Biden is a climate hero by presidential standards, the best we’ve ever seen. What, you haven’t heard?
Here’s an article by Michael Thomas who writes about climate change:
In the last few months, the Biden administration has quietly passed multiple federal policies that will transform the United States economy and wipe out billions of tons of future greenhouse gas emissions.
The new policies have received little attention outside of wonky climate circles. And that is a problem.
Earlier this year, I wrote that Biden has done more to mitigate climate change than any President before him. For decades, environmentalists tried and failed to convince lawmakers to pass even the most marginal climate policies. It wasn’t until Biden took office that the logjam broke and the climate policies flowed. And yet few American voters are hearing this story in an election year of huge consequence.
It’s been two and a half months since I wrote that article. In that short time, the Biden administration has passed a handful of climate policies that will collectively cut more than 10 billion tons of planet-warming pollution over the next three decades, more than the annual emissions of India, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and the entire continent of Europe—combined.
In today’s story, I’ll share a summary of three of these policies and the impact they will have over the coming decades.
I generally write stories like this for Distilled’s paid subscribers. But in an election year as important as this one, I want to keep stories like this free to read and share. If you want to support this work please consider becoming a paid subscriber or sharing this article with a friend.
Do click over to read it if you have time. I didn’t know this and I follow the news, particularly the accomplishments of the Biden administration in this election year. It’s important, especially if you have young voters in your family. There’s nothing more important and Trump has openly vowed to the oil industry that he will reverse every single regulation and every bit of climate legislation if he wins.
