播音员: 特朗普政府上任以来,采取了一系列措施,大幅削减了美国的应对气候变化的政策和资金投入,这发生在全球各国都未能实现其既定环境目标的背景下。特朗普政府的行动包括削减应对气候变化的资金,解雇国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)的员工,以及退出巴黎气候协定等。这些行动将气候变化问题置于次要地位,对全球应对气候变化的努力造成了负面影响。 Akshat Rathi: 特朗普政府的气候政策倒退对全球气候变化的应对造成了严重的影响。任何程度的全球变暖都会使地球环境恶化。特朗普政府或其他国家退出气候目标会导致全球变暖加剧,因为这会减少对清洁能源的关注,并更多地依赖化石燃料。此外,忽视气候变化的科学事实会导致无法做出明智的决策,从而无法保护民众免受即将到来的危害。 播音员: 特朗普政府的政策对绿色科技投资也产生了重大影响。许多资金来自美国,并流向美国的初创企业。美国政府对气候技术的漠视,为其他国家提供了机会,可以吸收美国的科技人才和技术,发展绿色能源产业。中国是目前最有可能从美国在绿色科技领域的退缩中受益的国家。 Akshat Rathi: 虽然短期内大力发展化石燃料产业可能带来经济利益,但从长远来看,这会损害美国在绿色科技领域的竞争力。大多数专家认为,未来的能源将来自可再生能源,因为它们广泛存在、易于获取且成本低廉。美国政府不再关注或承认气候变化,这意味着当极端天气事件发生时,美国和世界将面临更大的风险。越来越多的气候倡导者认识到,气候行动必须与经济增长和其他指标相协调,才能获得民众的支持。
