For the Biden-Harris administration to achieve the emissions reductions goals it set for itself — let alone constructively respond to the United Nation’s recent climate assessments in the short time we have left — the White House will have to circumvent gridlock on Capitol Hill.
And it would appear the Biden-Harris administration appreciates as much. On one hand, the White House has set out a “whole of government approach” to climate action, both to eliminate by 2050 the federal government’s own planet-warming emissions footprint and to increase its resilience against the effects of climate change.
