Depends on the next election if Trump's position on climate* was a temporary blip in US policy or the outlier of things to come.
My extremely partial advice is "Save the planet - vote Democrat"
* Remember how the EPA was forbidden to use phrases like "global warming"? I'm guessing that ban on even the language of honest analysis has been repealed.

It wasn't a blip in the radar, it was basically business as usual just with the mask off. Our politicians and capitalists have been knowingly murdering the planet for decades before Trump ever showed up, they just talk around it. They're not gonna save you, dude, so stop putting any faith in them. They care about money and power and everything else is dead last.
