Shalinkar Godrich of the Western Environment Law Center (Welk) is concerned about the administration’s efforts to separate the United States from the rest of the world, and the country’s scientific research capability.
“I’m not seeing how it is [isolationism] In any field, the US can serve the interests, leave in the fields of climate action and protection, “he said,” These are global issues with very important domestic consequences, and the fact that we are separating ourselves from the rest of the world seems to be a deep mistake. “
Burger said the administration’s climate and energy policies “represent the lost opportunity for the United States.” “This is a waste opportunity to play a leading role in the development of the green economy. This is a waste opportunity to continue the key political leadership in the international community on the climate.”
He added, “We have a short window to reduce dramatic greenhouse gas emissions. We are losing time.”
Will it be tolerated?
Burger said the “big question” about Trump’s other 100 days is non -accountable. “Is this success in the first 100 days in any way, shape or shape?” He asked. “Or is it a huge failure?” He said, “What will be tolerated for these 100 days of official uncertainty and fluctuations” How will the courts finally respond to the attack on the rule of law and administrative principles? “
In the SELC, Gesler echoed the diagnosis. He said that the lasting heritage of this administration would be determined by how the nation responds to it. He pointed out that after the previous “bandit Baron era”, the country saw an increase in support for progressive ideology, which led to social protection, food safety laws, civil service reforms and other progress.
Jesler said, “There is a lot of disruption and disruption in the next many years, but I am sure that the administration that is doing at the base does not support the majority of the people in this country, at least when it comes to the environment,” said Jesler.
“We have seen a large number of announcements from agencies and executive orders and the White House from press release from the White House, and there is less real administrative action,” said Burger. If the legal process goes ahead with what is considered, he said, “Many of the administration’s orders” should be removed. “
Organizations like the NRDC, Welk, and SELC are fighting the fight.
“My assumption is that their attempt is to try to overwhelm the zone and people instead of complying with the law,” said Michael Wall, a NRDC chief legal fuse officer. “We do not intend to be overwhelmed.”
