One of the least covered topics in our presidential elections is the environment. Our two candidates also have completely opposing ideas regarding topics such as climate change and energy use. Hillary Clinton promises a push for clean and renewable energy while Donald Trump calls man made climate change a hoax. Clinton also wants to boost water supplies in California while Trump says there is no drought and that its just poor water management and distribution by the government. Trump also claims that the Chinese made up the idea of global warming as a marketing technique.Clinton on the other hand wants to make a large shift to wind and solar power and create jobs through environmental preservation, restoration and management. Trump on the other hand wants to boost the coal and oil industry back up. He also has this insane plan to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency. It is a tough call who is more of an environmentally friendly presidential candidate.
Not the one does not already know this but Donald Trump is an idiot. There is no other way to put it. He bases what he says off of how he "feels" about the environment. He uses no relevant accurate data to back what he is saying. He either blames the idea of Climate Change on China or takes out a bogus statistic about how the temperatures in Texas are at an all time low, as if Texas represented the entire world. The only time he wants to acknowledge global warming and rising sea levels is when his golf course is in danger. His response to his golf course suffering from erosion from higher sea levels is to of course build a wall around it. This is no joke. He applied for a permit to build the wall. Trump is also notorious for attempting to debunk global warming by gauging the temperature where he is and if it is cold, tweeting about it saying global warming is a hoax. Hillary Clinton may not have all the greatest ideas about environmental protection as she has had a history of being pro-fracking. At least she has a plan though so that our planet does not implode. It would have been life to have a candidate like Bernie Sanders who has extreme ideas to get our planet back on a path where we do not have a mass extinction. http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environment/2016/10/13/voter-guide-clinton-and-trump-global-warming-energy-and-california-drought/91277414/
