Former President Donald Trump recently shared climate talking points on social media that were apparently provided by his former EPA administrator, Andrew Wheeler, in preparation for an upcoming debate with President Joe Biden.
Trump, known for his skepticism towards the climate crisis, has consistently downplayed its significance and worked to dismantle environmental regulations during his time in office.
The talking points highlighted in the post criticize President Biden for rejoining the Paris climate accord, a crucial global agreement aimed at limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius. Trump had controversially withdrawn the US from the accord during his presidency.
Additionally, the points raised concerns over Biden's decision to revoke the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, labeling it as 'canceling pipelines.' They also emphasized the perceived energy dominance achieved by the US under the Trump administration.
Trump's reliance on these talking points underscores the contrasting approaches of his administration and the current administration regarding climate policy and energy initiatives.
