The election is less than two months away and neither candidate has laid out specific terms or plans for environmental policies if they were to win the election. Here’s what we do know.
The Trump administration was vocally critical of policies meant to protect the environment and pursued policies that would retrace protective measures. Recently, it was reported that former president Donald Trump promised to ease regulations on big oil companies if they supported his campaign to the tune of $1 billion.
Meanwhile, the Biden White House has been praised by some climate activists for its more progressive measures to implement pro-climate policies. It’s easy to assume that Vice President Harris would follow in Biden’s footsteps if she wins the election, however, no one is sure.
In this episode, host Kai Wright discusses why there is lack of clarity on climate issues from the candidates with award-winning journalist Amy Westervelt, founder of the Critical Frequency Network. They also explore why there seems to be less discussion of climate change, not only from politicians, but from the general public as well.
