Biden just unveiled America’s ambitious new climate goal. Trump will assuredly undo it

The Biden administration just announced an aggressive target for the US to cut its planet-warming pollution over the next decade – a goal that will all but assuredly be reversed by President-elect Donald Trump in his first days in office.

The ambitious new target aims to cut US climate pollution to 61-66% below 2005 levels by 2035, which would have been a challenge even if voters had elected another Democratic president. Trump has said he intends to drill for more oil and gas, shred federal climate regulations and seek to overturn Biden’s clean energy law.

A new target is required every five years by the international Paris Agreement, which Trump has promised to once again pull the US out of. Biden made climate one of the centerpieces of his presidency – by announcing the US target well before its February 2025 due date, the administration is signaling the path America should strive to take against the headwinds of an anti-climate Trump administration.

“We’re confident in America’s ability to rally around this new climate goal, because while the US federal government under President Trump may put climate action on the back burner, the work to contain climate change is going to continue in the United States with commitment and passion and belief,” White House senior adviser John Podesta told reporters. “That’s not wishful thinking. It’s happened before.”

First, Paris was never ratified by the US Senate. It was written in a way to avoid the US Senate. Hence, it is non-binding, so, there is no requirement. And, Trump best pull the US out of it immediately, unlike his last term.

Second, how is this America’s goal? If the majority thought so they’d have voted for Harris. If the Warmists thought so they’d practice what they preach. Instead of acting like Biden and his advisors, who have monster sized carbon footprints. If they want to continue, let them all do it on their own, rather than forcing this on the We The People. The government is there for us, to listen to us, not the other way around.
