During the recent presidential debate, Donald Trump reiterated his controversial stance on climate change, equating it to air and water quality, and blamed Joe Biden for increasing energy costs and rejoining the Paris Climate Accords. Trump posted a memo on Truth Social outlining his debate points, highlighting a decrease in carbon emissions during his administration, although many reductions were due to pandemic-related shutdowns. The debate spotlighted vulnerabilities for both candidates, with voters scrutinizing Trump's combative style and Biden's perceived age-related issues. The high percentage of undecided or third-party voters, estimated at 18%, adds unpredictability to the election outcome.
