Donald Trump's 'insane' climate change policy will destroy more jobs than it creates and also speed up global warming

Donald Trump's 'insane' policy 

Speeding up global warming , at the same time destroying jobs.

US energy department report says less than 200,000 work in coal, oil and natural gas, compared to more than 650,000 in wind, solar and bio fuels.

Donald Trump will speed up global warming and will potentially destroy more American jobs than he creates, the Environment Protection Agency claims.Tom Crowther, who recently led a global warming report that is already being adopted by the United Nations, also said the US President’s short-sighted approach was “brutal” and “insane”. Dr Crowther, back in December, said average temperatures are forecast to increase by 3 Celsius by 2050 and that global warming is beyond the 'point of no return' .
"It is an issue that deserves attention," the official said of climate change. "But I think the President has been very clear that he is not going to pursue climate change policies that put the US economy at risk. It is very simple."

"The previous administration devalued workers by their policies," the official said. "We are saying we can do both. We can protect the environment and provide people with work."

His report, which was celebrated by academics across the globe, said climate change scientists had not previously taken account of harmful carbon gasses emitted from the soil: known as ‘positive feedback’.“Certainly Trump’s policy will bump that number up and will accelerate climate change and that’s devastating,” said Dr Crowther, speaking to The Independent.

The former Yale University academic also said Mr Trump’s policy would destroy more jobs than it creates in the long run, because global warming will terrorize industries that are tied to the land . Mr Trump’s executive order seeks to reverse Mr Obama’s “war on coal”, but a US Department of Energy report in January claimed the renewable energy sector employed far more than the fossil fuel sector.It said 187,117 worked in coal, oil and natural gas, while more than 650,000 worked in wind, solar and bio fuels.“It’s only going to put the US at a massive disadvantage as the rest of the world moves forward,” said Dr Crowther. If, as a lot of studies suggest, that renewable energies employ more people than coal and other natural gases, then sticking with natural gas is reducing the potential for job creation.

Mr Trump’s executive order, signed on Monday, initiates a review of the Clean Power Plan which restricts greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants.“As Trump withdraws from all of these agreements, our once in a lifetime chances of offsetting the devastating impacts of climate change just continue to slip away," added Mr Crowther.
