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

Thank you, Climate Adam!
To my American friends, please vote 💙 blue 💙
Radicalized KHive to the rescue!!!
Well this is a good video
Hype
You, my brother, are awesome!!
Whether you believe in climate change or not, you should recognize that those who want to address it through authoritarianism are unimaginative and unfit to represent a free people.
It is the same institutions responsible for suppressing the technology that would help us deal with climate change in a non-disruptive way that would impose a carbon tax and authoritarian policy on us.
didn’t harris’s team say that she was going back on her promise to stop fracking…
As a hunter, I'm gonna stand with Harris to begin being true stewards of our ecosystems.
Until we have a candidate who is willing to put Capitalism at the center of this catastrophe where it belongs, we aren't going to see real, meaningful improvements in climate change R&D or implementation. Period.
As an American, the thing people sometimes don't appreciate is that a lot of this comes down to the makeup of Congress.
Kamala and most Dems would love to do more on climate change, but are limited by what Congress will pass and what the courts won't overturn. So, say, if Kamala wins and Republicans control Congress then don't expect much progress – not because of Kamala but because of the GOP.
Kennedy is the only candidate fighting for the planet. If you can't see that you haven't looked.
How many presidential candidates have all their policies on their website?
The choice is between terrible and absolutely immediately cataclysmic. It's a mistake to get overenthusiastic about Biden's record with new fossil fuel infrastructure and other horrors as CO2 emissions continue to rise -the IRA being an unprecedented step is more of an indictment of past policy than a reason to be impressed. There was a lot of fossil fuel subsidy in there too!
It's nothing on Trump though.
Over the next 4 years though even USA will become unable to ignore the accelerating climate cataclysm and Harris will undoubtedly make better decisions as things get worse.
Glad you made this…but trump supporters would never watch this channel anyway. They all believe climate change is a hoax and are primed and ready to go full-force back to fossil fuels. But thank you for making the video! Voting happily for Kamala 2024!!
Trump said he "didn't even know what net zero means". Please if you care about the earth at all vote 💙 America.
I highly doubt a Trump supporter would ever be watching a channel like this.
Indeed. How people vote in the US election really matters for climate policy. Thank you for your way of communicating climate science.
So you are a climate change activist for AMERICA but are you an economist? Do you understand that at the rate we are spending money on climate change, we spend around 4 Trillion dollars a YEAR and that will be all the way up to 2050. As much as you think this is SUCH A GOOD IDEA, Joe Biden said this is what will cause inflation to sky rocket, BUT DON'T WORRY FOLKS… IT WILL GO BACK DOWN!
NO IT WON'T! Senator Kennedy thinks this is outrageous AND SO DOES ELON MUSK … Do we need to take it seriously? Yes…. Do we need to throw ALL OF OUR MONEY AT IT AND STARVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? NO
Hype. Nothing will fundamentally change, as the democratic party machine repeatedly promises. One of the only ones it ever keeps.
