Environmentalists are sounding an alarm over what a conservative playbook for the federal government could mean on everything from climate change to the conservation of public lands.
Leaders of the green group Earthjustice warned Monday of wide-ranging environmental impacts if the policies laid out in Project 2025 are adopted.
That 922-page playbook, organized by the conservative Heritage Foundation, has become a flashpoint in the presidential campaign. Democrats continue to assail former President Donald Trump and his allies for promoting those policies, while Trump himself has sought distance from the plans. Many of the authors served in Trump’s administration.
“On climate, there’s no shortage of dangerous ideas — of bad ideas — if you care about a livable planet in Project 2025,” Jill Tauber, vice president of litigation for climate and energy at Earthjustice, told reporters.
