Do Trump and Harris have climate change plans? See where both candidates stand

As Election Day 2024 approaches, neither former President Donald Trump nor Vice President Kamala Harris have released their plans to address climate change or energy policy. Their campaign speeches, party platforms and track records in office provide some guidance for voters on what they might expect from a Harris or Trump administration.

The public record shows the two hold widely diverging views on climate. Trump has in the past called climate change a "hoax" and more recently, he told Elon Musk in an interview in August that the biggest threat to the world "is not global warming, where the ocean is going to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years." (In fact, a 2022 report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggested that along U.S. coasts, sea levels could rise by two feet or more by 2100.)

The former president says increasing oil and gas production will make the U.S. the world's top energy producer. "Drill, baby, drill," he often says at campaign rallies.
