Biden confronts extreme heat, a silent climate killer

[BumRushDaShow]

20. You are posting something that referenced a summit back in April, 2 months after Biden took over

and 5 months later, in the middle of a goddamn pandemic, it's supposed to be "fixed".

Remember that for the past 4 years, after TFG announced the U.S. would withdraw from that Paris accord and before the withdrawal actually became official less than a year ago, EVERY mention of the word "climate" was systematically stripped from the Rules, Regulations, and informational websites of EVERY government agency that had any impact or say about it.

I posted in a GD thread about what is being done "behind the scenes" that the media is not reporting, regarding the systematic but tedious rollback of all the bullshit that happened the past 4 years including in this post - https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=15848659

An example of a climate-related Rules negation was included -

There is also another "Biden priority" for throwing out the TFG change in Emissions Standards -

S.J.Res.14 - A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Oil and Natural Gas Sector: Emission Standards for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources Review".
ROLL CALL - Vote Counts: YEAs 52 | NAYs 42 |Not Voting 6

This joint resolution nullifies the Oil and Natural Gas Sector: Emission Standards for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources Review rule published by the Environmental Protection Agency on September 14, 2020. The rule finalized amendments to new source performance standards under the Clean Air Act for the oil and natural gas sector, such as an amendment that removed limitations on methane emissions from such sector.

There is a summit coming up which is what the article I posted is an attempt to get back on track.

There is sadly a breathtaking lack of Civics 101 on DU and what has to happen to legally get things done. I know in fairy tales someone can stomp their feet and pound the podium and wave a magic wand to make things all better instantly, but we are not there yet.
