Lame-duck President Joe Biden has just announced a list of “ambitious” new targets to supposedly fight “climate change.”
Biden unveiled the “climate” goals in a White House fact sheet on Thursday.
He is planning to roll new “emissions” reduction targets just weeks before President Donald Trump is sworn back into power.
Biden is now aiming for the entire American economy to cut its net greenhouse gas emissions by 61-66% by 2035 relative to 2005 levels.
The White House revealed that these new “ambitious” targets will be submitted to the United Nations (UN) according to the Paris climate accords.
The Biden administration is touting the new goals as a demonstration of American “climate leadership.”
However, the targets are non-binding and will likely be ignored by Trump, according to The New York Times.
According to the White House, aligning America with the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” goals will secure “Biden’s climate legacy.”
Yet, the statement didn’t mention how much Biden’s plan would cost taxpayers who, of course, would be paying the bill for the outgoing president’s “climate legacy.”
The White House said Thursday’s announcement “aligns with President Biden’s target of a Net Zero greenhouse gas economy no later than 2050 and marks an ambitious capstone to President Biden’s climate legacy, focused on investment, innovation, creating millions of good-paying and union jobs, building the clean energy economy of the future, reducing costs for all Americans, advancing environmental justice, and improving the health and security of communities across America.”
Notably, the U.S. is already behind on its existing “emissions” targets dictated by the UN and WEF, according to BloombergNEF.
America is on pace to only cut “emissions” by 22% by 2030 despite at least $1 trillion in climate spending from the Biden administration.
The U.S. would need to reduce emissions by 50% come 2030 if America is to comply with the “Net Zero” agenda.
Trump pulled out of the Paris climate agreement during his first term.
However, the Biden administration reentered the deal almost immediately upon taking office in 2021.
The president-elect is likely to drop out of the accords again in his second term.
Although, it remains to be seen whether Trump will try to make America’s withdrawal more permanent.
The Biden administration is apparently well aware that the new targets are not likely to have any staying power given Trump’s impending return to the Oval Office.
Nevertheless, Biden officials and unelected foreign globalists are hoping that Thursday’s announcement inspires states to keep pursuing climate policies even if the Trump administration does not, according to the NYT.
The new emissions goals are the latest post-election move by the lame-duck Biden administration to try to shore up its climate agenda.
The Biden admin is pushing to funnel as much climate cash as possible to protect the green agenda from the incoming Trump administration.
The incoming America First Trump admin will work to deregulate the energy sector and claw back cash from signature Biden climate programs.
In the weeks since November 5, the Biden admin has handed out $1.6 billion in “environmental justice” grants.
He has also sealed major taxpayer-funded loans for green energy companies, given the green light to California regulators to alter the national auto market, and released a long-awaited analysis of the impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports that could get in the way of Trump’s push to unshackle such exports.
