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.