He makes too many faces and grimaces
I’m sorry about Kamala Harris does not take global warming serious. I checked the information you mention. And there was no information about that. I will read something that she did the same thing in 2022 they actually messed it up more. And talking about Trump. Trump actually cares about your health and climate change. And I can send you links so you can see it. Where I live in Pennsylvania the air is a lot dirtier and I don’t remember from 2016 up to 2020 seen on the weather app saying that the air pollution was really bad going to 150. The highest I ever seen was like around 50% sometimes a look around April or May. With Joe Biden. For the past three years around April and May it goes almost to like 200. And then goes longer and sometime I can’t even breathe that good. I even started getting allergies two years ago from that. And you can check the information on the weather for the past three years especially last year and this year but we have got so many warnings about that the air is so dry that would be careful if you laid up stuff because it can get on fire. Look it up online. Not only that but we just had two big fires on Canada. All the smoke coming up here in different timelines. Are you gonna tell me that’s Joe Biden and Kamala Harris cares about climate change. And not only that but it’s just getting harder I don’t know where for the past two years. You’re gonna tell me that Kamala Harris cares about us and Joe Biden. Come on. When Trump was in the office not only prices were better but the air was better I was able to breathe better. The plants last longer. The water was cleaner. I remember in 2017 before I moved to my apartment the highway they were fixing the highway because Trump sent money so they can change the pipes from metal to plastic or whatever material they’re using now there is more healthy for us. Because the old pipes were metals and they were rusted and we’re basically putting metal in our foods. Not only that but because of Trump there was more jobs. And I remember the gas just been one dollar and you can fill up almost your whole tank easily. And the pizzas only for like four dollars. For a small pizza. Now you pay $11. And the food is process because kamala wants to control the food even around the world. And use more chemicals if you don’t believe me I’ll send you the link. Don’t get me started with some brand taste in different and people getting more sick even the coffee. We’re now it’s not as strong as before and the putting tiny pieces of Wood to mix it with the coffee so they can make it more. And the rice putting plastic with rice to make more of it because of illegal immigrants they cannot keep up. And they’re gonna have control of the food and climate change. And I only does she want to have control of healthcare and remove the private healthcare and just have Medicare for all or Medicare for all. Even for illegal immigrants the money is not gonna last until 2033. That’s probably going to last until 2026. Heck no I don’t want Kamala Harris. I want Trump and if Bill Clinton was like how he was back in 1990 then I can have another three years of Bill Clinton but he just change. He’s more immature. And Kamala Harris wants to allow illegal immigrants come into the country. Heck no I don’t want that. People getting raped how come they don’t talk about that. They just put one point but they don’t say the other point I hate that so much when they don’t give the other evil points. it just came out on the news that she put black people in jail because they used to smoke marijuana. But she also did it. And she laughed about it. How dare. And then she remove them so they can do whatever they want on the streets after she defunded the police. Not only that but there was a church with some guys molesting kids and people. He reported it to her office. But she didn’t do nothing. when she talks about supposedly been strong about rapist and Child molesters because something that she grew up with in her family. But she didn’t even do nothing and they kept protesting and reporting it and she didn’t do nothing she let them do whatever they want just for votes. How dare and if you have your food company your stores or whatever and you sell your stuff in a certain price to keep up she wants to lower it to a point that you’ll be wasting your money and basically you will have to close your company and then down to the same thing for the one up higher. Eventually all the companies will be closing because she wants to control it and lower price and put the tax really high. And the same thing for apartments and houses will lose all the houses and stuff because she wants to control the price and they won’t be able to make it higher. At least to a point where it’s balance not too high not low. People are not gonna be able to do that they’re gonna have to play by her book. No no no no I don’t want this country to become a communist country. This is not Cuba or whatever this is the United States of America the the only person that protect USA and cares about America and even puts American music with power is Donald Trump. She doesn’t even play American music she doesn’t even show the flag. I don’t want her to be the president heck no. Really scary with and which laugh heck no. It’s going to feel like we have a queen with a witch laugh. I do not want to see that. That will be so scary. And then what about killing children’s. How dare you get to live and kill your child inside your stomach. Heck no I like our Trump has it that the states can have their own rules. Just like Puerto Rico would you like it if your mom would kill you when you were in your moms stomach? Think about that. Let it sink in. Do you think it would be fair if you would not lived because your mom didn’t want to have you or whatever reason when she could’ve just have you and then put you for another parent to take care of you or something but no just kill you. I don’t understand it. How can a woman do that to a baby. So cold. Well let me finish with this. I will climate change. If you don’t believe me go online for this but one more point about climate change. To see if it’s true what you saying. This year for the first time we had thousands and thousands and thousands of tornadoes after the solar eclipse. You want to talk about climate change.
Never in my life been here for so many years I have heard so many news about tornadoes and tornadoes and tornadoes. And fires. Places with cows and animals.. It sounds suspicious right. But I just heard that there is a human made machine that can also change the climate a little bit I forgot the name but I’ll put it here later. I don’t know but it is strange. And this week. Something that I have never seen in my life the temperature in summertime at night time it went down to 52°. How weird is that. I’ve never seen that in my 40 years ever. Here in Pennsylvania. And you want to talk about climate change. Come on dude. Change the page and just put trump. Blue stands for cold poor evil darkness depression dumb Control sadness.
