Climate Adam: Kamala Harris and Climate Change - Hope or Hype?

Posted on 13 August 2024 by BaerbelW

In common with climate scientist Dr. Adam Levy's purpose and in keeping with Skeptical Science's philosophy and role as a US 501(c)(3) non-profit, we present this video to our readers as a perspective informed by verifiable facts, not as an endorsement or recommendation. Please see video description for references.

Before it's even begun, the race for the White House has made headlines - from the attempt on Donald Trump's life, to Joe Biden suddenly quitting the race, and Kamala Harris stepping up to take his place. But what could this race for Presidency mean for our planet? How could the next President of the United States affect climate change? Fortunately we can look at Harris and Trump's records to find out - both have acted (for better or worse) many times in their careers on climate change.

Huge thanks to Miriam Nielsen @zentouro for her invaluable American input on this video

  1. I thought that was an exceptionally well presented video. Its useful to look look at the priorities Trump and Biden place on using tax payers money, spending and borrowing. Trump prioritised tax cuts mostly for already profitable corporates and for millionaires, creating a big deficit, while Harris supported the inflation reduction act that helps solve environmental problems, creates jobs with all skills levels, so benefits a wide group of people, and builds important infrastructure. You choose.

  2. The US is now the leading producer of fossil fuel in the world. This needs addressing.

  3. Well, it certainly needs all that because to be the worlds "good" policeman, you need at least 100million barrels of oil a year. It's a bit of an estimate since to disclose your militaries emissions is an optional answer at the COPs. The worlds militaries account for maybe 5.5% of the worlds CO2 in a year. www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/12/elephant-in-the-room-the-us-militarys-devastating-carbon-footprint

    I certainly agree the classic ugly american Trump is unbelievably bad for most and the planet but as in my Australia and many countries, for many reasons,trust in our chosen public officials has declined and seems the sad new norm. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Public_trust_in_government.webp
