COMMENTARY

By Michael McKenna - Wednesday, January 15, 2025

OPINION:


These last few months have been, for climate warriors, the winter of their discontent, unlikely to be made glorious summer anytime soon.

Their bête noir, President-elect Donald Trump, soon will taking the oath after winning pretty much every contested state and the popular vote. They can now anticipate that Mr. Trump will withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord and, ultimately, from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

In anticipation of this, finance companies such as Morgan Stanley and BlackRock have walked away from efforts to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions. The People’s Republic of China has made it clear that it has no intention of achieving net zero. The United States, which has never as a nation committed to a net zero goal, will certainly not commit to one during a Trump administration.

Back in the physical world, data centers needed to capitalize on the promise of artificial intelligence, will use power generated by new power plants, some or most of which will be fired by natural gas. So we will need more pipelines. At the same time, sales of battery-powered vehicles are less robust than they need to be to meet Team Biden’s goal of all new vehicles being battery-powered 10 short years from now.

Even in California, people are not attributing the fires to climate change. They seem to intuitively understand that when you build houses in the dry brush, bad things can happen when the Santa Ana winds come out of the desert. Oddly enough, political scientist Roger Pielke has pointed out that attributing the fires to climate change is a little shaky.
