Center for #BiologicalDiversity ’s #ClimateLaw Institute: “The…ignorance is trumped only by its malice toward the planet.”

Despite the enormous and growing body of evidence…including trillions of dollars in economic costs, Trump has called the #climatecrisis a “hoax"…

#Biden’s #InflationReductionAct is the largest US #ClimateLaw in history, valued at over $400B total. That figure includes grants & other spending to spur #CleanEnergy deployment, along w/ tax incentives & credits.

#Trump, who has called #ClimateChange a “hoax”, said in an economy-focused speech on Sept 5 that he wants to "rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act" if elected.

#Biden admin spending #climate cash fast, as #Trump threatens to cancel it

Trump has said he would cancel all unspent funds from President Joe Biden's signature #ClimateLaw if he wins the presidential #election on Nov 5.

But the vast majority of grants will be spent by the time a new president takes office in Jan, & targeting what remains would be a massive #legal challenge.

South Korea Constitutional Court orders improved Climate Action by government, could set precedent for similar cases in Taiwan and Japan:

“The court said South Korea's carbon neutrality act, enacted in 2010 and revised later to lay out emissions targets by 2030 and the goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050, failed to present "any quantitative levels" for the reductions targets between 2031 and 2049”
