    After decades of effort ending in failure, near-misses or small wins, Congress finally delivered transformative legislation to tackle the climate crisis in 2022. This would not have happened without Biden’s leadership, as well as the efforts of Congressional champions and countless climate action advocates and analysts.

    Of course, the hard work of deploying climate solutions at the necessary speed and scale has only just begun. This task is now more difficult due to the divided 118th Congress, but the landmark legislation enacted by the 117th is secure for at least the next year. There are opportunities for the 118th Congress to deliver incremental progress through bipartisan clean energy permitting reform and Farm Bill reauthorization.

    We either get this, or we get full steam the other way. I’m not blown away by what he has done, but arguing that he is going in the wrong direction just doesn’t align with the facts.

            why this is the most effective climate legislation

            When a poster blatantly misrepresents what I’ve said, I view that as them just admitting they realize I’m right.

            other than Biden claiming so

            lol you act like I didn’t just link you the analysis of some third party.
