Even FORBES agrees with the science: "There are many clear choices at stake in tomorrow’s Presidential election. One of the starkest is climate and it comes at a time when the planet is careening toward catastrophic levels of warming.

Vice President Kamala Harris has called climate change an “existential threat.” While she hasn’t detailed a climate plan, she’s widely expected to continue federal support for clean energy and electric vehicles in an ongoing effort to move the American economy away from fossil fuels. In 2022, she cast the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act and has pledged to fully implement it.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has called climate change “one of the greatest scams of all time,” and vowed to end federal support for the clean energy transition, while ramping up drilling for oil and gas, including in the Arctic."

For folks trying to bring climate-motivated voting through down-ballot candidates, I'll mention Climate Cabinet (https://climatecabinet.org/). Their whole thing is weighing the effective climate change stances of down-ballot candidates in state and local elections -- roles that hold a lot of aggregate influence.
