Biden Will Take Climate Change Seriously: Lowell Sun letter to the editor
For every presidential election, there are always a multitude of issues voters must consider when deciding who to vote for. To me, there’s one issue that rises above all others this year: climate change. According to the UN Climate Chief, we have two years to save the planet. Two years to stop burning fossil fuels. Two years to fully transition to a clean energy economy. Two years to curb fossil fuel pollution.
This poll shows that nearly half of Americans thought Trump’s presidency hurt us on climate change. We are already living through the impacts of global warming: erratic weather patterns, wildfires, floods, loss of biodiversity, and ongoing pollution. Climate change is no longer some distant threat, but a current crisis. Unlike Trump, Biden’s administration supports policies prioritizing the climate crisis, supporting the transition to clean energy, rejoining the Paris accord, and targeting net zero emissions.
These shouldn’t be footnotes, they should be headlines. The long-term cost of ignoring climate change will outweigh any short-term economic or political turmoil we currently face. This year’s election is a binary choice and Joe Biden is the only one who will take action on climate change seriously.
