Additional emissions and global warming
Human activities are the principal cause of recent warming. Additional carbon dioxide traps heat and increases warming compared with emitting less.1–2
Warming increases risks from extreme heat, rising seas and changes in rainfall.
The effect of a policy is measured against a stated alternative. Emissions can decline overall while remaining higher than they would have been under stronger limits.
No policy-specific temperature estimate or attribution of an individual disaster is calculated here.
Climate policy, financial interests and effects
Additional emissions and global warming1–2
Trump’s disclosures show investments in oil producers, pipelines and drilling suppliers. His administration’s policies affect those businesses and future emissions. Ownership, government action, modeled climate effects and personal returns are separate parts of the evidence.1–7
EPA projected emissions after the repeal
Additional greenhouse gases contribute to warming1–2, 7
EPA’s analysis projects higher annual power plant carbon dioxide emissions under the partial repeal than under the standards being repealed.1–2, 7
