«The Trump administration is continuing to pursue its pledge to prioritize American energy independence and SCALE BACK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S PLANS TO UNDERSTAND and prevent climate change.»

Caps mine for emphasis.

The clarity of the highlighted phrasing is stark. Even if you didn't have a massive global consensus of scientists telling you specifically what was up with the climate, and instead you only knew that weather was being pretty wonky in recent years—and really I think anyone on the street knows that—why on earth would you go the path of seeking LESSENED UNDERSTANDING??

"However, some elected #Republicans are nervous about a political backlash to a complete repeal of the #climatebill, despite having unanimously voted against it..According to Atlas investment tracker, more than 3/4 of the $160bn in privately led #cleanenergy and #manufacturing projects supported by the #IRA are in Republican-held districts"

The Guardian · Biden Trump-proofs $74bn in climate funding but $20bn remains vulnerableBy Aliya Uteuova

#Azerbaijan has announced a $1bn fund to invest in #ClimateAction projects in the #DevelopingWorld, to help #VulnerableNations build resilience to #ClimateChange risks, including #floods and #droughts.

This was announced as a prelude to the UN Climate Change Conference #COP29 – being held in November this year – by COP29 President-Designate Mukhtar Babayev at a news conference on Friday.

The #Climate #Finance #ActionFund #CFAF will be capitalised with contributions from #FossilFuel producing countries and companies across #oil, #gas and #coal, and Azerbaijan will be a founding contributor, he said.

DAWN.COM · Billion-dollar climate fund unveiled to help vulnerable nationsBy Khaleeq Kiani

The US government has announced a $1.15 billion investment into carbon removal technologies over the next decade. This is the largest funding ever for this field, which aims to capture and store carbon dioxide from the air or other sources. This could help the US achieve its climate goals and reduce the impacts of global warming. #CarbonRemoval #ClimateFunding #US
