CNN climate correspondent Bill Weir said Friday that “life on Earth” could be affected if former President Donald Trump is elected to a second term this November.
After Vice President Kamala Harris was named the party’s presidential nominee, she faced backlash for reversing left-wing policies, particularly those related to fracking. Weir hit back at Trump on CNN News Central by showing a video clip in which the former president is seen criticizing environmentalism over the years and questioning science.
“If you go back in the history of presidential elections, it’s hard to find a more consequential and divisive choice at the moment. Had Abraham Lincoln lost in the 1860s, or had Reagan ignored the generals about the Soviet Union? “Imagine that the American experiment may have ended, but life on Earth may not have known.”
“The science knows. The science really knows. But Project 2025 and the president himself have vowed to reverse climate change progress from day one. Part of the promise is: All pollution limits on emissions, power plants and methane, and withdrawing the United States from the Paris Agreement, perhaps for the last time, but simply withdrawing from the negotiations is a signal to the world that the United States is on board. We’re not going to do that,” Weir added. “Meanwhile, in China, Europe, and other countries, the clean energy revolution is happening at an alarming rate, and it’s happening in the United States, too. 75% of the anti-inflation money is going to mostly Republican districts. Texas is leading the nation in adopting clean energy these days simply because it’s the most economical.
Weir went on to say that even though Harris “hasn’t talked about” this issue as “the way voters on climate change want her to bring this issue to the forefront,” her campaign He said he believes the “commitments and documents” of the United Nations are more friendly to promoting environmental policy.

“This means that a Harris victory will not refreeze Greenland or slow the rapidly intensifying hurricane force,” Weir said. “But this momentum is clearly going to continue, and now hundreds of billions of dollars in private investment are being made pursuant to Inflation Control Act funding. Bill Gates told me that what he’s really worried about is… “It’s a signal to the rest of the world.”
“Because if we decide now whether to build a power plant, that’s a decision we’re making 30 years from now. And if America is too picky and can’t decide, we’ll go build it somewhere else. That’s what he’s thinking about from a practical business standpoint,” Weir said.
Although Harris has sought to convey moderate positions on issues such as fracking and climate change, a radical climate change protest group called Climate Defiance endorsed the vice president after a meeting in September, saying she “We decided to support her because she is a leader we can put pressure on and she is a leader we can put pressure on,” he said. Move. “
According to a recent report from Bloomberg News, environmentalists have already begun drafting a wish list of policies for Harris to implement if she wins the election, including an effective ban on oil exports. It is reported that this includes the activation of emergency powers.
