To be clear: there’s a night-and-day difference between Biden and Trump, with the former having actually taking significant action, and being likely to take more if reelected. Trump will look to maximize both extraction and consumption of fossil fuels in a way that Biden simply didn’t and won’t.
The climate crisis is an ongoing gradient of “this is bad” to “humans are extinct” and every tenth of a degree we can prevent is worthwhile.
We don’t prevent degrees though. The temperature is steadily increasing. At best, we delay degrees.
Unless we actually stop increasing carbon emissions (which we aren’t doing right now), we’re fucked.
Marginal gains add up to the changes we need. All or nothing thinking will kill us all.
As opposed to the level of change Biden is willing to accomplish which… will still kill us all.
You mean like this piece of legislation he pushed through, which is basically the first major bill in the US which addresses climate change? https://earthjustice.org/brief/2022/what-the-inflation-reduction-act-means-for-climate
