Climate Realism: Ignoring Trump's Climate Denial is a Disaster | JQJO

A new Council on Foreign Relations initiative, the Climate Realism Initiative, proposes a strategy to address climate change by focusing on technological advancements and geoengineering, rather than emission reductions. This approach, criticized for prioritizing national interests over global cooperation and neglecting the U.S.'s historical contribution to climate change, is deemed insufficient. The author advocates for leveraging American strengths in finance and software, coupled with market-based approaches to renewable energy deployment, as a more effective strategy. The current Trump administration's policies, characterized by deregulation and anti-climate actions, further complicate the challenge.
