The Spin

The fight against climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. Under Biden, the US has been doing more than its part, and the president has set up future presidents to succeed in this realm. Despite what Pres.-elect Trump promised his supporters while out on the stump, he should have a change of heart and keep the US at the forefront of this fight.

The US' exorbitant spending on climate change is nothing to brag about. While Americans have been struggling with a sputtering economy, Biden has devoted far too much of the country's resources to climate change, which may or may not even be a problem. Trump will have to reverse pretty much all his predecessor's policies as part of restoring the US as an economic power.
