Climate scientists are expressing concerns about the potential impact of Donald Trump's second term on climate action. They fear he may reverse progress made under the Biden administration, particularly regarding the Paris Agreement and clean energy initiatives. This year has seen record temperatures and extreme weather events, raising alarms about climate change. Scientists warn that without significant global efforts, the world may soon exceed critical climate thresholds. Trump's campaign has emphasized fossil fuel production, and experts predict a shift towards policies that favor increased emissions. They believe this could hinder international climate cooperation and undermine U.S. leadership in addressing climate issues.
