Donald Trump picks Susie Wiles as his White House Chief of Staff—Get your popcorn and climate reading ready!

Donald Trump has once again made headlines, and this time it’s not just about his ever-popular hairstyle. The President-elect has announced that a familiar face will be leading the administrative charge in Washington, D.C.: Susie Wiles, his campaign manager, will step into the role of White House Chief of Staff. This notable appointment is expected to bring back memories of the 2016 election, where Wiles played a pivotal role in ensuring a Trump victory in the critical battleground state of Florida. If that doesn’t scream “drama,” I don’t know what does!

In a world wrought with climate uncertainties and political fluctuations, many are already dusting off their crystal balls. The coming months are anticipated to bring significant changes not only to America but also to global climate policy under Trump’s leadership. As Wiles gears up to manage the inner workings of the administration, experts are predicting a potential rollback of regulations that support greener initiatives. So, if your New Year’s resolution was to become more eco-conscious, you might want to reconsider those plans—or at least keep an eye on the upcoming developments.

But hold your horses; amidst all this climate chaos, the narrative does not stop with just Trump and Wiles. Her past experiences navigating the tricky waters of Florida politics will likely contribute to how the administration communicates its direction. With a track record that includes slaying the competition at the primaries, Wiles is not one to be underestimated. It sounds like Saturday Night Live material, except the consequences are all too real!

As you munch on your popcorn while following these unfolding events, it might tickle your funny bone to know that despite Trump’s potential plans to puff up fossil fuel production and cut green energy spending, Australia is getting all sorts of spunky with their climate policy. It seems they are ready to keep the momentum of climate action alive, regardless of what happens in the U.S. In short, the whole world is collectively holding its breath—and checking in on who has bought the climate-crying emoji.

Did you know that Susie Wiles wasn’t just birthed for the spotlight of politics? She was rumored to have a spellbinding talent for karaoke—legend has it she nailed an impromptu rendition of "I Will Survive" during a campaign smooch-fest in Orlando. Meanwhile, climate experts are rallying together, reminding everyone that every small action counts. Because, let’s face it, we might just need a little more than just divine intervention these days to get back on track!