Red stands for happy energy rich power strength light protection Love care motivation Life vibrant common sense Smart ideas and anything that is positive. I vote for Trump because he saved me. President Donald Trump. Let’s vote for red. Because red is the light and blue is the darkness and God is the light an evil is the darkness . President Donald J Trump will be the president very soon. On November 5 he’s going to win it’s going to be the president of United States of America.
Keep up the good work !
We voting Kamala. Lfgooo
What does it matter. We are all on the way out anyway. Why? Dark energy is gradually taking over dark matter and when dark energy gathers enough strength, it will pull apart all universes (or is that unervie). So let's just party until it's all over.
No doubt Harris is the best candidate, but she needs to move much further than the position she took in her first TV interview as candidate: she needs to say no to fracking and no to Netanyahu
What about fracking?
Vegan climate-NPO volunteer American here. Would love to read more about how the IRA is actually good. From what I've read, it's mostly just subsidies for rich people to buy expensive cars (EVs) and upgrades for homeowners at a slight discount, and investment money for already-rich people to get even richer off renewable projects. From what ive read, the IRA is toothless for the environment, and will make inequality worse.
Cause as of now, Im not voting for either of them. Both roads lead to collapse, and that's unacceptable.
Also hard to overlook genocide.
Four more years!!!… of genocide 😮💨… and fake progress 😭… we're all so screwed. I appreciate everyone reading this though, Climate Adam fans, at least you're kinda paying attention, that's good.
A video about climate change that doesn't even mention the Green Party, or how both Obama and Biden increased oil production to record levels? The sad truth is that in an oligarchy neither the president nor their administrations dictate policies. You're right though, U.S. policies affect the entire world, and it will continue to be negative effects no matter who we vote for.
Unless we somehow discover a real world version of dilithium Crystals. I don't see us getting off of oil before it does more irreparable with in human time scale damage.
She is 100% BS.
trump will do Nothing to slow Climate Change or the 6th Great Extinction!!!! anyone BUT the rump!
Trump: Deny reality. Keep drillin' and keep killin'
Kamala: implemented some very helpful policies… but continue drilling, franking, pipelines…. and of course killing people. This will likely come with platitudes though.
yawn
I'm preparing a video :
"1 secret to change the planet in one click.Impact on the US election 2024!1 clic for humanity!"
Thanks you for you channel
Well Harris does support fracking
Adam, don't be so naive, during Biden's term US oil production reach the all-time record high – they may talk different, but they ARE same. Both parties are clients of the fossil fuel business, it's a win-win situation for them.
Ever heard of Petrodollar? It's a vital point of the US economy. The US will rather kill the rest of the world than give up it.
Both candidates unconditionally support Ishmael.
Continued support for Ishmael will result in vwv3.
The notion that we can fight both that and climate change at the same time is nonsensical.

What has Biden some for climate change? nothing, it's still a big problem and got worse. What has Biden done for Abortion rights? they were reversed during his administration. What has Biden done for World peace? made things worse. What has Biden done for the economy and jobs: made things worse. What has Biden done for social security: still going broke.
So, you make some interesting points and I can see where you’d be concerned. I’d like to point out that both parties have worked with the Heritage Foundation writers from what I’ve heard and it can be that neither have adopted the writings therein. So, this is defamatory is a way. Also, COVID shutdowns happen AFTER the 2020 (here), but you refer to that as a reason his numbers were lower. (He wasn’t in office then, so you maybe have a different timeline of events). Also, Democrats had extreme documents too that started coming out in 2016. Project 2020/now 2030 stuff where it mentioned “Medical Devices” and ways to track people). That was scary stuff. Many don’t any of the extremes, ESPECIALLY if it means loosing fundamental freedoms and liberties to come under a global government/system. I believe there’s a middle ground for us all and hope that the work between Trump/ Robert Kennedy will get us on the right track. We need good mutual ground. 🇺🇸 I feel it’s more important make sure our government is accountable via a press that’s unbias, we need to be less involved in wars, and have some economic stability/less government waste. And in that we can also tackle environmental issues. We can do both.
