What Trump's Victory Means for Climate Change

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Mr. Trump told a jubilant crowd Wednesday that the United States, which signed a global agreement last year to transition away from fossil fuels, will instead amp up oil production even beyond current record levels.
42% : Thomas J. Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, a conservative research group focused on energy, said Mr. Trump has a mandate to prioritize fossil fuels.
34% : The oil and gas industry called Tuesday's election a clear rejection of President Biden's climate policies and an embrace of an energy policy that centers on fossil fuels.
30% : "No matter what Trump may say, the shift to clean energy is unstoppable and our country is not turning back," Gina McCarthy, President Biden's former climate adviser who now helps lead America Is All In, a coalition of elected leaders, community groups and businesses promoting climate policies.
27% : "If Trump blows up Biden's climate change regime, and we don't get global climate under control, the prospect of a robust economic future with growth and economic opportunity for everyone -- all of that shrivels away and becomes less and less likely," he said.
