Among the pile of executive actions President Donald Trump signed this week, there are several that will impact climate in Wisconsin.
Among them…Trump is withdrawing the United States from the Paris Agreement – again.
Negotiated about ten years ago, countries around the world agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to limit global warming and preempt the worst impacts of climate change.
Ryan Billingham of the Wisconsin Conservation Voters, which advocates for sound environmental laws and policies, says we’re going to have to take it upon ourselves to fight climate change.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Wisconsinites and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
