New York Times : Climate change is being discussed by US presidential candidates, and it may prove to be a key issue in choosing the new commander in chief. Like most Democrats, candidate Hillary Clinton is a strong proponent of climate change action, and she has spoken many times about her plan to address global warming. Donald Trump, however, has been extremely vocal in his opposition to the idea of climate change; he claims it’s just a hoax. If elected, he has said he plans to rescind President Obama’s climate change regulations and withdraw the US from its commitment to abide by the recent Paris climate agreement. Trump’s views may alienate some Republicans who oppose Obama’s policies but don’t necessarily deny climate change outright.
