Nov 9, 2024, 04:00 AM

President-elect Donald Trump is preparing a series of executive orders aimed at withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate agreement. The New York Times reports that Trump's transition team has already drafted these orders, which also include plans to reduce the size of some national monuments to allow for increased drilling and mining activities. Additionally, the orders will lift the pause on liquefied natural gas (LNG) export permits. This move signifies a significant shift in U.S. climate policy, prioritizing fossil fuel development over environmental protections. The New York Times reported these developments on Friday.
