Oh so he’s going to start running on an anti-capitalist platform and start trying to implement the radical societal changes we’ll need to see to stop us further fucking up the planet?
It doesn’t matter if you’re “smart” enough to see the impact of climate change if you’re stupid enough to do nothing about it.

“Nobody can deny the impact of climate crises—at least nobody intelligent can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore.”
I don’t have the patience to sit through that entire boring video for just one sentence. Anyone wanna give me a time stamp to jump to?
On the desktop version of YouTube, click the three dots to the bottom right of the video and a menu pops up. In that menu, choose ‘view transcript’ and you can then do a text search of the audio on it. The relevant spot is at 7min 30sec
In terms of what he has done:
- He passed the Inflation Reduction Act.
- Set vehicle fuel economy rules to push a phase-out of gas cars for most uses
- Push through regulations which cut emissions from electric generation by 90%
- Sharply reduce new oil and gas leasing of federal land
What he hasn’t done: stop issuing drilling permits. This is because the US courts have generally held that once a lease is issued, the right to drill is a property right, and you’d need to pay the leaseholder to not drill at all.
