Biden did more to battle climate change than any president in living memory. Trump has done the opposite, we don't have another four years of runway to speed the collapse, the time for revolution was when Bush stole the election.

Dude, we're just not going to meet the climate goals we need to. Not with Biden, not with Trump. We need someone that's not afraid of the owner class bitching and moaning and withholding donations, and our system simply isn't wired that way.

But I'll bite, what did Biden do to address climate change, and what's the tangible impact?

The Inflation Reduction Act encouraged $3 trillion of investments in renewable energy, he's been working to triple nuclear energy production, and he blocked the construction of oil pipelines.

It's not about picking a candidate to meet the goals, that ship has sailed. We had the choice between Biden/Harris and Trump, the difference in climate policy between them is staggering.

You know what causes ungodly amounts of pollution? war. Blowing up and burning whole cities. Biden sent the bombs that blew up all of the west bank and Gaza, and ensured the war would continue. Dont lecture us about how great an environmental president he was. Biden also set up drilling and mineral exploitation everywhere. He was no environmentalist.

As opposed to all the presidents we've had who didn't send bombs to Israel or set up drilling and mineral exploitation?

We need to invest in renewable energy production if we are going to survive the next century, Biden invested more than any president in my lifetime.
