The long list of promises by candidates for next US president also includesviews and plans on climate change. Results of national polls show a tough battle between Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton and RepublicanDonald Trump. Both the candidates have different opinions on environmental issues.

Mrs. Clintonhas listed two environmental topics- Climate change and protecting animals and wildlife- in her campaign, while Trump thinks there’s nothing in the environment to worry about. In several recent statements, Clinton has called climate change a threat to the world and the US economy, but Trump has discarded climate change.

Campaign website of Clinton has targetedclimate change and described how it could affect US economy, security and future generations.It has also disclosed that Clinton wants to keep current environment polices, and work on the Paris Agreementto combat global warming. She also talked about climate change in many interviews.

In a statement, she said, “I will work both domestically and internationally to ensure that we build on recent progress and continue to slash greenhouse gas pollution over the coming years as the science clearly tells us we must”.

On the other side, the Republican Party nominee,Trump, is completely opposite to Clinton. He is among those few Americans who think climate change isn’t real, and agreements like the Paris Agreement should be discarded. He also said that US is wasting time and money on climate change. Instead of it, the country should focus on topics like clean water, diseases, food production and others that could help today’s people.

Instead of wasting resources of climate change, US government should look for ways that could make people’s life better and safer, Trump said in a recent interview.
