Looks like Obama's score is so bad because he missed a bunch of Senate votes the campaign year 2008. Before then, he voted for all the environmental bills in the Senate, except one.

Looks like Biden missed some votes, too. He generally voted for environmental bills.

I'm fine with saying it's valid. mtnsnake Jun 2019 #37

I don't think I'd brag about it but I trust Biden on the environment. Drunken Irishman Jun 2019 #39
