The worst-case scenario for U.S. emissions cuts under Biden was still better than this new best-case scenario under Trump, per @rhg.com:

After Trump’s budget law and regulatory rollbacks, the country’s carbon emissions are set to fall much slower than they would have under the Biden admin.

How much of global warming is human-caused?
More than 100%
How can that be? Doesn't climate change naturally too?
Of course
But according to natural factors--changes in the sun's energy, volcanic eruptions, natural cycles & more--the planet should be slowly cooling now.
Instead, it's warming 😬
