Joe Biden, despite his presidency coming to an end in one month, has announced even more climate-based policies in another attempt to interfere with the incoming Trump Administration.
According to the Daily Caller, the White House’s announcement on Thursday included demands that the entire country cut its greenhouse gas emissions by between 61% and 66% by 2035. This goal has already been submitted to the United Nations, as per the Paris climate accords that Biden controversially rejoined after President Trump withdrew the United States from it.
However, this announcement has no enforcement behind it, and will likely be ignored or repealed by President Trump. The 45th and 47th president is also likely to withdraw the United States from the Paris accords once again, which proved to be one of his most popular decisions during his first term.
The White House justified this new demand, claiming that it “aligns with President Biden’s target of a net zero greenhouse gas economy no later than 2050 and marks an ambitious capstone to President Biden’s climate legacy, focused on investment, innovation, creating millions of good-paying and union jobs, building the clean energy economy of the future, reducing costs for all Americans, advancing environmental justice, and improving the health and security of communities across America.”
The U.S. is still behind even the previous emission targets set by Biden and the Paris agreement; while the country is on track to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 22% by 2030, the country would have to cut emissions by another 50% in the same timeframe in order to be in compliance with the Paris accords’ demands. The Biden Administration has spent over $1 trillion on efforts to implement and enforce such strict climate rules.
While Biden Administration officials expect that the incoming president will not follow these recommendations, they hope that individual states, mostly led by Democrats, will obey these demands instead.
