Project 2025 is truly scary (Paywall free link). Even though I'm a Canadian, I'm scared. Scared for my US friends and family and what this plan will do to their lives. And scared for myself, because just the plans to gut environmental regulations will have a huge effect on Canada and the rest of the world.
Climate: Project 2025 calls for rolling back emissions regulations and reversing all of the Biden administration’s progress in fighting the climate crisis. The plan would dismantle the Inflation Reduction Act, increase fossil-fuel extraction on public lands, eliminate clean-energy programs, gut the Environmental Protection Agency, and enact other measures that would supercharge America’s drive toward climate disaster. The plan says explicitly that the United States has an “obligation to develop vast oil and gas and coal resources,” and calls for ending “the focus on the climate crisis and green subsidies.”
Then there's the effects on foreign policy, like stopping aid the Ukraine and leaving NATO, which the article doesn't touch on.
If you thought 2016-2020 was horrible, it will be nothing compared to what could be coming if Trump wins in November.
