In this second half of our interview, Paul Bledsoe, former Clinton White House climate advisor, warns of the environmental dangers posed by Donald Trump’s “Project 2025,” which seeks to dismantle key agencies like the EPA. Bledsoe explains Trump’s second term could be more dangerous, contrasting it with Kamala Harris’s centrist, pro-clean energy approach.
He stresses the importance of voter turnout, particularly among young people, and highlights the election’s global stakes, including climate policy, the war in Ukraine, and international alliances.
