It's Fair To Say At This Point That Climate Change Is A Priority For This Administration

Yesterday, President Biden signed an  Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.  It's even more comprehensive than last week's order.  Indeed, my main reaction to the order isn't to any of the specific provisions.  It's one simple realization – he really means it.  And I think that's the point.  There is no question at this point that President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. really believes that climate change is an existential crisis.  When presidents near the end of their terms, commentators often talk about a president's efforts to define their legacy.  Eight days into President Biden's term, it's clear that he is going to do everything possible to make the fight against climate change at least one very big part of his legacy.
