1. A Great Speech in Which Biden Laid Out His Plan to Fight Climate Change

This needs to be done, of course, and should definitely be the main focus of his message on climate change. But as I was watching this video, I was wondering if it would also be good to help voters understand just exactly what Trump's damaging environmental policies have been, and the corruption and self dealing that has been behind them. The Republicans are backed by the Koch brothers, as one of the world's top climate offenders and climate change deniers, but also, we must not forget the influence of Vladimir Putin, whose Russian economy is very, very dependent on oil and fossil fuels. And I suppose that Trump's closeness to MBS and the Saudis also plays into his pro-fossil fuel and climate denial stance.

I would like to initiate a dialogue as to whether or not, and how, the American voter should be educated on these things. Any opinions?
