  • Climate Policy Upheaval: U.S. Retreats on Protections as States Forge Ahead

    Climate Policy Upheaval: U.S. Retreats on Protections as States Forge Ahead
    Dec 31 2025
    In the United States, the Trump administration has aggressively rolled back climate protections throughout 2025, marking a sharp departure from prior policies. Inside Climate News reports that the Environmental Protection Agency announced plans to revoke the endangerment finding, the legal basis for regulating climate-warming gases, a move environmental advocates say will embolden polluters. The administration also rolled back Biden-era fuel economy standards in December, initiating a lengthy rulemaking process that prioritizes fossil fuels. An executive order ended taxpayer support for what it called unaffordable green energy, following a congressional bill that curbed wind and solar development, with Republicans in states like Missouri, North Dakota, New Jersey, and Iowa pushing for even stronger restrictions amid a thirty-eight percent rise in such policies in Missouri alone.

    Despite federal retreats, states have driven progress. Climate XChange details California's actions: Governor Gavin Newsom signed bills in October extending the cap-and-invest program through 2045, requiring large cities to create electrification plans by 2030, and expanding streamlined reviews for geothermal plants. On December seventeenth, the California Air Resources Board updated the Landfill Methane Rule to cut emissions forty percent below 2013 levels by 2030, using satellite imaging for leak detection. Newsom's executive order accelerated Inflation Reduction Act tax credits for energy projects. In Colorado, the Public Utilities Commission mandated gas utilities to slash emissions forty-one percent below 2015 levels by 2035, exceeding prior targets, while a multi-agency report projects fifty percent reductions from 2005 levels by 2031. Connecticut's emissions inventory showed a one-point-five percent rise from 2022 to 2023 due to a nuclear outage, but declines in transportation and buildings from efficient vehicles and milder winters.

    Extreme weather underscored risks: Tropical Depression Chantal caused severe flooding in North Carolina, where lawmakers weakened clean energy rules amid recovery, as scientists link warming to storm intensity.

    Worldwide, COP30 in Brazil ended weakly without strong US engagement, per Mother Jones, as America withdrew again from the Paris Agreement, per Geopolitique.eu, shifting leadership to China on renewables. The Invading Sea notes US isolation allowed others to advance climate action. Emerging patterns reveal federal fossil fuel favoritism clashing with state innovations, intensifying divides as storms worsen.

  • Innovative States Outpace Federal Climate Rollbacks, Deliver Economic Benefits

    Innovative States Outpace Federal Climate Rollbacks, Deliver Economic Benefits
    Dec 27 2025
    In 2025, the United States faced intensified federal rollbacks on climate action under President Trump, even as states and local leaders pushed forward with resilience. The U.S. Climate Alliance reported that its member states collectively reduced net greenhouse gas emissions by 24 percent below 2005 levels, outpacing the rest of the country, while boosting gross domestic product by 34 percent, proving climate action fuels economic growth. New data from the Alliance's annual report showed that meeting these reduction goals could save Americans 11 billion dollars per year by 2030, escalating to 185 billion dollars annually by 2050 through policies like widespread heat pump adoption, electric vehicles, and solar installations.

    Despite record heat, wildfires, floods, and extreme weather worldwide, federal efforts languished. The Santa Barbara Independent detailed how Trump's administration rewarded coal, oil, and gas donors with 450 million dollars in contributions by increasing subsidies, tax breaks, removing pollution controls, and canceling nearly 2,000 renewable projects, mostly solar, wind, and battery storage. CBS News confirmed plans to shutter the largest federal climate research lab, labeling it a source of climate alarmism, with potential consequences for scientific progress. Grist noted Trump's push to gut a Biden-era law projected to cut U.S. emissions by a third, stalling Paris Agreement goals, and using tactics to derail global shipping decarbonization.

    States countered aggressively. Maine Governor Janet Mills transformed homes with heat pumps, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek built community resilience, and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers led conservation. The Alliance, with Climate Mayors, urged use of expiring federal clean energy tax credits. At COP30 in Belem, Brazil, U.S. delegates including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Evers showcased state momentum amid federal retreat.

    Emerging patterns reveal a divided nation: federal denial erodes national leadership, yet state innovations in clean cars, energy, and resilience sustain progress. The U.S. Climate Alliance identified pathways for deep cuts via existing state policies, highlighting trillions in long-term benefits if momentum holds against Washington opposition. Worldwide, events like the Africa Climate Summit in Ethiopia and UN Environment Assembly in Kenya underscore global resolve, but U.S. isolation risks delaying emission reductions critical to temperature goals.

  • Extreme Weather and Climate Policy Battles Reshape America's Landscape

    Extreme Weather and Climate Policy Battles Reshape America's Landscape
    Dec 24 2025
    Across the United States this week, climate change is shaping both extreme weather and political battles. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that the year is ending with record warmth across much of the country, extending an unusually long wildfire season in the West and deepening drought conditions in parts of the southern Plains and Southwest, while intense, moisture laden storms have brought repeated flooding to the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Midwest. The National Weather Service has linked these extremes to the combination of a strong El Nino and the long term warming trend driven by greenhouse gas emissions.

    According to the United States Drought Monitor, severe to exceptional drought now grips large areas of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and the central Great Plains, stressing water supplies and agriculture, while California and the Mountain West face below average snowpack that threatens next years water security. At the same time, the National Interagency Fire Center reports that fall and winter fire activity has persisted in states such as California and Oregon, with officials warning that hotter, drier conditions are lengthening the traditional fire season.

    On the coasts, new research from the University of California system has highlighted accelerating sea level rise driven by climate change, projecting that by mid century tens of thousands of homes and critical infrastructure around the San Francisco Bay, Miami, and low lying communities along the Gulf Coast could face chronic flooding. The study warns that sunny day, or tidal, flooding is already becoming more frequent, a trend the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has also documented along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

    Amid these impacts, climate policy fights have intensified. The New York Times reports that a federal judge has blocked the Federal Emergency Management Agency from canceling four and a half billion dollars in climate resiliency grants under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, a win for twenty two states that argued the projects will prevent an estimated one hundred fifty billion dollars in disaster damages over the next two decades. The United States Climate Alliance, a coalition of states committed to the Paris Agreement, says its members have now cut net greenhouse gas emissions to about twenty four percent below two thousand five levels while their economies grew, and governors are accelerating investments in heat pumps, electric vehicles, and grid modernization.

    Globally, the United Nations climate secretariat and scientific bodies including the World Meteorological Organization warn that worldwide emissions remain near record highs, and that without faster cuts, extreme heat waves, megafires, and flooding events seen this year on every continent will become even more frequent and severe.
