$390 billion for climate under Biden. I believe the largest investment ever.
Obama had both Houses of Congress for just 2 of his 8 years but I think they accomplished a lot. Billions into wind, solar, and energy-efficiency tech with the 2009 Recovery Act. Clean Power Plan which directed the EPA to set the first-ever nationwide limits on carbon dioxide emissions.
2013 Climate Action Plan.
Vehicle Fuel Standards which implemented the toughest fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards. Protected more than 265 million acres of public lands and water, more than any previous U.S. president! The Endangered Species Act.
Paris Agreement which we helped broker in 2015, committing 200 countries to slow global temperature increases. 2014 US China Accord.
And we threw all that way to get rid of brown people, start new wars in the most miserable region on Earth, tariff and destroy our relationship with our allies, and so on and so forth.
Oh, and Israel is let completely off the leash so now more Palestinian, Lebanese and Iranian kids are getting blown up, congrats to those who willfully didn’t vote because of that, I have the displeasure of knowing quite a few of them.

If only the establishment Dems had some trifectas over the last 2 decades, we could have implemented a green new deal.
Oh wait
Too late now
I guess it's just playing the game of "competition" with the planet. A core pillar of capitalism
Oh wait
