As Earth Day Approaches, The President's Climate Agenda Stalls
Newsy
President Biden plans to mark Earth Day in Seattle Friday, but he's struggled to make progress on the sweeping environmental agenda he campaigned on.
One year ago, Joe Biden marked his first Earth Day as president by convening world leaders for a virtual summit on global warming that even Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping attended. The president used the moment to nearly double the United States' goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, vaulting the country to the front lines in the fight against climate change.
But the months since then have been marred by setbacks. President Biden's most sweeping proposals remain stalled on Capitol Hill despite renewed warnings from scientists that the world is hurtling toward a dangerous future marked by extreme heat, drought and weather.
