Biden’s radical climate agenda forces higher costs and worse choices onto Americans while accomplishing nothing—it’s about control, not a clean environment:

 

  • Upon taking office, Biden rejoined the globalist Paris Climate Accords, committing the U.S. to economic suicide for negligible carbon emission reductions: 

 

    • Achieving Biden’s climate goals through a carbon tax would slash U.S. GDP by $7.7 trillion over the next two decades and kill 1.2 million jobs.

 

    • Even if the U.S. eliminated all carbon emissions, it would only lower global temperatures by less than 0.2 degrees Celsius by 2100.

 

    • Meanwhile, China, the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, can increase their emissions through 2030. The Paris Accords are a victory for Communist China and a defeat for American industry.

 

  • In another win for China, Joe Biden imposed massive restrictions on the manufacture of internal combustion engine-powered cars to force Americans to buy electric vehicles:

 

    • Under the mandate, 67% of newly-built cars, SUVs, and light trucks must be electric by 2032.

 

    • Building an electric vehicle can create up to 65% more emissions than a gas-powered car due to the metals needed for lithium-ion batteries.

 

    • California recently discovered that electric vehicles, with their heavy batteries, experience greater tire wear, emitting more particulate pollutants than cars with internal combustion engines.

 

  • If Biden truly cared about carbon emissions, he wouldn’t be waging a war on clean liquified natural gas (LNG):

 

    • Over the last two decades, as LNG replaced coal as a primary source of generating electricity, carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. have plummeted by one billion metric tons.

 

    • Instead of boosting American LNG exports, creating wealth at home and lowering carbon emissions around the world, the Biden administration is halting new permits for LNG exports.

 

    • Biden’s SEC and Office of the Controller of the Currency have made investing in and lending to the natural gas industry harder, while the Department of Energy has increased costs for natural gas-powered boilers, water heaters, and stoves.

 

  • The Biden administration’s incompetence and addiction to DEI requirements is undermining its own agenda. Despite two years and $7.5 billion aimed at building 500,000 electric vehicle chargers, they’ve only managed to construct seven.

 

  • After a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio—a true environmental catastrophe that flooded the small community with dangerous pollutants—Biden played politics, ignoring them for over a year before finally visiting under political pressure.

 

President Trump championed environmental stewardship while rejecting anti-growth, anti-human green climate hysteria:

 

  • Under President Trump’s leadership, renewable energy production and consumption hit record highs in 2019, proving that economic growth and environmental protection can go hand-in-hand.

 

  • President Trump’s policies doubled electricity generated from solar power and increased wind power generation by an impressive 32% from 2016 to 2019.

 

  • The Trump Administration invested over $38 billion in clean water infrastructure, ensuring safer drinking water for all Americans and protecting our precious water resources.

 

  • In 2019, America led the world in reducing carbon emissions, achieving the largest decline of any country. This was accomplished even after withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, debunking the myth that environmental progress requires globalist agreements.

 

  • President Trump signed the Save Our Seas Act to target the critical issue of marine litter, holding foreign nations accountable for ocean debris and launching the first-ever federal strategic plan to address this problem.

 

  • The Great American Outdoors Act, signed by President Trump, marked the single largest investment in America’s National Parks and public lands, ensuring their preservation for future generations.

 

  • President Trump signed the largest public lands legislation in a decade, designating 1.3 million new acres of wilderness, demonstrating a commitment to protecting America's natural beauty.
