We talk a lot about President Trump's tariffs, deportations and job cuts, but the most overlooked part of his second term is climate policy. I joined @GraihaghJackson to breakdown the sweeping changes to America's environmental policies. Listen to The Climate Question 🌍 here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct70…

#TheClimateQuestion on @BBC asks “Was #COP29 climate summit a success?" Not really, not yet, I answer. I speak to @GraihaghJackson & @JordanDunbar10 (From min 12) to remind @BBCSounds that even the very insufficient pledges are not being met. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct5w…
