Here are 10 climate executive actions Biden says he will take on day one

"We will be able to BREATHE again!"

President-elect Joe Biden is planning a flurry of executive actions when he takes office on January 20, and many focus on combating the global climate crisis.

Biden's legislative agenda on climate will largely depend on whether Democrats gain control of the US Senate, which will be decided in two run-off elections in Georgia taking place on January 5. But regardless of which party controls the Senate, Biden has pledged to sign a series of executive orders, which do not require congressional approval.

The 10 executive actions Biden has said he will take on his first day as president to combat the crisis and reduce emissions are:

-Require limits on methane pollution for oil and gas operations.
-Use the federal government procurement system to work towards 100% clean energy and zero-emissions vehicles.
-Ensure US government buildings and facilities are more efficient and climate-ready.
-Implement the already-existing Clean Air Act, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by developing new fuel economy standards to ensure all new sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles will be electrified, and annual improvements for heavy duty vehicles.
-Double down on liquid fuels like advanced biofuels and make agriculture a key part of the solution to the climate crisis.
-Reduce emissions and cut consumer costs through new standards for appliance and building efficiency.
-Require federal permit decisions to consider effects of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and ensure every federal infrastructure investment reduces climate pollution.
-Require public companies to disclose climate risks and greenhouse gas emissions in their operations and supply chains.
-Protect biodiversity, slow extinction rates and conserve 30% of America's lands and waters by 2030.
-Permanently protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, establish national parks and monuments, ban new oil and gas permits on public lands and waters, modify royalties to account for climate costs and creating programs to enhance reforestation and develop renewable energy on federal lands and waters to double offshore wind by 2030.

Stef Feldman, Biden's campaign policy director, tells CNN that Biden's climate plan is an "all-of-government agenda," and will be worked on across departments and agencies.

"From the very beginning of the campaign, when President-elect Biden rolled out his climate plan, he made it clear he sees this as an all-of-government agenda, domestic, economic, foreign policy," Feldman said. "From the very beginning, when he talked about infrastructure, he talked about making sure that it built in climate change, that we are making our communities more resilient to the effects of climate change."

Biden has laid out an ambitious climate plan with the goal of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It includes a $1.7 trillion investment in clean energy and green jobs, and calls for an end to fossil fuel subsidies and a ban on new oil and gas permits on public lands.

The President-elect has also promised on his first day in office to rejoin the Paris climate accord, a landmark international deal to combat the climate crisis that Trump pulled out of in 2017.

Well, this one -

-Reduce emissions and cut consumer costs through new standards for appliance and building efficiency.

None of this business will 'cut consumer costs' because We the People and We the Taxpayers will be paying for all this with higher taxes and higher fuel bills, higher energy bills, etc. Nothing ever gets cheaper!

This one -

- new standards for appliance and building efficiency.

Ick. My daughter has an 'energy efficient' dishwasher. It's crap. Doesn't work properly at all, but the worst thing is it takes at least 3 or 4 hours to wash the dishes. You have to do it at night before going to bed because otherwise you have no dishes all day. All the dishes that come out are terribly dirty. It's nasty.

My daughter also has 'energy efficient' air conditioners. They're so annoying, you definitely can't sleep in a room with them on. And just being around them - it's off for like 15 minutes, then it goes on blowing air and making noise for like 1 minute, then off for 15 minutes, then on for 1 minutes, etc. It drives you crazy. Like Chinese Water Torture (I suppose that's racist ...)

*******

And the Paris Climate Accord - that's where the US is forced to give loads of money to all the other CORRUPT countries who are the real Pollution Polluters. And where the only thing they're doing is implementing a 'Carbon Tax' on US, meaning you give them a lot of money for nothing. How StupidAss is that!

Yikes, this one!

-Protect biodiversity, slow extinction rates and conserve 30% of America's lands and waters by 2030.

"Protect biodiversity" means if there's a rare insect or animal on your land, they confiscate your land. The Government Confiscates any land that has some so-called soon-to-be-extinct lifeform on it.

Wow, that means more GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF 30% OUR LAND AND WATER from We the People.

But then you want The Government to Own All the Land, am I right, NuNativs?

*******

This one -

"develop renewable energy on federal lands and waters to double offshore wind by 2030."

Oh, oh - that means killing of millions of Birds! And RUINING THE WATERS/OCEANS because I'm sure you've read about what the Windmills in the Waters entails, NuNativs ...

********

This -

It includes a $1.7 trillion investment

How much pray tell is the cost of the whole package??? When they say it's going to cost $1.7 Trillion, that means it's going to cost $10 Trillion for nothing.

This -

reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

BTW, 'CO2' - Carbon Dioxide. That Carbon Dioxide causes 'Climate Change' is one of the Biggest Hoaxes of our lifetime. Don't tell me you believe the 'CO2, Greenhouse Gasses, cause 'man-made' Global Warming, NuNativs?

Even Recycling doesn't work and it also costs a fortune, remember, so good luck with all that.

Who cares what it costs, you don't think it's costing U.S., billions by having polluted Air?

That's my fave:
-Protect biodiversity, slow extinction rates and conserve 30% of America's lands and waters by 2030.

But then you want The Government to Own All the Land, am I right, NuNativs?

NO, the People own the land in common and are highly Nomadic to discourage squatting which is unhealthy anyways. I'd like to see 75% Wild with minimum development.

I think WE should pursue Hydrogen power more than Wind. Split water with Solar, store the Hydrogen, then run it through fuel cells to generate Electricity. Water comes out the tailpipe...

You're gonna hate the New World Order that's cumming...
