What policies will Biden implement? Also how will he going to get China to implement them as well? The US alone cannot stop climate change.

Partly as the continuation of the lowering in the last years of Obama, partly due to lowering of environmental standards, which will cause health and even economic problems in the long run.
Can't see that Trump did anything in that. The lowering of tensions between Israel and Saudi-Arabia and some gulf states began before Trump and has much to do with a common enemy: Iran. The Kushner plan is dead, because the Palestinians were not included in its design, they simply refuse to work with it.
Its new to me that Biden wants to hamper the solar energy industry or other branches were new "energy jobs" will be created in the future.
Yes, the opposing party always credits the previous president with anything good that happens in the current administration.
Believe what you think is true based on good evidence.
Solar, wind, geothermal etc. are not viable to produce the amount of energy we require. Some experts think we don't have enough fossil fuels to transfer to a 100% renewable energy economy. We need to manage the decline.
All renewable/non carbon producing technology has negative environmental impacts as well. Also, most renewable energy equipment requires fossil fuels for production. Where are we going to get the energy required to power all the electric cars? It is not as simple as just mandating change we need to have a plan. We also need to have real science and discussion if we want to lower the impact on the environment. The only way is to radically change our way of living. Most are not willing to do that.
You can do it only for 2 years, unless you have special cases (what has to be proven). But for the first year almost everything in the economy is the result of what happened before. Like a large ship needs time to change the course (you can stop the machines miles before the harbor).
Define "unwarranted". Environmental danger is mostly a thing of the future. We now suffer from plastic n fish that reached the oceans in the last decades, we suffer from climate change that has started about 200 years ago, and accelerates because now some critical points have been crossed ... two examples were damage was not prevented because regulations who could do it were "unwarranted" (China told the world climate change was an US invention to hamper the Chinese economy, when the Chinese got caught by the reality, and the Paris agreement could be achieved, Trump began to repeat this slogan, with only a slight change).
What evidence? You seem to have no arguments against the evidence I mentioned.
You certainly have to do some effort to reduce the amount of energy you consume. One reason American cars do not sell well in the world is that they consume too much gas without giving more power to the engine ...
The last sentence is true in almost every part of the world. Perhaps a good welfare system will help to persuade the people that a change will give more benefits in the long run than harms in the present.
Forgotten Three Miles Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima?
Trump had the lowest unemployment in 50 years before the shutdowns. The economy was very strong. Was that due to Trump policies or Obama's?
I define unwarranted as environmental regulations that have no effect on the environment or that are unachievable. Note that I am not saying no regulation, I am saying smart regulations that actually do something. Considering the consequences of one regulation on another part of the environment is needed.
American cars have the same fuel efficiencies as foreign cars for the most part. They probably don't sell well because they are an inferior product to Asian and German cars.
No, not at all. The air was a lot worse in cities when I was a little kid. We have made good progress in my life with good policies. That is what I am advocating. We need to be real about the problem so we can get to a real solution. What if a 100% renewable society is not achievable? We should have a plan for this instead of running into disaster wishing we will get there.
Maybe.
