Nearly every day, former President Donald Trump asks the same question on his failing social media platform, Truth Social: Are you better off now than you were four years ago?When it comes to the environment and, most urgently, addressing the climate crisis, the answer is unequivocal: yes. It is a simple and indisputable fact that President Joe Biden has done more than any other president in history to increase safe renewable energy, address the climate crisis, and protect the environment.
The president has also worked aggressively to reduce the impact of fossil fuels. Late last year, thanks in significant part to Biden's leadership, nearly 200 countries took the historic step of agreeing to a global pact to transition away from fossil fuels—a first in the nearly 30-year global effort to address the climate crisis.
