On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing a ProPublica piece about the potential human costs of the Trump administration’s anti-green agenda.
Their analysis shows that "extra greenhouse gases released in the next decade as a result of Trump’s policies are expected to lead to as many as 1.3 million more temperature-related deaths worldwide in the 80 years after 2035."
Though the US has emitted more climate-warming pollution than any other country, the world’s poorest and hottest countries – particularly those in Africa and South Asia – will suffer the majority of the deaths.
