I’ll be taking a bus to a swing state to help elect Harris this coming weekend. You don’t need to do quite that much; there are [actions hosted near you](https://go.kamalaharris.com/) to join.
The reason is that while Harris isn’t in absolute 100% agreement with me on every detail (unless I run for office, no candidate will be), she’s the candidate much closer to taking adequate climate action. [The Biden/Harris administration did a lot](https://ghostarchive.org/archive/0Bx1x), starting with Harris casting the deciding vote for the [Inflation Reduction Act.](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.01443#page=4), a key piece of climate legislation. We even saw [major cuts to the leasing of federal lands for coal](https://www.npr.org/2024/05/16/1251856806/biden-ending-new-leases-in-americas-top-coal-region), as well as [big cuts to oil and gas leasing](https://imgur.com/biden-has-leased-few-acres-to-oil-gas-companies-vmuUCzY)
By contrast, Trump [appointed a coal lobbyist to run the EPA](https://www.citizen.org/news/the-coal-lobbyist-now-running-the-environmental-protection-agency/) and [took steps to increase not just greenhouse gas emissions, but a wide variety of human-impacting pollutants](https://archive.is/hCxSk), is surrounded by people who [want to eliminate any effort to address the climate problem](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf), and [solicited a billion-dollar bribe from the oil industry](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/09/trump-oil-industry-campaign-money/)
