  • U.S. Accelerates Climate Rollback, Fueling Global Warming and Economic Strain

    U.S. Accelerates Climate Rollback, Fueling Global Warming and Economic Strain
    Jan 28 2026
    In the past week, marking one year since President Trump's second inauguration on January 20, 2025, the United States has accelerated its rollback of federal climate policies, recording 304 deregulatory actions as tracked by the Sabin Center's Climate Backtracker at Columbia Law School. These include executive orders like Unleashing American Energy and Declaring a National Energy Emergency, which prioritize fossil fuel development, fast-track oil and gas permitting, reopen Alaska's Arctic refuge for drilling, and pause or terminate wind and solar projects while reviving coal plants set to close. The Department of Energy leads these efforts, followed by the Environmental Protection Agency, with formal rulemaking now comprising nearly a third of actions, doubling the pace of Trump's first term.

    The New York Times reports that this embrace of fossil fuels and withdrawal from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, ordered by White House executive order in January 2026, adds fuel to global warming, making it harder to limit temperature rises to safe levels. Bloomberg analysis reveals a stealth heat tax has already cost Americans one trillion dollars, with temperature changes cutting U.S. incomes by twelve percent on average from 2000 to 2019 due to hotter conditions.

    Globally, the world remains on track to exceed the Paris Agreement's 1.5-degree Celsius target by decade's end, ahead of projections, as noted in Climate Tech Venture Review updates for January 21, 2026. A United Nations report highlights water bankruptcy from depleted freshwater resources, while sinking boreal trees in the deep Arctic Ocean could sequester billions of tons of carbon yearly, per Phys.org. Earth.Org's January 2026 week three roundup attributes recent heatwaves to climate change, adding 1.6 degrees Celsius despite La Nina cooling, with thirty-two fossil fuel companies responsible for half of 2024's global carbon dioxide emissions.

    Emerging patterns show U.S. policy shifts clashing with scientific consensus on rising extreme heat, economic damages, and resource strains, as the Cleantech Forum North America convenes in San Diego from January 26 to 28 to discuss climate technologies amid these tensions.

  • Setbacks for Trump's Clean Energy Rollbacks: Federal Courts Restore Grants and Offshore Wind Farms

    Setbacks for Trump's Clean Energy Rollbacks: Federal Courts Restore Grants and Offshore Wind Farms
    Jan 24 2026
    In the past week, two United States federal courts delivered major setbacks to the Trump administration's efforts to block clean energy projects. Earth.Org reports that on Monday, Judge Amit P. Mehta of the US District Court for the District of Columbia ruled the administration's halt on millions of dollars in clean energy grants unlawful, noting it primarily targeted projects in Democratic-led states. The judge ordered the grants restored and the administration to pay plaintiffs' legal fees. Similarly, three federal judges in Washington and Virginia authorized the restart of three offshore wind farms, including one operated by the Norwegian group Equinor off New York, as Le Monde notes these actions counter the administration's dismantling of climate policies.

    These rulings highlight ongoing legal battles amid broader rollbacks. France24 indicates the administration is finalizing repeal of the 2009 Endangerment Finding, the scientific basis for US climate rules under the Clean Air Act, with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin calling it the largest deregulation effort in US history. The move argues greenhouse gases are not traditional pollutants and their regulation cannot solve a global issue. Earth.Org details how, one year into Trump's term, the administration has cut climate research funding, terminated the US Global Change Research Program, shut down climate.gov and NOAA's Billion Dollar Weather and Climate Disaster dataset, and blocked billions in clean energy funds, leaving projects in limbo.

    Emissions trends underscore the stakes. Le Monde cites Rhodium Group data showing US greenhouse gas emissions rose 2.4 percent in 2025 after two years of decline, driven by a harsher winter boosting natural gas and heating oil use in buildings by nearly seven percent. Photovoltaic production soared 34 percent last year, but Congress eliminated most solar and wind tax credits in summer 2025, risking reversal.

    Globally, Earth.Org confirms 2025 as the third hottest year on record, with scientists now expecting 1.5 degrees Celsius warming exceeded by decade's end, per ASLA's January update. A powerful winter storm, Winter Storm Fern, threatens over 230 million Americans with snow, ice, and emergencies in 14 states and Washington DC, as Mathrubhumi reports, fueling debates amid Trump's skepticism.

    These events reveal patterns of policy reversals clashing with court interventions and rising emissions, even as renewable momentum persists under legal pressure.

  • Headline: "Trump Administration Faces Setbacks in Clean Energy Efforts, as Climate Crisis Escalates"

    Headline: "Trump Administration Faces Setbacks in Clean Energy Efforts, as Climate Crisis Escalates"
    Jan 21 2026
    Two major court victories this week dealt significant setbacks to the Trump administration's efforts to obstruct clean energy projects across the United States. On Monday, Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the administration's decision to halt millions of dollars in clean energy grants was unlawful, determining that the action primarily targeted projects in Democratic-led states. The judge ordered the administration to restore the grants and cover the plaintiffs' legal fees. The following day, a federal judge in Washington, D.C. ruled that Danish wind farm developer Orsted can proceed with construction of a five billion dollar wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island. The Interior Department had ordered a ninety-day pause on this project and four others last month, citing undisclosed national security concerns, despite the Rhode Island project being ninety percent complete.

    These legal victories stand in stark contrast to the administration's broader push against renewable energy initiatives. The Trump administration has systematically worked to halt solar and wind projects nationwide while accelerating oil and gas drilling on federal lands. In October, the Interior Department announced plans to open one point five six million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northern Alaska to oil and gas leasing, reversing a Biden-era moratorium. Additionally, the administration announced plans to open almost one point three billion acres of U.S. coastal waters to new oil and gas drilling, with the One Big Beautiful Bill mandating at least thirty six oil and gas lease sales in federal waters.

    Meanwhile, the global climate picture continues to deteriorate. According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, 2025 was confirmed as the third hottest year on record. Carlo Buontempo, Director of the service, emphasized that the past eleven years have been the eleven warmest years on record, stating that the world is rapidly approaching the long-term temperature limit set by the Paris Agreement. Scientists now expect the planet will exceed one point five degrees Celsius of warming by the end of this decade, marking a critical threshold in climate science.

    In January, the White House issued an executive order for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, signaling a dramatic shift in the nation's international climate commitment. The administration has also begun dismantling the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a twenty seven billion dollar lending program designed to spur private investment in clean energy. These actions underscore an administration prioritizing fossil fuel expansion over climate mitigation at a moment when global temperatures continue their unprecedented climb.
