Adding Up Trump's Climate Rollbacks

Steve Baragona

   When Donald Trump was elected president nearly four years ago, experts
   expected his policies would end up raising U.S. greenhouse gas
   emissions significantly.

   "President Trump has fulfilled that expectation," said Michael Gerrard,
   director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia
   University.

   A recent [1]analysis from research firm the Rhodium Group calculates
   that the most significant Trump administration rule rollbacks will mean
   total cumulative U.S. emissions will be 3% higher by 2035 than they
   would have been without them.
