But I just can’t see Biden meaningfully curbing emissions.
Biden’s climate plan was estimated to reduce US emissions by 40%. 40% five years from now is not nearly enough given the scope of the crisis, and I’d be surprised if it pans out exactly according to that estimate unless more action is taken, but I am floored that he was able to get that bill to pass through the current “climate change isn’t real please don’t look out the window” US government. What would you refer to as “meaningful” on this topic?
