What does Trump and Biden plan to do for Climate Change?

Hi my name is understanding_contribution and this is my post. As we all know Donald Trump and Joe Biden will be going up against each other for president but what I want to know is what they plan to do about the issue of Climate Change.
Donald Trump is the current president at the moment and is the leader of the Republican Party. People say, Donald Trump doesn't appear to show an interest about the environment and treats it like nothing even though it is a huge problem around the world. Most recently, wildfires in California, or in Australia. He does not seem to have a policy for climate change which shows he doesn't care. It is reported that he wants to cut down energy suppliers and support research into nuclear energy.
Now let's see what Joe Biden wants to do for Climate Change. Joe Biden is the head of the Democractic Party and the opposition candidate going up against Donald Trump in the election. Biden proposes 2 trillion dollars (which is a lot of money!) in spending over 4 years to work towards achieving 100% clean electricity by 2035. He also wants to achieve zero emissions by 2050 and like Trump wants to support research into the nuclear energy.
Personally, in my opinion, I think that Joe Biden has better plans for Climate Change because, unlike Donald Trump Biden actually cares about the environment and that would really help America raise more awareness for climate change and should treat it with more respect.
Thank you for reading my post!

Great work, understanding_contribution! This post is a fantastic balance of facts and opinion and opens up a great discussion. So do you think presidents have a responsibility to make policies to reduce climate change? What do you think should be done to help?
I think Presidents do have a responsibility on making sure their policies are useful and beneficial to their country. People should start thinking about the environment more and maybe trying out different ways to help make the world a better and cleaner place to live in.

I agree with understanding_contribution. Presently Donald Trump has accused poor forest management for the fires in California . He thinks that climate change does not matter but it obviously dose ! It is so annoying.😤
Good use of facts to back up your opinion!
I agree I agree with you authentic eagle Trump doesn't care at all about climate change even when it is affecting the planet a lot.

Dear Understanding_ Contribution,
Climate change really does matter! Donald is so annoying that he thinks climate change is not an issue!
It is really annoying that Donald Trump doesn't care about Climate Change even though it is affecting everyone (including himself) living on Earth.

The president needs to do something they can’t just sit there and watch climate change grow worse. I am not the president but I do more about climate change then Donald Trump does.😤😤😤😤
I think so to trump is not a good president and should do something about climate change

Good post understanding_contribution! I agree with you. I agree with you because I personally think Joe Biden is a nicer person, and Donald Trump is more interested in other things rather than climate change. I think this because I have never ever heard him say anything about climate change, but Joe Biden is more interested in other people, his country and climate change.
I agree with you protective_dusk because as well as he doesn't mention anything about Climate Change it may be he is avoiding talking about it because he doesn't know enough or he can't find any strong ways of convincing people in America that Climate Change isn't a big thing when it is actually really damaging the planet.

Wow interesting I do strongly think that Donald Trump does not really do much about climate change and just sits back and relaxes

That was very interesting and Joe Biden I think has better plans for the environment and I think that they should go up against each other

Great post! I do think that Joe Biden is doing a better job of helping the environment but it's not just the president of America who can help climate change. If Trump decides not to do anything then we should play our part and help it ourselves because we can not just rely on other people to do things for us and suggest how to help.
How much power does Donald Trump have to affect climate change, do you think? Does he have more or less than others?
trump is less because he doesn't want to because he want's to get nuclear energy but biden wants to put more money to the enviroment

Good point! I do think he has more power because he can tell others what they can and can't do which could lead to helping climate change if his rules are helping it whereas ordinary people may not be able to tell others what to do as other people may not believe they have more power over them.

It's Donald trumps responsibility to get rid of climate change its not Biden because he is not president

I agree because if we as humans kill the environment there is no way to survive but if we look after it then we would survive. All around the world we need people to help our lives depend on it.

The new president will have to act on co2 levels and stop climate change

Well done understanding contribution, but how do you know this is all true? Have you checked different sources to clarify this information is accurate?

I agree with you because Donald Trump is caring less about the eviroment
I agree with you because Trump seems to be ignoring climate change a lot and Biden is actually caring for the eviroment.
