So have we in the west simply shrugged off our environmental responsibilities? Is that the popular thing to do this time around?

It's just a Chinese hoax! 😝

But on a more serious note, the Trump-US is not all of West. I doubt even Trump can pull out of the Paris Climate Accord very easily. Most other West countries are still pushing strong towards the Paris Climate agreement.

Not so bad as that, but impeding regulations are going to be removed so we can dig up the Appalachians and the northern plains. What's a little flammable water when it comes to an economic boom? Gee whiz.

Trump's win does not mean 'the West' is backing out of green action. It's one election in a big world. I'll continue to act locally.

It's all overblown... the real worry is the cities that take over nature ground itself.
