…No, he didn’t. Just by any measure no he didn’t. Even if you just limit it to US presidents, no he didn’t. Nixon did more for climate change than Biden, by several orders of magnitude.
Nixon created the EPA, expanded the national park system as well as explicitly protected the Everglades from development, and worked to transition from coal to nuclear power. He was the last of the conservativism = conservation conservatives.
There are accounts he primarily did all of this to just ensure his reelection and accumulate political capital and good will, but that hardly changes the fact he was one of the best US presidents in terms of environmental policy.

I have no idea, so in total seriousness, I would love to hear details.
