The global climate movement is already feeling the sting of the “trump effect” after green energy policies were a target of President Donald Trump’s First executive orders, according to energy experts reacting to the president’s first week in office.
Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday, signing numerous executive orders aimed at unraveling former President Joe Biden climate agenda.
“President Trump has wasted no time undoing Biden’s many climate policies designed to make energy more expensive and less affordable. America and the world can look forward to a brighter future because of the actions President Trump has begun on his first day in office,” Myron Ebell, president of the American Lands Council, said in a statement.
But Ebell added that “it’s going to be a long, hard fight because of the fierce opposition” from climate groups.

This week, Trump signed a executive order To make the United States climate standards, which aimed to reduce emissions 61-66% by 2035.
Additionally, the president ended the electric vehicle (EV) mandate and withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement, a legally binding treaty between more than 190 parties committed to international cooperation on climate change.

“President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Accords is a victory for American workers and families, rejecting policies that prioritize the interests of the Chinese Communist Party over our own,” said Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute and a former representative of the state of Texas.

“The Paris framework does nothing to mitigate a changing climate, but it increases energy costs and burdens Americans with decarbonization mandates rooted in climate deception. By making American energy more affordable and accessible, the President Trump is benefiting not only our nation but the world.”
Marc Morano, editor of Climate Depot, a communications platform for climate issues designed by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, a D.C.-based public policy group, said Trump’s second term “could become one of the most important parts of our lives.
“Trump is about to, once and for all, put a stake at the heart of the UN’s globalist climate change scam,” Morano said in a statement shared with Fox. “The Trump effect is already derailing climate summits of the UN, canceling EV mandates, disintegrating the Wall Street climate group and net zero targets Trump’s policies could have the effect of collapsing the entire House of Climate Cards.

Trump’s executive orders were not accepted by many Democratic lawmakers and climate groups, who criticized the president’s executive orders.
“It’s day two of Trump’s second presidency, and there are three things we know for sure: there is no energy emergency; there is a climate emergency; and the policies implemented in these last 24 hours will worsen the climate crisis,” Manish said Bapna, president and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress plan even deeper into reversing green energy policies enacted over the past four years. Republicans in the House have already introduced legislation to Block Biden’s climate standards in household appliances.
