Trump's Attack On Global Warming Accord Is Part Of His Nationalist Ideology
Trump has taken his first steps to attack the EPA and the US commitment to the Paris Accord. His actions have been cheered by the fossil fuel industry but this article explains the connection between his "America First" campaign and Trump's policies on the environment. The fight against global warming cannot not be accomplished by any nation acting alone because all nations emit carbon into the air. Trump has adopted a nationalistic approach to solving all of our problems. He opposes trade agreements, NATO, the UN and almost all international organizations. His attack against our efforts to mitigate global warming is totally consistent with his nationalism. Far right nationalist groups in Europe have taken a similar stance on global warming.
