Why Trump’s ‘God Squad’ Is Not Like the God Squads Before It
Why it matters: The composition of Trump's 'God Squad' could lead to significant rollbacks in US climate policy and environmental protections.
- Pat Parenteau, an emeritus professor at Vermont Law and Graduate School, highlights the unique nature of Trump's 'God Squad' compared to past panels.
- The 'God Squad', a panel mentioned in the Living on Earth interview, is largely composed of individuals who could reshape environmental policies.
- Jenni Doering conducted the interview with Parenteau for Living on Earth, focusing on the implications of this particular 'God Squad' on climate policy.
The 'God Squad' under Trump, a panel primarily focused on environmental issues, is distinct from previous iterations due to its potential to significantly alter climate policy, according to Pat Parenteau. This new composition raises concerns about the future of environmental regulations and the balance of power in addressing climate change.
