NextImg:What Trump’s Cabinet Picks Say About Climate Change

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s cabinet choices run the gamut from people who acknowledge the threat of climate change to those who deny the scientific consensus that emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are dangerously heating the planet.

But virtually all support Mr. Trump’s plan to extract more oil and gas and erase environmental rules, which would exacerbate global warming. And some who once acknowledged the problem now downplay the danger.

Mr. Trump’s cabinet is shaping up to be the polar opposite of President Biden’s on environmental matters. Mr. Biden applied what he called a “whole of government approach” to climate change, directing each of his cabinet secretaries to prioritize the issue.

Mr. Trump, who mocks climate change, wants agencies across the federal government to make it easier and more profitable for oil and gas companies.

Here’s a sampling of how his cabinet picks view climate change and energy.
