| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
| 0:06.0 | So today, we're going to talk about Trump losing the environmental fight. |
| 0:12.0 | Trump has pushed back hard against even modest climate efforts. |
| 0:16.6 | He's used every rhetorical trick in the book, and he's engaged in a series of high-profile |
| 0:22.4 | moves that undermine the fight against climate change. He's tried to push his dated beliefs |
| 0:28.8 | while he's pushing dated, dirty, obsolete, more expensive energy sources. It hasn't worked. |
