We’ve already waited too long to deal with this climate crisis. We can’t wait any longer, said Mr. Biden, speaking at the White House. We see it with our own eyes. We feel it. We know it in our bones. And it’s time to act. The Biden administration has announced a global climate summit for April 22nd - Earth Day - by which it will announce a new set of specific targets detailing how the US will lower its GHG emissions,

Yesss !!! "The Interior Department took swift action to deliver on President Biden’s campaign pledge to block oil and gas drilling on public lands, freezing such leases for the next 60 days." "Biden has nominated Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM) to lead the Interior Department, and her signature would be required to establish a permanent moratorium on new oil drilling on public lands."
