that the increase of atmospheric CO2 is largely responsible. As well as the increase in plant food (CO2) the plants don't lose as much water through transpiration so they are more drought tolerant. Apparently some learned person decided conditions must have been optimum around the time that human civilization first began. Based on what? Homo Sapiens evolved in one of the hottest places on the planet. All of the great civilizations peaked during the warmest periods. Doesn't that tell us something?
