Right-Wing Political Shift Threatens Climate Progress in U.S. and Europe
Doug McIntyre and David Callaway discuss the potential impact of right-wing political shifts on climate policies in the U.S. and Europe. Doug highlights that while the new right-wing leaning parliament in Brussels might not roll back all climate regulations, they are likely to freeze or hamper them. He also notes that if Donald Trump is re-elected, his administration would be unfriendly to EVs and alternative energy subsidies, potentially setting back U.S. climate efforts by years. David adds that Trump’s right-wing populist message has influenced global politics, with significant right-wing gains seen in Europe. This trend threatens to derail progressive climate agendas.
