Donald Trump is now President of the most economically powerful nation on the planet and – the President-elect is self-avowedly no friend of God’s creation.

He has signed an order to withdraw from the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change and has pledged to roll back Biden’s clean energy law, the Inflation Reduction Act. And he’s doubling down on oil and gas: ‘Drill, baby, drill’.

All this is deeply troubling – to put it mildly! – to the vast majority of us concerned about the impact of climate breakdown on human prospering and creation’s flourishing. Maybe he’ll follow through on his pledges. Or maybe he won’t. Maybe there’s enough momentum towards a cleaner future even without the world’s biggest polluter on board. Or maybe there isn’t. Time will tell.
