Factbox: On climate, it's Biden's green revolution versus Trump's war on red tape

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. presidential election pits a politician who plans to tie the country's economic recovery to tackling climate change against another determined to remove as many regulatory hurdles to oil, gas and coal production as possible.

President Donald Trump, a Republican, has focused on dismantling former President Barack Obama's climate agenda to free the energy and auto industries from the costs of regulations meant to protect health and the environment.

Joe Biden, a Democrat who served as Obama's vice president, has beefed up his strategy to tackle climate change with a focus on a new massive green infrastructure to re-invigorate the U.S. economy that is reeling from the worldwide coronavirus pandemic.

As deadly wildfires tear through all three states on the West Coast and remind Americans of climate change's risks, here are some of the major issues at play in the Nov. 3 election.
