Question about project 2025

How will affect climate change?

Answer

It proposes a "system to update" the 2009 Endangerment Finding. While this may seem innocuous, in actuality, this would have the effect of limiting the ability of the federal government to mandate any action for combatting climate change. In addition to the restriction of powers afforded by the finding, the document calls for the disbandment of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, which is crucial for researching and combating climate change. Finally, it encourages the transfer of environmental funding from "mission-based entities" to "state regulators", which can be dangerous as state regulators are more likely to prioritize profits for corporations over environmental preservation. The plan also advocates for "expanding offshore oil and natural gas drilling on public lands and waters." "Project 2025" may try to undermine actions that combat climate change.
