From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Charles Rotter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six weeks ago, the BBC\u2019s climate soothsayers were gazing into 2025 with their trademark blend of gloom and green idealism. Their January 7 piece, \u201cFrom Trump to a \u2018Game-Changing\u2019 Lawsuit: Seven Big Climate and Nature Moments Coming in 2025<\/a>,\u201d sketched a year of UN lawsuits, lofty CO2 targets, and global summits\u2014all set to \u201cshift the dial\u201d on warming. They gave Trump\u2019s return a nervous glance, hinting his Paris exit might \u201chinder climate action,\u201d but banked on technocrats and NGOs to keep the faith. Then the Trump juggernaut roared in, flattening their predictions in under two months. Now, with NGOs in the crosshairs, the rubble\u2019s still smoking. What a difference six weeks make.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

However, some experts say momentum is now on the side of the energy transition despite any actions Trump will take. \u201cThe result from this election will be seen as a major blow to global climate action,\u201d Christiana Figueres, the former UN climate chief, told the BBC in November<\/a>. \u201cBut it cannot and will not halt the changes under way to decarbonise the economy and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global economics have changed significantly since Trump was last president, says Stientje van Veldhoven, regional director for Europe at the World Resources Institute (WRI), a non-profit based in Washington DC, and former environment minister of the Netherlands. \u201cWhereas eight years ago, the economics worked against [the clean energy transition], now they very much start to work in favour of it. That is one thing that has really changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Step one: the BBC\u2019s pre-election bubble. In early January, they listed seven \u201cbig moments\u201d for 2025\u2014Trump\u2019s term as a minor snag, followed by a UN climate court case, G20 greenwashing rules, UK CO2 cuts, Brazil\u2019s COP 30, Arctic talks, and some tech fluff. They hedged on Trump, clinging to China\u2019s renewable hype and Biden\u2019s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as lifelines. NGOs, those tireless peddlers of climate dogma, lurked in the background, funded by agencies like USAID to amplify the narrative. The BBC figured the machine would chug along, Trump or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: Trump swings the axe. By January 20, 2025, Inauguration Day ink still wet, Trump unleashed chaos. He re-ditched the Paris Agreement, declared an \u201cenergy emergency\u201d to greenlight oil and gas, paused offshore wind, and froze IRA funds. But the real kicker? He\u2019s targeting the NGO pipeline. Word\u2019s out that Trump\u2019s team is slashing climate propaganda budgets, especially to those previously depended on the now defunct USAID, which had funneled millions to groups preaching doom and pushing renewables. The BBC\u2019s mild worry about \u201chindered action\u201d didn\u2019t foresee this bulldozer tearing up the roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: AR7 talks collapse. Last week, the U.S. bolted from the IPCC\u2019s Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) negotiations\u2014a body blow to the climate science cartel. <\/a>The BBC had pinned hopes on AR7\u2019s 2028 release to keep the pressure on, but Trump\u2019s crew smelled more alarmist tripe and walked away. Without U.S. cash and clout, the IPCC\u2019s scrambling. NGOs that lean on these reports for fundraising? They\u2019re sweating now, with USAID\u2019s spigot gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: NGOs take the hit. Here\u2019s where it gets juicy. USAID and similar agencies have long been ATMs for NGOs\u2014think Greenpeace, WWF, or lesser-known outfits lobbying for net-zero. Trump\u2019s killing that gravy train, redirecting funds to energy independence over climate sermons. The BBC\u2019s \u201cbig moments\u201d relied on these groups to grease the wheels\u2014lobbying for that UN lawsuit, hyping COP 30, guilt-tripping G20 stragglers. Without U.S. dollars, their megaphone\u2019s muted. The impact\u2019s seismic; propaganda doesn\u2019t run on fumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: global plans crumble. The UN climate lawsuit?<\/a> Dead in the water if Trump tells the International Court of Justice to shove it\u2014and he will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Expected in early 2025<\/a>, the ICJ ruling would be non-binding but could be cited in climate court cases around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough non-binding, ICJ advisory opinions carry significant moral and legal weight,\u201d says Setzer. \u201cThis advisory opinion has the potential to establish a global benchmark for climate accountability and reinforce the connection between human rights, sustainability, and environmental protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The UK\u2019s 81% CO2 cut by 2035? A quixotic quest when America\u2019s drilling, not decarbonizing. Brazil\u2019s COP 30? A tropical talk shop without U.S. heft or NGO hype. The G20\u2019s greenwashing crackdown? Toothless when the world\u2019s second-biggest emitter opts for coal and crude. The BBC didn\u2019t game out a Trump who\u2019d choke the NGOs keeping this circus afloat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step six: the green dream stalls. Biden\u2019s IRA was the BBC\u2019s ace\u2014billions in clean energy handouts to outlast Trump. Nope. His 90-day funding freeze is a prelude to gutting it, with cash flowing to pipelines, not windmills. Solar and wind firms are jittery, their stocks wobbling as subsidies vanish. NGOs pushing renewables as gospel? They\u2019re scrambling for new sugar daddies as the checks bounce. The BBC\u2019s January vision didn\u2019t account for a Trump who\u2019d kneecap the whole ecosystem\u2014propaganda and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a front-row seat to a rout. Six weeks ago, the BBC thought 2025 was set for climate crusaders\u2014lawsuits flexing muscle, summits preaching unity, NGOs amplifying the panic. They didn\u2019t see Trump\u2019s juggernaut coming, least of all his aim at the NGO cash cow. From Paris to AR7, from USAID to COP 30, he\u2019s not just slowing the train\u2014he\u2019s dynamiting the tracks and torching the wreckage. The BBC\u2019s crystal ball? Smashed. The view of the debris? Priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
