It has been around 20 years since a lengthy discussion on climate change featured in a presidential debate during which time a monumental shift has happened in how America views the crisis.
Two-thirds of Americans think that the US government should do more on climate change and moderator Kristen Welker asked both Donald Trump and Joe Biden how they would step up on the issue during the final presidential debate on Thursday, with millions of Americans already taking to the polls ahead of election day on 3 November.
Calling it an “existential crisis”, Mr Biden sounded the alarm for the world to address global warming, as Mr Trump took credit for pulling the US out of the 2015 Paris Climate Accord, the international agreement aimed at doing precisely that.
Mr Trump said his focus was saving American jobs, while taking credit for some of the “cleanest air and water the nation has seen in generations" — partly down to regulations passed in the Obama era.

I posted an article about how rare earth metals are going to be in short supple. There simply are not enough to transition to “renewable energy” and China controls 60% of present day production. America would be dependent on China for our energy production! I didn’t find Trump’s response bizarre. There are environmental problems in production of windmills and PV panels etc. I didn’t see Trump’s people running around cleaning up after Trump. Biden’s people spent a bunch of time explaining what Biden really meant when Joe talked about ending fossile fuel use etc.
