Trump Ending War on Fossil Fuels and CO2

Donald Trump wasted no time issuing more than 200 sweeping Executive Orders, many pertaining directly to issues that the CO2 Coalition has championed since our inception ten years ago.


Paris Climate Accord - The United States Ambassador to the United Nations shall immediately submit formal written notification of the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Read the entire executive order here: Putting America First In International Environmental Agreements


Endangerment Findings for Greenhouse Gases - Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Administrator of the EPA, in collaboration with the heads of any other relevant agencies, shall submit joint recommendations to the Director of OMB on the legality and continuing applicability of the Administrator’s findings, “Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act,” Final Rule, 74 FR 66496 (December 15, 2009).


Social Cost of Carbon - The Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (IWG), which was established pursuant to Executive Order 13990, is hereby disbanded, and any guidance, instruction, recommendation, or document issued by the IWG is withdrawn as no longer representative of governmental policy.

Statement on the New Administration's Actions on Day 1

Gregory Wrightstone - Executive Director, CO2 Coalition


Donald Trump’s immediate actions as president included those to restore common sense to energy policy and environmental protection. Perhaps none are more welcome than those that would reverse the treatment of carbon dioxide as a pollutant and a threat to humankind. CO2 is a beneficial gas critical to all life and should be treated as such.
