What Will Trump’s Most Profound Legacy Be? Possibly Climate Damage
A piece in the New York Times about the lasting impacts of current action on climate change quotes RFF CEO and President Richard Newell.
“We’ve lost very important time on climate change, which we can ill afford,” said Richard Newell, president of Resources for the Future, a nonpartisan energy and environment-focused research organization in Washington. “There is severe damage. To ignore climate for four years, you can’t put a price on that. It’s a huge issue that needs to be confronted with long-term momentum and extreme dedication, and we have lost that.”
