"Who’s Advising Donald Trump on Climate and Energy?"

"A handful of people among the list of mostly bankers and investors advising Donald Trump on the economy have taken positions on climate change and U.S. dependence on fossil fuels.

A look at the 23-member economic team gives some insights into who has the Republican presidential nominee’s ear on matters of energy and the environment.

Trump has called for ramping up oil, gas and coal production and has promised a reduction of mostly environment-related regulations. He opposes the centerpiece of the Obama administration’s climate agenda, the Clean Power Plan, and would seek to pull the U.S. out of the international Paris climate agreement. His positions on these matters are in line with most congressional Republicans and many Republican voters."
